A concept in ecology. This is a dubious kind of stub created in 2014 by a now-blocked sockpuppeteer and not substantially improved since. I'm no specialist, but I get the impression that other articles such as Biome cover the concept better, making this a WP:CFORK. Really, a very basic concept in biology sourced to "Introduction to California Plant Life"? Sandstein 17:16, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Vegetation, where this is discussed with some sources. This is an obviously notable topic that plays a role in satellite observation, climate modeling and vegetation modeling. But the nom is right, this stub doesn't really discuss the the topic well and has poor sources. Until a better article is written, readers would be better served by the discussion of vegetation type in the Vegetation article. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 17:47, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect possibly to Vegetation classification which covers similar ground, although the other suggestions are also possible. Hzh (talk) 14:56, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect definitely, where to - multiple candidates; another sensible one would be Plant community. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 12:48, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
