en espesura

Hello,
I am hoping that someone can help me with this phrase from a text on the impact that power plants may have on vegetation and flora.
"Agrupación de árboles o especies potencialmente arbóreas, en espesura con una fracción de cabida cubierta superior al 5% y uso netamente forestal."
Here is my translation:
"Group of trees or potentially arboreal species, dense with a coverage capacity greater than 5% and mainly of forestry use."
Can anyone point out the errors and possibly correct it. It appears in the text repetitivley and I would like to make sure that it is spot on.
Thanks in advance

"grater" is. of course "greater"

It seems as if we're dealing with desrciptions of fairly dense scrub, another possible is "coppice" although that implies intentional forestry planning.

clumped / in a clumped distribution
I'm not 100% sure this is your term but I think there's a strong chance it is
First a definition of "en espesura":
"Selección de árboles
[...]
Creciendo en espesura (en competencia, no aislados ni afectados por efecto borde)"
http://www.secforestales.org/web/images/Santander/ruizpeinad...
So it means not isolated and growing in competition, grouped, adjacent, perhaps touching.
It is basically contrasted with "aislados":
"Así, los árboles que crecen aislados tienen un factor de conicidad mucho más elevado que los que crecen en espesura."
http://books.google.es/books?id=Jn-sFcOqCzwC&pg=PA153&lpg=PA...
I am finding quite a lot of references to "clumped distribution" in forestry sources:
https://www.google.es/search?num=100&hl=es&biw=1024&bih=587&...
"We assessed the impact of trees on soil nutrients by examining (1) changes in soil nutrients under clumped and isolated (living and dead) trees"
