The problem of the primary reduction of species in the analysis of general geobotanical tables and the elaboration of analytic programs
Keyword(s):
If one processes a huge amount of data when establishing the vegetation classification, it appears necessary to use the uniform algorithms of analysis. Such goals as distinguishing the reliable community types (associations or other syntaxa) involve the operational reduction of either the species list, or (more seldom) the sample plot set. This is especially useful for the analysis of multispecific communities of meadows, steppes, or another types of markedly continuous polydominant vegetation with «fuzzy» structure of the herb layer.
