Vegetatio Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A computer program package of six programs for vegetation classification is described. The package includes raw field-data input, automatic and user sequencing modes, final table and synoptic table preparation which are ‘camera-ready’ and also allows the user the option of ordinating by means of DECORANA.
