Other Low Vegetation
This chapter deals with NMVOC emissions from all types of grasslands and other types of vegetation (natural, semi-natural and in some cases cultivated) which do not fit easily into the forest classification. This includes especially the Mediterranean maquis/garrique and other low scrub-type vegetati...
