Shrub biome: A shrub biome, also known as scrubland, is a type of biome characterized by low-growing, dense vegetation such as shrubs, small trees, and grasses. Soil Nutrients: Soils in shrub biomes are typically nutrient poor and are often composed of sand, clay, or limestone. Adaptations: In order to survive in the harsh environment, the plants and animals in a shrub biome have adapted to these conditions by developing thick, waxy leaves or fur, and deep root systems.

Scrublands are the most fire-prone biome, and some species of plants have evolved to be resistant to fire. Scrublands are home to a variety of animals, such as quail, kangaroos, bobcats, and lizards. Scrublands are very important for providing important ecosystem services such as water filtration, nutrient cycling, and soil stabilisation.
