  1. Shrub swamp

    Image Blackwater River Canaan Valley Resort State Park.jpg thumb 320px right center The Blackwater River West Virginia Blackwater River passes through shrub swamp in Canaan Valley , West Virginia , USA. Shrub swamps , also called scrub swamps or buttonbush swamps , are a type of freshwater wetland ecosystem occurring in areas too wet to become hardwood swamp s true or forested swamps , but too dry or too shallow to become marsh es. They are often considered transitional mid successional between wet meadow s or fen s and conifer or hardwood swamps. By some classifications, shrub swamps must have at least 50 shrub cover and less than 20 tree cover. Other definitions specify large shrubs with small trees less than 35 feet in height. Creation of shrub swamps often follows a catastrophic event in a forested swamp flood, cutting, fire, or windstorm . Another route of development is via drained meadows and fens which progress to shrub swamps as a transitional state to forested swamps. Development As a wet meadow matures it begins to fill in with vegetation and as this decomposes the soil thickens creating high spots hummock s above the water. Shrubs and small trees begin to grow on these. Shrub swamp water comes from run off, streams and rivers and the water moves in and out of the swamp throughout the year. Consequently, they tend to be drier than wet meadows or forested swamps and permit water intolerant plant species to grow on the hummocks. Shrub swamps typically occur on organic soils, such as muck and shallow peat soil s. Common plants found in the shrub swamps of North America include alder s, willow s, elderberry and highbush blueberry .

  1. Prostrate shrub

    File Gastrolobium minus.jpg thumb right Gastrolobium minus , a prostrate shrub native to Western Australia , popular in horticulture A prostrate shrub is a woody plant , most of the branches of which lie upon or just under the ground, rather than being held erect as are the branches of most trees and shrubs. Prostration may occur because the supporting tissues in stems are not strong enough to support the weight of the plant, causing the plant to bend until it reaches the ground. Alternatively, it may occur because of a genetic disposition for branches to grow horizontally on or just under the ground for example, as a strategy to avoid overly strong sunlight. Finally, environmental factors such as strong winds laden with sand or salt may tend to prune away erect branches, thereby creating a prostrate habit in plants that may not be predisposed to prostration. Prostrate shrubs are used in horticulture as groundcover s and in hanging basket s, and to bind soils and prevent soil erosion erosion in remedial Landscape architecture landscaping . They are also important components of Garden design Rock garden rock gardens . The shrinking size of urban horticulture urban gardens has meant an increase in demand for and desirability of dwarf and prostrate forms of many garden plants. More recently, prostrate shrubs have received attention for their usefulness in planting green roof s and green wall s, where they can contribute to Environmental engineering environmental conservation .
