    Vegetation - Wikipedia

    • It is broader than the term flora which refers to species composition. Perhaps the closest synonym is plant community, but vegetation can, and often does, refer to a wider range of spatial scales than that term does, including scales as large as the global. See more

    Overview

    Vegetation is an assemblage of plant species and the ground cover they provide. It is a general term, without specific reference to particular taxa, life forms, structure, spatial extent, or any other specific botanical or … See more

    History of definition

    The distinction between vegetation (the general appearance of a community) and flora (the taxonomic composition of a community) was first made by Jules Thurmann (1849). Prior to this, the two terms (veg… See more

    Classifications

    There are many approaches for the classification of vegetation (physiognomy, flora, ecology, etc.). Much of the work on vegetation classification comes from European and North American ecologists, and they h… See more

    What is species composition in a forest ecosystem?
    In a forest ecosystem, for example, the species composition of the tree community may include information about the types of trees present (e.g., oak, maple, pine) as well as the percentage or number of individuals of each type.

    What is species composition in a forest ecosystem?
     
  1. Species composition refers to the identity and relative abundance of species in a particular community, ecosystem, or area. It involves describing the specific species present and their proportions or relative abundances within the community.

    What is the difference between species richness and species composition?
    In summary, species richness indicates the number of different species present, whereas species composition indicates which specific species are present and how abundant they are relative to each other within a given area or community. Both of these concepts are critical for comprehending an ecosystem’s biodiversity and ecological dynamics.

    Why is species composition important?
    Species composition has been used extensively to describe ecological sites and to evaluate rangeland condition, or similarity to a desired plant community. Measurements of composition over time can be used to characterize trend or changes in rangeland condition. Allows comparison of dominance of individual plants across plant communities.

    How do you calculate species composition?
    Species composition is generally expressed as a percent, so all species components add up to 100%. Composition can be calculated with measures of density, biomass or cover (Table 1). It is NOT appropriate to estimate composition based using frequency data! Table 1. Calculations of species composition by plant attribute.

    What is the difference between species diversity and species composition?
    Species diversity refers to the number of different species in a given ecosystem, while species composition is the total number of different species present. For example, an ecosystem rich in species diversity will have a large volume of individuals as well as a large species composition.
