Vegetation Classification and Survey

This books targets a wide audience of practitioners and researchers alike. First, it introduces newly developed, dynamic classification concepts based on the ability of plants to adapt to change along environmental gradients; second, to illustrate how such concepts can be operationalized along environmental gradients to tailor vegetation classification to a specific management purpose and scale while maintaining access to original data. It provides practitioners and students alike with the necessary tools to analyze data and apply the results to real-world research and management problems.
