Scrub plants tend to have extensive root systems close to the surface. [14] Flatwoods: Pine flatwoods are low, flat, sandy lands subject to fires during dry months, but that may flood for months due to seasonal rainfall. Pine needles contribute to nutrient-rich soil, so plant growth is often rapid, supporting cattle grazing. [14]
Sites with very poor soil tend to support rosemary scrubs (sometimes called "rosemary balds"), which rarely burn. The death of older rosemary bushes leaves open spots where new rosemary seedlings or sand pine seedlings may start growing. On sites with more productive soil, scrubs persist only if fires occur frequently enough (every 15 to 100 ...

Include taxa here that are endemic or have restricted distributions (e.g. only a few countries).

Carnivorous traps were naturally selected to allow these organisms to compensate for the nutrient deficiencies of their harsh environments and compensate for the reduced photosynthetic benefit.
