Shrub land AND ITS FEATURES
1. Shrub land
โข Shrublandย is aย subpart in forest vegetation ,mainly ย characterized ย byย shrubs,
often also including grasses,ย herbs, andย geophytes.
โข The term "shrub land" was first coined in 1903

2. What is a shrub?
โข A shrub is a small woody plant, usually with multiple
stems that start close to the ground.ย
โข Some species may take a shrub form when growing
in exposed conditions, but develop into a small tree
in moist sheltered situations.
3. Where are Shrublands Found
โข These shrublands exist as a result of human activitiesโthrough
mowing, tree cutting, or abandonment of agricultural fields.
โข Naturally-occurring shrublands also exist on the landscape.
โข ย These natural shrublands may remain open for thirty or more
years, but in the absence of additional natural disturbance, these
too will revert to forest.
4. Declines in Shrubland Habitat
โข Over the past 100 years, there has been a dramatic decrease in
the amount of shrublandย .
โข Land-use change, human development, fewer large beaver
impoundments, and fire suppression have led to a decline in
many wildlife species that depend on shrublands.
โข Twenty-two of species prominent in these areas show sharp
decline in population.
