*creation of synoptic tables
*determination of diagnostic species according to their fidelity
*calculation ofEllenberg indicator values for relevés, various indices of alpha andbeta diversity
*classification of relevés using TWINSPAN or cluster analysis
*expert system for vegetation classification based onCOCKTAIL method etc.External links
