Plant Community

A plant community is a collection of plant species within a defined geographic area that forms a distinct patch distinguishable from surrounding vegetation types. The composition of each plant community is influenced by soil, topography, climate, and human activities. Plant communities consist of autotrophic and heterotrophic plant species that are interrelated and interact with biotic and abiotic environmental factors as part of a larger biogeocenosis system.

PLANT COMMUNITY

Plant community(or "phytocoenosis",


spelled also "phytocenosis", both rarely
used) is a collection of plant species
within a designated geographical unit,
which forms a relatively uniform patch,
distinguishable
from
neighboring
patches of different vegetation types.
The
components
of
each
plant
community are influenced by soil type,
topography,
climate
and
human
disturbance. In many cases there are

Plant Communitya group of autotrophic


and heterotrophic plants in a given location
that are mutually related to one another and
to other components of the biotic and
abiotic environment. A plant community is
an important part of a more complex system
the biogeocenosis. As a result of the vital
processes of autotrophic organisms, chiefly
green plants, a plant community stores solar
energy and, with the participation of all the
components of the biocenosis, transforms
the energy and carries out the biological
cycle. Plant communities usually consist of
many species belonging to different life
forms yet possessing mechanisms that
