ABSTRACT
Methods of classifying vegetation are reviewed. Classification is aimed at portraying
either potential or existing vegetation. Potential vegetation is commonly mapped using
bioclimatic classification schemes following scholars such as Holdridge or Walter or
landscape classification schemes such as those of UNESCO and Ellenberg. Maps of
potential vegetation obtained from bioclimatic parameters can be used as predictors of
primary production. Existing vegetation is mapped by either a classification based on
physiognomy or on floristics. The physiognomic method pro~'ides a better estimate of
phytomass because it takes into account variations due to succession and habitat.
Bioclimatic and landscape classifications work equally well in temperate and tropical
zones when mapped at a small scale. Problems in large-scale mapping of the tropics
arise from the diversity of the species, different patterns of distribution, and lack of field
studies. The author suggests mapping the existing vegetation of the tropics by
combining satellite imagery with ancillary information from large-scale maps. Satellite
imagery can be used to monitor the rate of loss of tropical ecosystems by use of
successIve Imag
Answer: a) Fasciola : Liver fluke
Taenia : Tapeworm
b) Osteichthves : Cycloid scales
Chondrichthyes : Placoid scales
Explanation:
a) Fasciola is also known as Liver fluke, because it is infected in the liver of the mammals. Taenia is related to the tapeworm.
b) Cycloid scales are found in the Osteichthves and Placoid scales are found in the Chondrichthyes.
