Aapproach has been developed to (semi-) automatically generate integrated community unit from remote sense imagery and geographical information system. Each integrated community unit consists of three essential component, including: (1)Plant association division; (2)structured object representation; (3)patterns in communities determination. The approach has been successfully used for vegetation analysis in the Bange test area in Tibet.
