Wikipedia

  1. scrubland

    Shrubland, scrubland, scrub, brush, or bush is a plant community characterized by vegetation dominated by shrubs, often also including grasses, herbs, and geophytes. Shrubland may either occur naturally or be the result of human activity. It may be the mature vegetation type in a particular region and remain stable over time, or a transitional community that occurs temporarily as the result of a disturbance, such as fire. A stable state may be maintained by regular natural disturbance such as fire or browsing. Shrubland may be unsuitable for human habitation because of the danger of fire. The term was coined in 1903.Shrubland species generally show a wide range of adaptations to fire, such as heavy seed production, lignotubers, and fire-induced germination.

  1. scrubland

    Scrubland is a type of biome or natural habitat characterized by vegetation dominated by shrubs, including heaths, chaparral, and savannahs. The soil is typically arid or rocky, making it difficult for larger plant species like trees to flourish. This biome usually occurs in areas with a Mediterranean climate, but can be found in other areas with similar conditions. Scrubland is often adapted to withstand fire and drought, and enables a diversity of animal species.
