This article gives an overview of the woodland and scrub communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. ==Introduction== The woodland and scrub communities of the NVC were described in Volume 1 of British Plant Communities, first published in 1991. In total, 25 woodland/scrub communities have been identified, consisting of 19 woodland communities, four communities classed as scrub and 2 as underscrub. The woodland communities consist of: * Six mixed deciduous or oak/birch woodland communities, which between them are found throughout Britain * Three Beech woodland communities, found mainly in southern England * A Yew woodland community, almost completely restricted to southeast England (community W13) * A Scots Pine woodland community, restricted to Scotland * A Juniper woodland community (community W19) * Seven wet woodland communities, characterised by the presence of alder, birch and willows (communities W1, W2, W3, W4, W5, W6 and W7). * Communities of arctic-alpine willows The scrub communities consist of: * Communities consisting of shrubs such as hawthorn, blackthorn and elder * Gorse and broom scrub The underscrub communities consist of bramble and bracken underscrub. A further scrub community, SD18, dominated by Sea Buckthorn, is classified among the sand-dune communities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Woodland and scrub communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
