English term or phrase: shrub-like community
Similarly, the extent of the cork oak forests has been reduced to 3,500 km2 in Morocco. Holly oak forests have never been inventoried due to their intense degradation and low forestry interest. Nonetheless, most of the original cover has been converted into agricultural land. Degraded shrub-like communities dominate elsewhere as a result of intense overgrazing and fire management on pasture land, intense pruning and uprooting for firewood collection, and tannin production
