Formalised classification of aquatic vegetation in Slovakia*
Phytocoenologia, 2019Based on new Cocktail approach, we produced clear syntaxonomical classification of aquatic vegetation in Slovakia with a low number of non-classified or multiply classified relevés. Within three classes selected for the analyses (Lemnetea, Potamogetonetea and Charetea intermediae), altogether 8 orders, 9 alliances, and 55 associations were ...

Classification of dry grassland vegetation in Denmark
Journal of Vegetation Science, 2000Abstract. A hierarchic classification of Danish semi‐natural grassland vegetation on well‐drained soils is presented. TWINSPAN was used for clustering of 614 samples of grassland vegetation showing floristic gradients and turnover in species composition in more dimensions.

Vegetation classification and vegetation mapping in the Himalayas
Geobotanical mapping, 1996In the introduction the history of botanical exploration of the Himalayas is considered starting from the late XVIIIth century up to present time. The next part of the article is devoted to the history of vegetation mapping proper. Vegetation maps relating to the Himalayas as a whole and to its different parts are enumerated including the vegetation ...

The Classification of Vegetation
1988Every map that shows differences of vegetation implies a classification, and one might argue that every vegetation map is an application of the classification which a particular author happens to choose. This leads to the conclusion that the relation between classifying and mapping vegetation is that of a sequence in which the first item ...

Towards consistency in vegetation classification
Journal of Vegetation Science, 2011AbstractVegetation classification is a useful tool for basic and applied research as well as for environmental management. As classification of vegetation serves many different purposes, there is no single approach to defining vegetation types.

Vegetation classification in Greenland
Journal of Vegetation Science, 1994Abstract.An account of the description and classification of the vegetation of Greenland is presented. Four periods are recognized: the Physiognomic period, the Extension period, the Floristics‐Dominance period, and the Syntaxonomic period. The approaches used in vegetation classification pertaining to Greenland are discussed.

A Physiognomic Classification of Vegetation
Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 1949T is the task of biogeogrjhy to describe and explain the distribution of organisms I on earth. The use of maps as basic tools is inevitable, but, so far, vegetation maps have contributed little to studies of a world wide character. It is no longer possible to investigate the vegetation of an area without considering that of the neighboring regions, of ...

Polarimetric Classification of Vegetation in Prairie Landscapes
IGARSS 2008 - 2008 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2008The successful launch and commissioning of several fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar satellites has made possible the routine use of polarimetric imagery for the classification of and detection of change in the vegetated cover of our planet. In a precursor study for Radarsat 2 application development, three lines of airborne quad-pol SAR data

Classification of Tropical Vegetation
2016The increasing anthropogenic pressure on biodiversity in the tropics is resulting in changes to ecosystem structure and increasing species extinction rates (Collen et al. 2013). These issues are heightened in the tropics where 50% of the world’s biodiversity is held in 7% of the world’s terrestrial landmass (Urquhart 2001).

Vegetation Diversity and Classification Systems
1993The first modern attempt to classify and characterize vegetation and to relate it to environment can be traced to the beginning of the 19th century, to Alexander von Humboldt. Humboldt made extensive surveys of South America and tried to explain vegetation differentiation in relation to environmental characteristics, in particular those of the climate (
