The purpose of the NVC is to provide a complete, standardized
listing and description of all vegetation types that represent the
variation in biological diversity at the community level and to
identify those communities that require protection. The NVC focuses
on existing vegetation rather than potential natural vegetation,
climax vegetation, or physical habitats. Because it is not
restricted to static vegetation types, classification units are
useful both for inventory, site description, and as the basis for
building dynamic ecological models. The NVC also includes
vegetation along the natural-invasive-cultural (semi-natural and
modified) continuum, but it emphasizes natural communities as the
focus of biodiversity protection.
