- Phytotope
Phytotope is the total
habitat available for colonisation within any certainecotope orbiotope by plants and fungi. The community of plants and fungi so established constitutes thephytocoenosis of that ecotope.All these words (ecotope, biotope, phytotope and others) describe environmental niches at very small scales of consideration. A suburban garden or village park or wilderness ravine would each be deserving of the label.
