what are the four major categories of vegetation?

Scientists divide the Earth's land into what are called vegetation regions. These areas have distinct types of plants, soil, and weather patterns. Vegetation regions can be divided into five major types: forest, grassland, tundra, desert, and ice sheet.

Non-vascular plants include two quite different groups: The Bryophyta (mosses), the Marchantiophyta (liverworts), and the Anthocerotophyta (hornworts). Because these plants have no water-conducting tissues, they do not have the structural complexity and size of most vascular plants. Algae - especially the green algae.

There are two main categories of biomes. Terrestrial biomes are usually defined by the type of vegetation that is present. The major climatic factors contributing to the vegetation types in these biomes are temperature and precipitation. Aquatic biomes are defined by the type of water they contain.

Vascular Plants Characteristics Some 90 percent of all plants are in the vascular plant category. Trees, shrubs, flowers, grasses and vines are all vascular plants.

Climate and Vegetation. There are four different climates region including humid, tropical, savanna, desert, and steppe. Regions climate are zonal (meaning organized by zones. The northern most zone lies within the Sahara Desert.

Terrestrial vegetation is one of earth's most vital natural resources. Crops provide food, fiber, and fuel that sustain human life, while native vegetation preserves biodiversity, builds and protects soil, and plays a key role in the water cycle.

The different types of land are known as biomes. These are divided into four classifications: desert, forest, grassland and tundra. Land biomes are typically defined by the type of vegetation they possess, the types of animals that inhabit them and their climate, such as rainfall and temperature.

Living groups of nonvascular plants include the bryophytes: liverworts, hornworts, and mosses. Vascular plants are the more common plants like pines, ferns, corn, and oaks. The phylogenetic relationships within the plant kingdom are shown in Figure 1.

All types of ecosystems fall into one of two categories: terrestrial or aquatic. Terrestrial ecosystems are land-based, while aquatic are water-based. The major types of ecosystems are forests, grasslands, deserts, tundra, freshwater and marine.

There are three main types of grasslands—temperate grasslands, tropical grasslands (also known as savannas), and steppe grasslands.

Vascular plants include the clubmosses, horsetails, ferns, gymnosperms (including conifers) and angiosperms (flowering plants).
