natural vegetation
Untamed plant growth
Natural vegetation refers to plant life that grows without human cultivation or intervention—the flora native to a region before agriculture or development altered it.
The term appears in geography and ecology: The natural vegetation of the Great Plains was tallgrass prairie.
It contrasts with crops, gardens, and introduced species.
