The relevance of the concept of potential natural vegetation in the Anthropocene

Plant Ecology and Diversity, 2021
The concept of potential natural vegetation (PNV) refers to self-sustaining mature vegetation matching the environmental conditions a site offers.

Understanding properly the `potential natural vegetation' concept

Journal of Biogeography, 2010
AbstractThis is a response to critical comments concerning the inappropriate use of the potential natural vegetation (PNV) concept made in a recent contribution to the Commentary section of this journal. We consider that the PNV concept has been misinterpreted.

Reconstructed natural versus potential natural vegetation in vegetation mapping ‐ a discussion of concepts

Applied Vegetation Science, 1998
Reconstruction mapping of the natural (primary) vegetation of intensively cultivated land is based on: (1) classification of actually existing remains of natural or near‐natural plant communities as mapping units; (2) delimitation of their habitat types; (3) detection of correlations between vegetation units and habitat types. Natural plant communities

A vegetation map of The Netherlands, based on the relationship between ecotopes and types of potential natural vegetation

Plant Ecology, 1978
To adjust the physical planning in The Netherlands to new views of this time, including ecological views, the National Physical Planning Agency has started a study in process planning with the natural environment and human society as most important components. Within this framework two additional ecological studies were initiated: a.

Potential natural vegetation: validity and applicability in landscape planning and nature conservation

Applied Vegetation Science, 1998
Abstract. Since the introduction of ‘potential natural vegetation’ (PNV) as a concept in vegetation science by Tüxen (1956), many PNV‐maps with different scales have been made. Tüxen emphasized the great value of PNV‐maps for different purposes in land use, landscape planning and nature conservation, in particular with regard to forestry, agriculture ...

Precise vegetation restoration in arid regions based on potential natural vegetation and potential normalized difference vegetation index

Restoration Ecology, 2023
Precise vegetation restoration is critical in drylands, as some inappropriate restoration attempts have even increased water scarcity and degradation in afforestation areas. Potential natural vegetation (PNV) is widely used to provide a reference for the appropriate location and vegetation type of restoration programs while the appropriate restored ...

Mapping the Potential Natural Vegetation

1988
A map of the existing vegetation represents the plant cover at the moment of investigation. This can be the very purpose of the map, but it can also be a disadvantage in view of the over-all observed phytodynamics. Among various solutions to deal with this problem (see Chapter 23) an often used technique is mapping the climax or the (potential) natural
