Numerical aanalysis of the timbered vegetation in Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, Australia, Capitol Territory, Australia
Ingwersen F. 1983. Numerical aanalysis of the timbered vegetation in Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, Australia, Capitol Territory, Australia. Vegetatio. 51(3):157-179
Three approaches to the description of eucalypt forest vegetation are described. Using presence/absence data (81 sites, 129 spp.) an agglomerative, hierarchical classification method based on information analysis produced ecologically meaningful groups. The vegetation communities of Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve are briefly described and related to the local climate and geology. Classification and direct gradient analysis emerged as the most valuable aids to mapping and the hierarchical nature of the first may allow systematic simplification at smaller scales.
