Aims Vegetation classification consistent with the Braun‐Blanquet approach is widely used
in Europe for applied vegetation science, conservation planning and land management …

A biome is a key community ecological and biogeographical concept and, as such, has
profited from the overall progress of community ecology, punctuated by two major …

In this paper, we elaborated a new concept (the Regularities-Deviations-Uniqueness; RDU
framework) to analyse regional vegetation patterns and applied it to the Pannonian region of …

The mapping and monitoring of natural and semi-natural habitats are crucial activities and
are regulated by European policies and regulations, such as the 92/43/EEC. In the …

Coastal areas and other saline environments are major contributors to regional and global
biodiversity patterns. In these environments, rapidly changing gradients require highly …

Biome is a large-scale biotic community and its environment, defined using functional rather
than biodiversity-focused criteria of delimitation. Biotic communities are structured by drivers …

Southern Hemisphere is home to a variety of temperate forests; most are evergreen, and
only a small fraction is deciduous. Most of these forests are influenced by (and driven by) …

Walter's zonobiome system is poorly applicable in the Southern Hemisphere. Strictly
applying the climato-genetic criteria in the delimitation of zonobiomes has yielded a viable …

Biomes are large-scale biotic communities (ecosystems) distinguished by specific ecological
functionality and evolutionary origins. They can be studied and delimited using functional …
