Modified TypoCH reference list of diagnostic species for the classification of vegetation types in Switzerland

Description

The TypoCH scoring system (Eggenberg & Bornand 2023), which is widely used in Switzerland, provides good results as classification method for vegetation types based on Delarze et al. (2015). However, the reference list contained species with no diagnostic value and important character species were missing. We therefore made a first attempt to modify the list based on numerical methods and expert knowledge to improve the classification success, at least for vegetation types of the open land (i.e. grasslands, fens, bogs).
