Abstract:We introduce a procedure to predict the vegetation shift using traditional phytosociological survey (cover data). The cover value is generally obtained for each layer of the layered plant community, but usually maximum cover value over the layers used for the vegetation classification and recognition (C-max procedure). As an ameliorate procedure, we propose the procedure of every coverage of all layers used to evaluate vegetation shift (C-all procedure). The C-all procedure enables us to embrace the informatio… Show more
