Shrubland
Shrubland,
scrubland,
scrub or
brush is a
plant community characterised 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 "shrubland" was first coined in 1903.
