Gróðurkort af Íslandi (yfirlitskort) sýnir einfaldaða samantekt á ríkjandi gróðursamfélögum. [The vegetation map of Iceland shows the predominant vegetation groups in simplified terms.]
Þar sem land hefur nokkuð samfellda gróðurhulu er sýnt hvers eðlis ríkjandi gróðursamfélög eru. Hálfgróið eða minna gróið land flokkast eftir landgerð. Gróðurþekja bersvæðisgróðrar (fitjuflokkur 501) miðast við 50% eða minna. Flákalag, flokkuð eftir ÍST120:2012 staðlinum.
