perhaps I should define some terms:
brush = stands of shrubs, usually continuous -
Parkland = "oak-grassland", i.e. trees separated by
- no continuous canopy cover - area
under & between-trees is grass.
mature parkland - grassy areas dominated by large
oaks - usually of rounded form.
woodland - dioecious trees (not conifers) in
stands where the canopy cover is
nearly continuous. - if trees are
far apart there may be some
elements of brush as an understory.
I should have representative photographs of
every type - physiognomy of vegetation
