The shrub layer refers to the layer in a forest or other ecosystem composed of shrubs - woody plants that are shorter in height than trees, usually growing between the ground cover layer and the tree layer. Shrubs play a key role in providing habitat and food for wildlife, as well as contributing to overall biodiversity and ecosystem health.
