scrubland
Explanation:

Scrubland is plant community with scrub vegetation. "Scrub" means low shrubs, mixed with grasses, herbs, and geophytes. Scrublands are sometimes known as heathlands. Scrublands may develop naturally or as result of human activity. They may be the mature vegetation type in a particular region and remain stable over time, or a transitional community that occurs temporarily as the result of a disturbance, such as a major fire.

Larch trees? This is what actually puzzles me. The text is about the village of Łopuszna located in a mountainous region with streams, little rivers, etc, so butterburs will be there. Larch trees will also grow there naturally but I can't think or find any solid connection between the two species.
