On this page you find our publications on phytosociological topics. They not only include methodological papers, but also classifications of smaller or larger units and overviews, phytosociological descriptions of species, as well as publications on vegetation complexes and vegetation databases.
Methods and history
In a number of papers and book chapters, we paid attention to the phytosociological method. In most cases it concerns reflections on the method as a part of more content-related papers, but in several cases we wrote about phytosociology as method in dedicated papers, book chapters, and blogs. We dare to say that phytosociology is a protocolled way of looking, being an instrument te learn closely and carefully. It opens a whole library of historical knowledge, and produces new knowledge to those who learned to observe. In our publications, we hope to highlight precisely this aspect in smaller or larger essays.
Classifications
We have contributed to the classification of the vegetation in the Netherlands in numerous articles and books. This has always centred on curiosity, the question of the realisation of the observed patterns. Although in phytosociology classification is often elevated to the ultimate goal (e.g. in N2000 mapping), classification only makes sense if it leads to understanding ('verstehen') of the vegetation. Only if it leads to understanding, phytosociology makes sense.
Apart from numerous smaller classifications, our expertise and skill is also evident in the large overviews, in which large datasets have been analysed, for example in the Revisie vegetatie van Nederland, the revision of the Dutch National Vegetation Classification.

Overviews and summaries
Sigmasociology and vegetation complexes
Vegetation complex research is an under-exposed part of phytosociology in the Netherlands, like in many other regions. It is also known as 'sigmasociology', after the Greek letter Ʃ, which is used in mathematics to denote summation. We have used the method to characterise the habitat of the saddleback grasshopper (Ephippiger diurnus) and compare complex (dune) mapping.

Databases and ecoinformatics
Only a side branch on the tree of plant sociology, but one to which we have occasionally contributed our bit, more recently especially with regard to data storage.
Papers
Phytosociological habitat descriptions of species
In most articles in which we report unexpected species finds (often involving rare species, or species occurring beyond their known range), we also include a phytosociological description of the vegetation in which these species occur. The list below is not complete, but includes most of our articles with such descriptions, both of vascular plants and lichens.
