Shrubland, scrubland, scrub, brush, or bush is a plant community characterized by vegetation dominated by shrubs, often also including grasses, herbs, and geophytes ...
Scrubland of the Sierra Pelona Mountains, Southern California. Fire, both natural and human-caused, has played a large role in shaping the ecology of Mediterranean ecoregions. [4] The hot, dry summers make much of the region prone to fires, and lightning-caused fires occur with some frequency.
extent of tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands. Tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands is a terrestrial biome defined by the World Wide Fund for Nature. [1] The biome is dominated by grass and/or shrubs located in semi-arid to semi-humid climate regions of subtropical and tropical latitudes ...
Extent of temperate grasslands, savannas and shrublands. Temperate grasslands, savannas, and shrublands are terrestrial biomes defined by the World Wide Fund for Nature. [1] The predominant vegetation in these biomes consists of grass and/or shrubs. The climate is temperate and ranges from semi-arid to semi-humid. The habitat type differs from ...
The California chaparral and woodlands is a terrestrial ecoregion of southwestern Oregon, northern, central, and southern California (United States) and northwestern Baja California (), located on the west coast of North America.
The Galápagos Islands xeric scrub, also known as the Galápagos Islands scrubland mosaic, [2] is a terrestrial deserts and xeric shrublands ecoregion that covers the Galápagos Islands. The Galápagos Islands are volcanic in origin, and remote from continents and other islands.
Montane grasslands and shrublands are a biome defined by the World Wildlife Fund. [1] The biome includes high elevation grasslands and shrublands around the world. The term "montane" in the name of the biome refers to "high elevation", rather than the ecological term that denotes the region below the treeline .
Shrublands are the predominant vegetation. The shrublands vary in height and species composition based on underlying soils. The area is very species-rich; more than half of the c. 7500 vascular plants found in Iberia occur in the Murcian-Almerian bioprovince, which overlaps the ecoregion. [3]
