shrubwood
Low woody vegetation
Shrubwood is wood from shrubs rather than trees—smaller, often multiple-stemmed woody plants.
The term appears in forestry and land management contexts describing vegetation composition or fuel loads: The hillside was covered in dense shrubwood.
It can also refer to an area dominated by such growth, similar to brushland or scrubland.
