Spelling

In HK, we usually use "shrubland" (rather than scrubland)to describle woody vegetation without clear trunk.

One more pt, ecologically, a secondary woodland is different from a feng shui wood, in terms of species composition. So, better to separate them.

Question: whether "Plantation" includes brisbane box and paper bark tree etc. They are currently listed in separate columns.

Thanks for Captain’s comments.
Referring to the question, yes, “plantation” includes Brisbane box and paper-bark tree. I want to emphasis the tree species of the “plantation” and as the subcategories of “plantation”.
