Abundance, this term is used to describe how much of a plant is present in each sample. Recorded on the scale above, species are arranged in tables according to their pattern of occurrence and are generally ordered according to decreasing frequency. Certain species will maintain a high frequency in all of the subcommunities but there can be considerable variation. The naming of subcommunities is determined by the abundance of preferential species not those necessarily the most frequently occurring in the vegetation type. 3, record 1, English, - preferential%20species
