'''Short woody plants''' is a [[general cover]] category consisting of short woody canopy cover of greater than 25 percent, while with [[tall woody plants]] the canopy cover is less than 25 percent. Short woody plants are less than 4 meters (about 13 feet) tall and often multi-stemmed, e.g., shrubs and seedlings. The distinction between tall (>4m) and short (<4m) is made according to current conditions, not potential.
