Abstract
The background of the Nordic Vegetation Survey is outlined and the con cepts for this international collaboration project are reviewed. The p roject includes, so far, institutions in Denmark, Faeroes, Finland, No rway and Sweden. We are setting up a common basis for a vegetation dat abase, with a Nordic species list, exchange of data and joint revision s of important Nordic vegetation types. Progress in the Nordic Vegetat ion Survey is described and the future perspectives indicated.
