摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses Phytosociology, based on a study of the interrelationships plants themselves within an area vegetation. classification plant communities in different way. It provides methods analyzing phytosociological data and chance assessing value computers branch ecology. also valuable starting point for production terrestrial communities. The examines present situation involved efforts to put vegetation increasingly objective basis; basic assumptions, with regard both nature be analyzed statistical which can employed. properties data, analysis, classification, are discussed. use eliminates personal bias produces reproducible results given set by method. There two analysis used, inverse nodal analysis. A comparison phytosociology concepts future statistics provided..
