Journal ArticleDOI
A climatic stratification of the environment of Europe
TL;DR: The EnS as mentioned in this paper is a statistical stratification of the European environment, suitable for stratified random sampling of ecological resources, the selection of sites for representative studies across the continent, and to provide strata for modelling exercises and reporting.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of Rarefaction Analysis for Estimating Palynological Richness from Quaternary Pollen-Analytical Data
TL;DR: The use of diversity indices such as Shannon's information index or Simpson's index is not appropriate with pollen percentage data because such indices consider both the numbers of different taxa and their relative frequencies or representation as mentioned in this paper.
Book ChapterDOI
New approaches to direct gradient analysis using environmental scalars and statistical curve-fitting procedures
TL;DR: In this article, the conceptual framework of direct gradient analysis (DGA) is discussed in relation to the functional, factorial approach to vegetation, which uses abstract simplified environment gradients with which to correlate vegetation response.
Book ChapterDOI
Searching for a Model for Use in Vegetation Analysis
TL;DR: The effectiveness of indirect vegetation analysis with artificial data sets is entirely dependent on the appropriateness of the model used to generate the artificial data as discussed by the authors, whose efficacy depends on the relevance of their model of the vegetation/environment relationship.
Journal ArticleDOI
A hierarchical approach to ecosystems and its implications for ecological land classification
TL;DR: This article proposes a nomenclature for hierarchical ecosystem classification based on common practice in ecological land classification and considerations on comprehensiveness which is inspired on and closely follows the Canadian terminology, but incorporating some frequently used European concepts.
