The number of vegetation types in European countries: major determinants and extrapolation to other regions

Original language description

Questions: How many vegetation classes and alliances are described in European countries? What are the main factors driving the number of these vegetation types? What would be the estimated number of vegetation types in so far under-explored regions outside Europe? Location: Twenty-three countries and regions in Europe. Fourteen regions outside Europe. Methods: We compiled lists of vegetation types (phytosociological classes as broader units and alliances as narrower ones) described in European countries with a well-developed vegetation classification. The delimitation and nomenclature of classes and alliances were standardized according to a unified classification system for Europe. Generalized linear models were used to test the influence of floristic richness, area, sampling effort, altitudinal range and geological diversity on the number of vegetation types. Best predictors were used to estimate the number of classes and alliances in selected regions over the world.
