Word origin

The concept of plant communities has been central to the field of ecology for centuries. Early ecologists, such as Frederic Clements, developed the idea that plants in a given area form a community with distinct characteristics. This concept has evolved over time with new research and understanding of how plants interact with each other and their environment.
