This is for a vegetation map for a World Archaeological Conference. I know "matorral" refers to bushy areas, but is there a more felicitous way to put that on a map? Would it be called simply: brush? And "pastos" would be "grazing land," right? Or is there a term more accepted in the field?

The coastal lowlands are very diverse in plant and animal species. Due to the increase in rainfall and absence of frost, this vegetation is referred to as Matoral. Matoral blends at the coast with dune systems and rich mangrove estuaries making the coast of Sonora rich in natural resources as it meets the Sea of Cortez.
