| Value: | Description: | |
| class | the first level in the NVC hierarchy; based on the structure of the vegetation and determined by the relative percentage of cover and the height of the dominant, life forms (Grossman et al. 1998). | |
| subclass | ||
| group | the level in the classification hierarchy below subclass based on leaf characters and identified and named in conjunction with broadly defined macroclimatic types to provide a structural-geographic orientation (Grossman et al. 1998). | |
| subgroup | ||
| formation | a level in the NVC based on physiognomic grouping of vegetation units with broadly defined environmental and additional physiognomic factors in common. (FGDC 1997). Grossman et al. (1998) clarified this definition as “a level in the classification hierarchy below subgroup (see Figure 1) which represents vegetation types that share a definite physiognomy or structure within broadly defined environmental factors, relative landscape positions, or hydrologic regimes.” Both of these definitions derive from Whittaker 1962: a "community type defined by dominance of a given growth form in the uppermost stratum of the community, or by a combination of dominant growth forms." | |
| alliance | A grouping of associations with a characteristic physiognomy and habitat and which share one or more diagnostic species typically found in the uppermost or dominant stratum of the vegetation. (This definition includes both floristic and physiognomic criteria, in keeping with the integrated physiognomic-floristic hierarchy of the NVC. It is similar to the FGDC 1997 definition: a physiognomically uniform group of Associations sharing one or more diagnostic (dominant, differential, indicator, or character) species, which, as a rule, are found in the uppermost stratum of the vegetation.) | |
| association | A recurring plant community with a characteristic range in species composition, specific diagnostic species, and a defined range in habitat conditions and physiognomy or structure. | |

| Value: | Description: | |
| equal | the two concepts are exactly the same | |
| greater than | the concept referenced in table:Status fully contains the concepts referenced in table:Concept, but also includes additional entities. | |
| less than | the concept referenced in table:Status is fully included in the concept referenced in table:Concept, but the latter concept contains additional entities. | |
| not equal | the two concepts, are not exactly the same. This leaves the possibilties that the concepts are greater than, less than, overlapping, or disjunct. | |
| overlapping | the two concepts contain at least one common individual, and each concept also contains at least one individual that the other does not contain. Neither concept is fully contained in the other. | |
| disjunct | the two concepts in question contain no common individuals. | |
| undetermined | The party responsible for this correlation has not made a determination as to the correlation between the two entities referenced in table:Status and table:Concept. Some a correlation is likely to the degree that it was reasonable to create this record. For example, the names of the two statuses are the same, but the reference is different. Or, names have changed and a correlation is possible, but has not been thoroughly investigated (i.e. the name change could have also incurred a concept change). | |

| MTL descriptions | ||
| Value: | Description: | |
| High | The party making the community interpretation has a high confidence in the precision of this interpretation. That is, the person feels confident that the community and fit described would be agreed upon easily by others. A person can have high confidence that a plot has a fit of "absolutely wrong" for a particular community. | |
| Medium | The party making the community interpretation has a medium amount of confidence in the precision of this interpretation. That is, the person is unsure of whether or not the community and fit described would be agreed upon easily by others. | |
| Low | The party making the community interpretation has a low confidence in the precision of this interpretation. That is, the person doubts that the community and fit described would be agreed upon easily by others. | |
