Växtlighet refers to the plant life found in a specific area, encompassing all types of vegetation, including trees, shrubs, grasses, and flowers. It plays a crucial role in ecosystems by providing habitat, food, and oxygen, while also contributing to soil health and water retention. Different regions have distinct växtlighet based on climate, soil type, and other environmental factors. In Sweden, for example, the växtlighet varies from lush forests in the north, dominated by boreal forests, to deciduous forests in the south. This diversity supports various wildlife species and contributes to the overall ecological balance of the region.
