Quantitative vegetation ecology in Denmark

Abstract
This survey deals with quantitative vegetation ecology in Denmark since the pioneering period dominated by E. Warming, C. Raunkiær and Johs. Iversen. Main topics of this survey are quantitative vegetation description, mainly based on the classical work of Warming, vegetation classification and community ecology, conservation biology and management, vegetation history and palaeoecology, vegetation dynamics, forest ecology and phytogeography. It is concluded that few Danish studies have dealt with the development of models and theories and the application of multivariate statistics.
