| While these could be related to vegetation types, they indicated that there were other factors operating. | |
| Further quantitative analysis suggested that fewer ecological groupings were sufficient to describe vegetation types. | |
62 Citations | Other Californian vegetation types sampled include coniferous forests, oak savannas and desert scrub, and demonstrate that different community structures may lead to a similar species‐area relationship. |
| Results show that different vegetation indices have different sensitivities to diverse grassland types. | |
| The frequency of polyploids in the present vegetation types support this interpretation. | |
| If a vegetation type has several different physiognomies, the name may refer to that vegetation and to only one of its physiognomies. | |
| This hierarchical system of vegetation types (syntaxa) reflects the underlying ecological fabric of European vegetation and allows a deep insight into evolutionary drivers of the vegetation diversity on the Continent. | |
| These indices make it possible to quantify the differences and similarities between different vegetation types in their responses to changes in climatic conditions. | |
| The analysis shows that there is considerable variation both within and between vegetation types in leaf form. | |
103 Citations | The magnitude of change varies between vegetation types, although the nature of change shows many similar characteristics. |
| Different types of vegetation, defined by areas of land use type, show distinct differences in how they respond to the changes in water storage, which is generally consistent with our physical understanding. | |
| Thus, there has been a strong human role in determining the distributions of vegetation types in the region. | |
59 Citations | Only minor changes in species composition and cover were detected in the vegetation types studied. |
| When used together with vegetation structure, plant functional types facilitate rapid vegetation assessment that complements species-based data and makes possible uniform comparisons of vegetation response to environmental change within and between countries. | |
| We suggest focusing more on the differences between vegetation types when addressing the climate–vegetation relationships at a regional scale. | |
309 Citations | also show that persistent vegetation types have benefited more than recurrent types from recent changes in growing conditions. |
| The results provide new insights into the cover and distribution of vegetation and land cover types. | |
| The results of the land-cover classifications demonstrated inherent trends of vegetation types along elevation and moisture gradients. |

How many plant species are there?5 answersThere are varying estimates of the number of plant species. One paper suggests that there are approximately 450,000 flowering plant species globally, with two-thirds of them found in the tropics. Another paper estimates the currently known and described number of plant species to be around 374,000, with approximately 295,383 of them being flowering plants. Yet another paper provides a range of 400,000 to 700,000 vascular plant species, including angiosperms, gymnosperms, and pteridophytes. Additionally, another paper mentions that there are about 250,000 species of vascular plants globally. Finally, one paper estimates the total number of higher plants to be 270,000 species, with 43% of them being crops or cultivated plants.
