Explain briefly about plant associations?

Types of plants
Ground Covers
Low Shrubs
Medium Sized Shrubs
Trees

Ground Covers
Grass: The qualities of a ground surface can indicate its intended use ground
covers define yard, garden and lawn areas.
Types: Zoysia grass, Bermuda grass etc.
Low Shrubs
These provide a residential character helpful in defining yard, garden
and lawn areas and in developing shaded areas.
Types: Mini-Globe Honey Suckle, Alpine Currant
Mid Shrubs
Effective at making areas semi-private to private, depending upon
planting layout.
Types: Snow White Spirea, Golden Mockorange
Trees
Provide a residential character helpful in defining yard, garden and
lawn areas and in developing shaded sitting areas.
Suitable for shaded screening or background. For
screening or background medium to fast grown trees are used.
Types: Chestnut oak, Chinese chestnut etc.
What are the important components of an ecological profile of an
area?
Ecological Framework
Levels of generalization
Ecozone:
It defines the ecological mozaic of Canada on a sub-continental scale.
They represent an area of earths surface representative of large and much
generalized ecological units characterized by interactive and adjusting
abiotic and biotic factors. Canada is divided into 15 terrestrial ecozones.
Ecoprovince
A subdivision of an ecozone characterized by major assemblages of
structural or surface forms, faunal realms, and vegetation, hydrology, soil,
and macro climate. For example, the Newfoundland ecoprovice is one of size
ecoprovinces within the Boreal Shield Ecozone.

Ecoregion
A subdivision of an ecoprovince characterized by distinctive regional
ecological factors, including climate physiography, vegetation, soil, water
and fauna. For example, maritime Barrens ecoregion is one of the nine
ecoregions within the Newfoundland ecoprovince.
Ecodistrict
A subdivision of an ecoregion characterized by distinctive assemblages
of relief, landforms, geology, soil, vegetation, water bodies and fauna. For
example, the Jeddore Lake ecodistrict is one of five within the Maritime
Barrens ecoregion.

Illustrate with examples the relationship between images and data

pertaining to a site?
Site character and images
Group and individual identification with aspects of the site.
How the site is organized in people mind.
Meanings attached to the site, symbolic associations hopes, fears,
withes, preferences.
Correlation of data
Subdivisions of the site, areas of consistent structure, character and
problems.
Identification of key points, axes, areas best left undeveloped areas
where intensive development is possible.
Ongoing changes and those likely to occur without intervention.
Patterns of movement to be preserved.
Summary of significant problems and potentials including a summary
of the key positive and negative impacts of the disposal.

What are the cultural datas help that are required for a site
analysis?
