Vegetation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the medical term, see
Vegetation (pathology).
Vegetation is a general term for the plant life of a region; 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. Perhaps the closest synonym is
plant community, but vegetation can, and often does, refer to a wider range of spatial scales than that term does, including scales as large as the global. Primeval redwood forests, coastal mangrove stands, sphagnum bogs, desert soil crusts, roadside weed patches, wheat fields, cultivated gardens and lawns; all are encompassed by the term vegetation.
