1. heathland

   A heath () is a shrubland habitat found mainly on free-draining infertile, acidic soils and characterised by open, low-growing woody vegetation. Moorland is generally related to high-ground heaths with—especially in Great Britain—a cooler and damper climate. Heaths are widespread worldwide but are fast disappearing and considered a rare habitat in Europe. They form extensive and highly diverse communities across Australia in humid and sub-humid areas where fire regimes with recurring burning are required for the maintenance of the heathlands. Even more diverse though less widespread heath communities occur in Southern Africa. Extensive heath communities can also be found in the Texas chaparral, New Caledonia, central Chile, and along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. In addition to these extensive heath areas, the vegetation type is also found in scattered locations across all continents, except Antarctica.

1. heathland

   Heathland is a type of natural habitat characterized by open, low-growing woody vegetation, usually on poor acidic sandy or peaty soils. Plants commonly found in heathlands include heather, gorse, and various kinds of shrubs. These areas are typically found in parts of Europe, specifically in the UK, Scandinavia and the Netherlands, as well as places with temperate climates like Australia and North America. They are important for biodiversity and often house several species of reptiles, birds, insects and mammals.
