EUROPEAN VEGETATION SURVEY - FROM THE METHODOLOGICAL DISCUSSION TO THE FIRST APPROXIMATION

Show other versions (1)

The methodological basis of phytosociology is discussed. This method for the study of vegetation was first proposed by Braun-Blanquet for the analysis of the floristic structure of plant communities and their synecology, but in the last decades floristic data have been emphasized, whereas ecological...
