This term is primarily used in ecological and botanical contexts in both the USA and Brazil. In North American conservation and prairie restoration projects, the forb layer is considered essential for ecosystem health and biodiversity. In Brazil, this terminology is used mainly in academic and scientific contexts related to cerrado and campo ecosystems. The concept emphasizes the importance of non-woody herbaceous plants in maintaining ecological balance.
