### aggregation | vegetation:

Heavy vegetation
* combined with a damp climate can adversely affect InSAR measurements.
* grows around and over cold streams dotted with slick rocks.

Lush vegetation
* contrasts with the soil of volcanic origin of craters and geysers.
* exists in a region of little rain.

### aggregation | vegetation:

Native vegetation
* Most native vegetation provides food.
* can aid in protecting water quality
  - also protect dams from winds
* combination of forested and herbaceous wetland.
* competes well with weeds and other pests.
* consists mainly of short, mid, and tall grasses.
* consists of bunch and short grasses with hardwood trees in the stream bottomlands
  - mesquite and grasses in deep, fine, sandy loams
  - tall and mid grasses with a small percentage of hardwood trees
* dries out forcing insects into irrigated fields.
* includes forest areas, mainly composed of elm and hackberry.
* is bunchgrasses, forbs, and shrubs.
* is deciduous forest, marsh grasses, and sedges
  - forest, with oak, hickory, and maple as dominant species
* is grasses, including indiangrass and species of andropogons
  - sedges, and reeds
  - hydrophitic grasses, reeds, and sedges
  - hydrophytic vegetation including grasses, sedges, and widely spaced trees
* is mainly grass, forbs, and some shrubs
  - willows, sedges, and water-tolerant plants
  - marsh grasses, reeds, sedges, and water-tolerant trees
  - prairie grasses tolerant of wetness
  - water tolerant grasses and sedges
* long-term landscaping investment.
* mixture of prairie grasses and trees
  - tall prairie grasses and deciduous trees
* provides a number of ecological, economic, cultural and social benefits
  - some grazing during years having favorable moisture
  - the best nest cover and feeding sites for breeding birds
* requires less water, pesticides, and fertilizer to maintain.
* stabilizes steep slopes, and prevents soil erosion and mud slides.
* varies according to amount of water available.
* wet site plant community of the tall grass prairie.
* wet-site community of the tall grass prairie.

### aggregation | vegetation:

Natural vegetation
* Most natural vegetation provides food.
* Most natural vegetation surrounds habitats
  - wildlife habitats
* appears in green tones.
* grows lush and thick in Cambodia.
* is affected by fire exclusion and mining of ground water for irrigation
  - confined mostly to the summits of hills, where elfin woodlands occur
  - hardwood forest, consisting mainly of sugar maple, oak, and hickory
  - hydrophytic grasses, reeds, and sedges
  - therefore, only seasonal
* plays an important role in erosion control.
* provides berries, seeds and insects
  - nuts, fruits, pollen, and nectar for birds, mammals, and insects
* remains the legal fuel for outdoor burning.
* surrounding any wildlife habitat reduces the risk of danger by human contact.

Riparian vegetation
* can also provide forage for wildlife and livestock.
* consists of willow, alder, aspen, birch and spruce.
* exists along the river banks and in the washes.
* is extremely important because of the many functions it serves.
* represents a transition zone between the stream and the land.
* requires water in amounts greater than that which falls as precipitation.
* shades the soil, lowers wind currents, and reduces soil compaction.

Shoreline vegetation
* absorbs the force of waves and currents, protecting against erosion.
* decreases the force of wave action and reduces erosion in tidal areas.

Submergent vegetation
* consists of pondweeds in deep water and water milfoil in the shallow water.
* includes pondweeds, water milfoil, and duckweed.

Thicket
* also harbour pest animals such as foxes and rabbits.
* are impenetrable to humans and have persistent spiny litter.
* is vegetation
