Also, another thing that came to mind: Some shrubs can grow up to 6 m (20 ft) tall so they would at least provide some protection for other plants and could maybe replace trees to some extent.
Probably something, but most would not. If the shrubs, plants and fungi had some other shelter from erosion/wind/rain (Rocks, mountains, hills etc.), that area would probably be more diverse. If you look at a clear cut area in the forest today, you will notice plants like moss, shrubs (like blueberry and lingonberry) and maybe just a few species of flower. You won't of course find any plants there that need habitats such as old forests etc. (My experience is with forests in northern Europe, in case that makes any difference.)
