		The scrubland is more known because, except the fact that it covers more important territories, she(it) represents the essence of this country with her(its) nice-smelling spaces where from gets free a multitude of subtle flavors scattered by the wind.
		The scrubland and the undergrowth are vegetable formings(trainings) which result both of the degradation of the Mediterranean forest, mostly by fire or surpâturage.
		The scrubland is a more or less opened vegetable forming(training), consisted largely of shrubs, shrubs and sub-shrubs, resulting from the regression of the Mediterranean forest, mostly by fire or surpâturage, on generally not acid ground.

	Scrubland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These scrublands are characterized by plants with adaptations to the dry climate, which include small leaves to limit water loss, thorns to protect them from grazing animals, succulent leaves or stems, storage organs to store water, and long taproots to reach groundwater.
		Scrublands are most common near the seacoast, and have often adapted to the wind and salt air of the ocean.
		Northern coastal scrub and coastal sage scrub occur along the California coast, strandveld in the Western Cape of South Africa, coastal matorral in the central Chile, and sand-heath and kwongan in Southwest Australia.

	San Diego Zoo's Animal Bytes: Scrubland
		Scrublands are areas that are dry and hot during the summer, but saved from becoming desert by cool, moist winters.
		Scrublands go by many names: chaparral in California, mallee in Australia, fynbos in South Africa, and mattoral in Chile.
		An exception is in the scrubland forest of Australia, where the eucalyptus trees can be quite tall.

	:: Environmental Program: The Last Noah's Ark ::
		Scrubland is a vegetal formation characteristic from Brazilian Northeast which covers more than 70% of its area.
		In the winter, scrubland vegetation become dried up, because plants lose their leaves for eliminating the evaporation surface when water is absent.
		The small number of rivers and lakes in the scrubland region are temporary, being dry in almost all the year.

		Scrubland intrusion is one reason why there has been a further slight decline in butterflies since 1990.
		This is a species that benefits from slight scrubland intrusion, but disappears if the ground becomes overgrown with grasses.
		The intrusion of scrubland is mainly a consequence of the increase in the supply of nutrients via air deposition.

		in the protected area there are different environments: the scrubland, the “ sabana con palma blanca”, the swamps, and small lakes.
		The scrubland is conformed by different trees, such as the “quebracho colorado chaqueño”, the “espina corona”, the “guayacán”, the “lapacho”, the “algarrobo”, the “guayaibí” and the “quebracho blanco”.
		In the scrubland adjacent zones inhabits the chaqueña aquatic turtle.

		The xeric scrubland of Paraguaná develops on flat lands, with landscape on hills and the piedmont.
		The xeric scrublands of Paraguaná are distributed in two states in northwest Venezuela, which based on the country’s political division are Lara and Falcón.

		Limited scrublands outside the Sonoran Desert bio-geographic region are found in lower elevations in the southeastern and west-central parts of the state.
		The scrubland did not evolve with large ungulates such as cattle, and, as a consequence, is not adapted to this type of disturbance (Martin 1963).
		The scrubland ecosystem, because it is extensive and not as structurally diverse as forests and riparian areas, is considered a low form of ecosystem and therefore one for which the public has little concern.

	European rabbit
		European rabbits that live in the Mediterranean scrubland have burrow entrances consisting of tree roots and the rabbits in the pastureland of the Donana National Park where the burrows were in a sandy area.
		However, in open habitats, rabbits are more susceptible to dangerous environmental conditions such as flooding, which would explain why the Mediterranean scrubland rabbits would want to build their warrens in scrubland vegetation near tree roots (Palomares, 2003).
		The main predators of the scrubland rabbit are raptors.

		The design was completed in 1998 and construction on the course began in late winter 2000.
		Some pockets of scrubland were left within the golf course and these were preserved as much as possible within the confines of the routing that produced the best quality golf course.
		The approach to designing the course was to take a long-term view that eventually it would reintroduce, via naturalization, scrubland areas between the holes to tie in with the surrounding hillsides.

		The initial dataset was divided into 56 sampling plots to build the model and 30 sampling plots (15 with rabbits and 15 without rabbits) for cross-validation.
		Measured habitat variables were % cover of tall scrubland, % cover of rocks, and interspersion (an index measuring the amount of intermixture of forage and shelter patches).
		Plots on which wild rabbits were present had a mean 10+3.4%(SE) percentage of rocks, 16.3+3.8% percentage of tall scrubland and an interspersion index of 0.9+0.09 (vs 1.3+0.7, 2.7+1.5 and 0.4+0.05 for “absence” plots, P < 0.05).

		Citation: Cable, W.L., Scott, R.L., Emmerich, W.E. Partitioning of evapotranspiration in a semiarid chihuahuan desert scrubland [abstract].
		Interpretive Summary: In general the coupled response of bare soil evaporation and plant transpiration following precipitation pulses is not well understood in desert ecosystems.
		Our data suggest that the partitioning of precipitation inputs in these ecosystems is very dynamic and an important component that would be missed by simply measuring whole ecosystem evapotranspiration alone.

		Even Singapore's pristine repositories of flora and fauna, the nature reserves, which have so far been spared the flames, will be at risk if the dryness persists, he warned.
		In the scrublands, wild orchids, such as the delicate purple Spathoglottis plicata, have been burnt to a crisp, and slow-moving ground animals, such as the Malayan Box Terrapin, have stood little chance against the flames, he said.
		If the dry weather persists, a fire engulfing Singapore's rainforest areas cannot be ruled out because of the presence of dryer and relatively open habitats such as scrubland along their edges, he said.
