Shrubs The Shrub stratum describes shrubs in primary and secondary layers. Some shrub strata are draped with pine needle, which can influence fire behavior. In such cases, the "Is needle drape sufficient to affect fire behavior?" box is checked. Primary layer: Main shrub layer distinguished by height, form, species composition or any other user-defined characteristic. Secondary layer: Secondary user-defined vegetation layer.
