Abstract: 7 figures. ["Community patterns exist at multiple scales; they are controlled by mirror images of time-space environmental patterns and are also reflected in species physiological response patterns. These physiological patterns can also contain a time component. The concept of the substitution of a species vector with an environmental vector underlines both the dimensionality of plant associations and the concept of complete species adaptedness." Most of the sample data presented is from lichens.]
