Abstract

The homogeneity of sets of phytosociological relevés or syntaxa—the homotoneity—is tested by means of a homotoneity-coefficient. This coefficient consists of the basic homotoneity-coefficient expressing the proportion of highly constant species (61–100%) in the species composition of the average relevé and the correcting factor which is proportional to the difference of species number between the richest and poorest relevé. Successive analysis of heterotoneity of sets of relevés for detecting sources of heterotoneity is proposed.
