Discussion on Celmentsian vs. Gleasonian viewpoint on communities

Celmentsian argument 

It deals with the study of vegetation. It can be noted that the organism is formed, then arise, then moved towards matureness and dies. The next thing is that each of the climaxes is able to reproduce by itself, and also it is one of the most important stages of development.

He has also stated that the main types of vegetation in any area is completely related to the climate condition. The climate is involved in controlling the vegetation process. On the other hand, the paper of Christopher is describing this idea in a perfect. The main idea of the Clements is that climate is the main driving force behind the growth of any kind of vegetable.

Gleasonian Argument

He has described the simplest view of plant growth. He completely disagreed with the concept of climate in the growth of plants. He has mentioned that there is a number of different factors that are affecting the growth of ecological succession. He was totally against the behavior of the climate. He said that he is not only the driving force behind the growth of any tree. This main point was described by Crawley. He said that not only the climate is responsible for the growth of the plants.

From both of these arguments that are discussed in the above section, it can be seen that the Gleasonian argument is more reasonable. The main reason is that he said that the climate is not only the factor behind the growth of the plant. There are also some other things that are playing a major role in its growth.

The work of john. T Curtis is totally related to the growth of plants and the major factors that are affecting it. Also, the plant communities are real (Alan Hastings, 2012).
