Peet and David W. Roberts records that document similar plant composition and physiognomy with the vegetation classification relying on representative field records (plots) to define the central concept of the type. Subsequent observations of vegetation are determined as belonging to a unit through their similarity to the type records for the individual communities. Another challenge that increasingly confronts the vegetation classification enterprise is that with the widespread adoption of classification systems for inventory, monitoring, management and even legal status, classification systems need to have comprehensive coverage, stability in the classification units and a transparent process for revising those units.

The literature on European vegetation is so enormous that summarizing it has proven extremely difficult. Community types have been synthesized for quite a few countries and other geographic units, but these efforts have not yet been 32 Robert K. Peet and David W. Roberts integrated. In 1992 The European Vegetation Survey was established with the goal of fostering collaboration and synthesis (Mucina et al. 1993; Rodwell et al. 1995). One direct result has been a number of trans-national overviews of thematic types and a summary of types at the alliance level and above by Rodwell et al.
