National Vegetation Classification System

The National Vegetation Classification (NVC) System is a method used to categorize and describe different types of natural and semi-natural plant communities in a consistent way. It helps ecologists, land managers, and conservationists identify, map, and understand various habitats by grouping plant communities based on their species compositions and characteristics. This system provides a common language for studying and managing landscapes, aiding in biodiversity conservation and land-use planning. Essentially, it creates a detailed, organized way to recognize and record the variety of plant communities found in a given region.
