Description:
From Land Resources of Russia: Vegetation is the totality of vegetation communities and also accompanying groups of plants occurring in the various regions of the Earth. In contrast to flora, vegetation is characterized not only by the species composition, but by the abundance and the combination of species and of various life forms of plants, and by their spatial structure and dynamics. Vegetation is a most important component of the biosphere that is closely related with climate, hydrology, soils, relief, and animal life.
