Description:Excerpt from Phytologia, Vol. 3: Designed to Expedite Botanical Publication; September, 1948 Vegetation, popularly referred to as the plant carpet of the world, has been the source of folklore, legend, and com mon knowledge ever since man first distinguished between for est and grassland. The scientific study of this vegetation, however, is of very recent date, and cannot yet be regarded as organized into a distinct and independent branch of science. The dichotomous division of botany into the study of flora and ve etation, respectively, was formulated only a century ago by Thurmann who thus called attention to the vage tational aspects of general plant geography. Subsequently, several schools of plant sociology developed in continental Europe. In England, the recognition of vegetation as a field of study is now well accepted by the plant scientists, as ex pressed by Tansley and Chipp and others. In North Amer ica, although botanical descriptions of the vegetation date from at least 1899 (cowles, a clearcut delineation of the differences between flora and vegetation remained umax pressed, perhaps until as late as 1914 (harper Even then, the differences between these concepts went almost un heeded in the welter of research designed to prove the as sumptious and postulates of an environmental determinism. In the opinion of the author, the resulting science of ecology has done more perhaps to erase than to demarcate the distinct ions between flora and vegetation. Whether or not this eras ure is desirable will be decided more by future developments than by present attitudes. Since the middle l930's, modern forestry, range management, wildlife management, soil conserv ation, and watershed management have come into existence. As applied sciences, they have recognized the need for accurate, detailed, and practicable inventories of regional vegetation, and are developing new techniques and methods of their own. The vegetation science of the future may point to its diverse origins from these many fields of study. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
