Includes shrub nurseries and plantations for biomass production. Excludes tree nurseries and plantations of Christmas trees (T42).
[None of the habitats within group V5 could be formally defined in the expert system because some shrub plantations cannot be distinguished from spontaneously developed shrubland habitats based on the vegetation-plot data, whereas in other shrub plantations, only the herbaceous vegetation between the rows of planted shrubs is usually sampled in vegetation plots.]
