Vegetation dynamics refers to the study of how plant communities change over time in response to various ecological factors, such as climate change, land use practices, or disturbances such as fire or grazing. Researchers in this field often use a combination of field surveys, remote sensing, and mathematical modeling to understand the patterns and processes driving shifts in vegetation composition, structure, and distribution. By studying vegetation dynamics, scientists can gain insights into how ecosystems respond to environmental change and develop strategies for sustainable land management and conservation.
