It is broader than the term flora which refers to species composition. Perhaps the closest synonym is plant community, but vegetation can, and often does, refer to a wider range of spatial scales than that term does, including scales as large as the global. Primeval redwood forests, coastal mangrove stands, sphagnum bogs, desert soil crusts, roadside weed patches, wheat fields, cultivated gardens and lawns; all are encompassed by the term vegetation. The vegetation type is defined by characteristic dominant species, or a common aspect of the assemblage, such as an elevation range or environmental commonality.) The contemporary use of vegetation approximates that of ecologist Frederic Clements’ term earth cover, an expression still used by the Bureau of Land Management. ae lt 6 Goal Loaded @ @GoalLoaded - 8h 5 Min Training For A Hanging Belly A QO 3 th 197 QO 558 tht 123.5 & 8 The Big Pharaoh @TheBigPharaoh - Jul 28 +e This attempt by Egypt's main public banks to attract hard currency has one major problem: many are afraid to deposit hard currency in the banks lest they won't be able to withdraw the money latter.

For other uses, see Khaki (disambiguation) The color khaki (UK: /"kcrki/, US: /keeki/) is a light shade of tan with a slight yellowish tinge. Khaki has been used by many armies around the world for uniforms and equipment, particularly in arid or desert regions, where it provides camouflage relative to sandy or dusty terrain. It has been used as a color name in English since 1848 when it was first introduced as a military uniform. In Western fashion, it is a standard color for smart casual dress trousers for civilians, which are also aften called khakis. In British English and some other Commonwealth usage, khaki may also refer to a shade of green known as olive drab. SIs]
