It would be advantageous if a consistent hierarchy of vegetation units and map units was common to all scales. Then, inventory information at one level could be collated easily into information useful at another level, something often made impossible by confounding map unit boundaries or different definitions of the vegetation units. Numerical classification methods offer one way of avoiding the problems created by different mapping techniques and different map descriptors, particularly if agglomerative hierarchical procedures are used.

If a relatively small perturbation of the population results in it returning to the stable size, then the population is said to be 'locally stable'. If the population tends to this stable size from any given size, then this stable size is considered to be 'globally stable'. This concept is developed by May (1973), and some examples of both populations and mathematical analyses are given in Usher and Williamson (1974). Much the same property is being measured either in field assessments of fragility or in mathematical models of stability.
