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 provides 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 images.
