In Finnish ecology the term describes the composition, abundance and spatial arrangement of vascular plants, and may, depending on scope, include bryophytes and lichens. Kasvilajistoa is a key aspect of biodiversity and a common indicator of habitat quality.
It is characterized by species richness and the relative abundance of species, as well as by the
Studying kasvilajistoa involves field surveys with quadrats or transects to record species presence and cover, supported
Knowledge of kasvilajistoa informs ecological research on community dynamics and ecosystem services such as habitat provision
In Finland, kasvilajistoa varies across biomes such as boreal forests, mires and coastal meadows, with regional
