However, the procedures in mapping the actual vegetation types and especially mapping the potential natural vegetation types have received limited attention. Most vegetation mapping has been based upon species dominance or physiognomy. The purpose of the present paper is to describe the various procedural steps involved in systematic vegetation mapping according to the Braun-Blanquet's system of vegetation classification. The significance of vegetation mapping is illustrated for land use planning and resource management., Contributions from the Department of Vegetation Science, Institute of Environmental Science and Technology, Yokohama Natlonal University No.78.}, pages = {65--76}, title = {Process of Phytosociological Studies and Vegetation Mapping}, volume = {6}, year = {1980} }
