Towards unification of national vegetation classifications: A comparison of two methods for analysis of large datasets

Original language description

In European phytosociology, national classifications of corresponding vegetation types show considerable differences even between neighbouring countries. Therefore, the European Vegetation Survey project urgently needs numerical classification methods for large datasets that are able to produce compatible classifications using datasets from different countries. We tested the ability of two methods, TWINSPAN and COCKTAIL, to produce similar classifications of wet meadows (Calthion, incl. Filipendulenion)for Germany (7909 relevés) and the Czech Republic (1287 relevés) in this respect. In TWINSPAN, the indicator ordination option was used for classification of two national datasets, and the extracted assignment criteria (indicator species) were applied crosswise from one to the other national dataset. Although the datasets presumably contained similar community types, TWINSPAN revealed almost no correspondence between the groups derived from the proper classification of the national datas
