- Title
THE PHYTOSOCIOLOGY OF CALLUNA-ARCTOSTAPHYLOS HEATHS IN SCOTLAND AND SCANDINAVIA.
- Authors
WARD, S. D.
- Abstract
The article reports on the study of the vegetation of Arctostaphyleto-Callunetum in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It uses a technique wherein misclassification of plants is determined through association analysis to redefine Arctostaphyleto-Callunetum groups for ecological interpretation. It examines vascular plant groups of Arctostaphyleto-Callunetum which were classified into lichen-rich (A), herb-rich (B), intermediate herb-rich (C), and herb-poor (D). It shows that vascular plants' vegetation is related to soil-type. It also demonstrates that bryophytes and lichens of Arctostaphyleto-Calluna recovers after burning.
