Geologists call karst areas like this bare karst because of the lack of vegetation. ... The bare karst has no rivers and no trees, but the flora is often very interesting. In most cases the bare karst is an artificial landscape, created by men. When the area gets riverless because of the low ground water table, a natural vegetation of forest is able to keep the former state. But as soon as this difficile situation is disturbed by men, an irreversible process starts which leads to the bare karst situation. 1, record 4, English, - open%20karst

The smallest plant category by size is ground cover. The term "ground cover" is used to describe any low or spreading plant material that reaches a maximum height of 6 (15 cm) to 12 in (30 cm). Ground cover is found with a variety of characteristics, from flowering to nonflowering and from woody to herbaceous. Examples of ground cover include English ivy (Hedera helix), myrtle (Vinca minor), pachysandra (Pachysandra terminalis), and common ice plant (Carpobrotus edulis). Ground cover can be thought of as the vegetative "rug" or floor material of an outdoor space .... 3, record 5, English, - ground%20cover
