Megaphorb

Megaphorb is an area with communities of tall, exuberant, perennial herbs.[1] The plant communities provide ground cover and often exist on the margins of wooded areas or forests or terrain that has recently been cleared.[2] This type of vegetation also occurs near disturbed areas such as adjacent to creeks or rivers. These plant communities are often found in mountainous areas.
