...If we consider this and the chorological and dynamical elements, which contribute to the diagnosis of plant communities, it becomes rather evident that the basic vegetation units of plant sociology represent not only classification categories but also true ecological types with strong indicator value and significant potential for environmental modelling (Pignatti et al. 1996; Blasi et al. 2003; Biondi et al. 2004; Ceschin et al. 2010)....
