sparse trees
Thinly forested area
Trees that are widely spaced with significant gaps between them, as opposed to dense forest where canopies touch or overlap.
The phrase describes woodland where you can see through to the horizon or where grass grows between trunks: We hiked through sparse trees until we reached the open meadow.
The sparseness may result from climate, soil conditions, or human activity like logging.
