Vegetation type, formerly called plant communities by California botanists, refers to members of a group or aspect of plants that are often found growing in an area together ((plant associates), or that share similar environmental conditions, characterized by the presence of one or more dominant species.[1]:112-3[2] They may be named for zones with those conditions, such as elevation ranges, soil types, temperature ranges, precipitation ranges, or for one or more of the dominant plants.[1]:119[2]
