Natural Vegetation & Wildlife

Natural Vegetation

Vegetation is a very general term for the plant life; it refers to the ground cover provided by plants. It is a general term, without specific reference to particular taxa, life forms, structure, spatial extent, or any other specific botanical or geographic characteristics. It is broader than the term flora which refers exclusively to species composition.

Ecosystem

An ecosystem is a community of living organisms (plants, animals and

microbes) in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment (things like air, water and mineral soil), interacting as a

system.
