| 沙巴拉群落灌木 | Chapparal shrub |
| 灌木 | shrub A woody perennial plant, smaller than a tree, with several major branches arising from near the base of the main stem (多年生长的草本植物，比树小，枝干是从树的靠根的主干长出来的) |
| 灌木地带 | maquis A low evergreen shrub formation, usually found on siliceous soils in the Mediterranean lands where winter rainfall and summer drought are the characteristic climate features. It consists of a profusion of aromatic species, such as lavender, myrtle, oleander and rosemary and often includes abundant spiny shrubs. It has been suggested that the maquis is a secondary vegetation, occupying the lands cleared of their natural evergreen oak forests by human activity (低矮常绿灌木的形成物，通常在有着冬季降水、夏季干旱气候特点地中海中的硅质土地上建立。包括丰富的诸如薰衣草、香桃木、夹竹桃和迷迭香的芳香物种，并且往往包含丰富的多刺灌木。有建议称灌木地带是次要的植被，居于被人类活动清楚地天然常绿栎林的地位。) |
| 灌木清理 | bush clearing The removal of brush using mechanical means, either by cutting manually or by using machinery for crushing, rolling, flailing, or chipping it, or by chemical means or a combination of these (使用机械方法清除灌木，或者用手工或者通过使用机械碾碎、滚压、挤压或切碎灌木，或者通过化学方法或者使用这些方法的组合。) |
| 矮灌木丛 | brushwood Woody vegetation including shrubs and scrub trees of non-commercial height and form, often seen in the initial stages of succession following a disturbance. Brush often grows in very dense thickets that are impenetrable to wild animals and serve to suppress the growth of more desirable crop trees. However, brush can also serve an important function as desirable habitat for a range or bird, animal, and invertebrate species, and often provides a good source of browse and cover for larger wildlife. It adds structural diversity within the forest and is important in riparian zones. It is also termed scrub (木本植被，包括非商业用的高度和形式的灌木丛和树木，多见于被干扰之后的初始阶段。灌木丛通常生长在茂密的树丛里，野生动物很难将其摧折，并且抑制其他树木生长。然而，灌木丛有一个重要的用途就是作为鸟类、动物和无脊椎动物物种的理想栖息地，而且经常可以给动物们作为草食，并且可以覆盖较大的野生动物。它增加了在森林结构的多样性，在沿岸地很重要。它也被称为矮树丛。) |
