The top layer of the understory is the sub-canopy composed of smaller mature trees, saplings, and suppressed juvenile canopy layer trees awaiting an opening in the canopy. Below the sub-canopy is the shrub layer, composed of low growing woody plants. Typically the lowest growing (and most diverse) layer is the ground cover or herbaceous layer.
Most of the world's moorlands are diverse ecosystems. In the extensive moorlands of the tropics, biodiversity can be extremely high. Moorland also bears a relationship to tundra (where the subsoil is permafrost or permanently frozen soil), [ 2 ] [ dubious – discuss ] appearing as the tundra and the natural tree zone.
The Iberian Peninsula is in the south west of Europe and located near North Africa, and as a result, saw the arrival from both regions of many types of plant species, including wetland thermophilic plant species (those that require a great deal of heat), xerophilic plants (those that require a dry climate), orophilic (sub-alpine) plants, boreo ...
