Transitory vegetation types: A case study from riverine forests

Connection between vegetation types of lowland forests, regarding of micro-relief, soil types and complex vegetation types (including soil properties and water availability) were analysed by GIS based on vegetation, topographical and forestry maps. Most important factors affecting vegetation are water availability (characterised by micro-relief) and genetical soil types. Complex site types including more characteristics give better results. Forestry data can be used with certain limitations.
