Concept information
Preferred term
tropical scrub
Definition(s)
- On every continent except Antarctica, there are areas with dry or desert climates that receive enough rainfall to support shrubs as a dominant plant growth form. The land cover of these places consists of various types of shrublands or woodlands, which can be collectively known as “scrub.” Tropical scrub refers both to this climate zone as found in tropical and subtropical latitudes and also to the typical scrub vegetation type of those latitudes, characterized by dominance of multi-stemmed woody plants that are 1 to 5 m (meter) tall.
