dense vegetation
Impenetrable green growth
Dense vegetation is plant growth so thick and closely spaced that it's difficult to see or move through.
The phrase describes areas where trees, shrubs, and undergrowth crowd together: The trail disappeared into dense vegetation.
Common in nature writing, environmental reports, and survival contexts where impenetrable greenery presents an obstacle.
