Vegetation classification in Australia : proceedings of a workshop sponsored by CSIRO Division of Land Use Research, Canberra, October 1978

Vegetation classification systems developed thus far in the Australian region are neither universally accepted nor applicable to all types of vegetation or all types of land use problems. Those suitable for classifying rainforest are not necessarily applicable to other vegetation types. In this book scientists from a variety of related disciplines discuss various developmental aspects of vegetation classification that are relevant to Australia, though the ideas and techniques are of importance internationally. This volume brings together recent research on many aspects of vegetation classification. It is innovative, provocative and will certainly arouse controversy
