More important considerations in the selection of stratification methods are the source of the vegetation data, the intended storage and retrieval mode, the accuracy and resolution requirements, and the intended use of the system. These considerations are discussed in the following sections. Storage and Retrieval of Vegetation Information Effective utilization of a vegetation information system for resource management purposes requires an efficient and appropriate method for data storage and retrieval.
The parentheses around the m for the R species indicates that their reaching maturity depends on the presence of other mature individuals. (VD) and (VS) species are those which can reproduce either vegetatively or from seeds. (Noble and Slatyer 1977) Succession Modeling 35 Application of the Model With this knowledge of a species occurring on a site of periodic disturbance, the replacement sequence can be predicted for that species. To illustrate, consider a Callitris-mallee community in western New South Wales (Noble and Slatyer 1977).
Discontinuities in the natural vegetation are sought for the purpose of determining the boundaries of the community types recognized. These are often best determined objectively by employing the methods of gradient analysis and ordination. The development of the Montana habitat-type system (Pfister and others 1977) is a good example of the successful use of ordination in developing a classification system. One should therefore view classification and gradient analysis as complementary philosophies and methods.
