This is a local summer resident in eastern Kansas, in understory of riparian timber and swampy woodland.
This is an uncommon summer resident in eastern Kansas, in understory of woodland and streamside timber.
Clip-quadrat studies confirmed this observation and showed the bluegrass understory to be especially heavy.
The higher basal cover provided by the Poa understory seemed to support a vole population larger than those that occurred in areas lacking the bluegrass.
Poa pratensis formed an understory over most of the area studied, especially on House Field, and attained local dominance in shaded spots on both fields.
Not until anunderstory of grasses was established did a population of voles appear on such areas.
They are much more numerous in woodlands that are fenced in with pastures heavily grazed by cattle or horses, with understory vegetation kept cropped back, and with more open ground and patches of sunlight.
As a result of trampling, browsing and grazing by livestock, understory vegetation of this area presented a different aspect from that in most other parts of the woodland.
The codominant shrubs in the understory of this zone are Amelanchier utahensis, Artemisia nova and Purshia tridentata.
Vegetation was pinyon-juniper woodland with anunderstory of mixed shrubs.
The brushy areas of oak and mixed shrub give way at the top of the slope to pinyon-juniper forest with an understory of Artemisia nova and Purshia tridentata.
A relatively pure understory of Poa fendleriana (muttongrass), is typical of such woodland on the middle parts of the mesas.
A small strip of the pinyon-juniper-muttongrass community with anunderstory of Artemisia nova and Purshia tridentata (bitterbrush) adjoins the above area to the east (Figs.
The highest population densities were in pinyon-juniper woodland having an understory of mixed shrubs.
One shows associations of dominant overstory and understory plants.

The northeastern corner of unit O is in pinyon-juniper woodland with an understory of Cercocarpos montanus.
Such animals usually were found in places having a heavy understory of sagebrush, or in disturbed places within the woodland.
This species was seen only in the understoryof primary forest.
This flycatcher seems to prefer the understory of the forest, where it was observed sitting on bare limbs and darting out after insects.
They generally spent most of their time sitting on branches of forest vines and bushes in the understory and were never observed in the upper story.
This babbler inhabits theunderstory of primary forest, and occasionally is seen in secondary forest scrub.
This bird of the understory in primary forest was seen in only one other situation, 12 miles north of Kalabakan it was feeding in a clearing near our camp.
This tree occurs throughout the woodland of the Reservation, having become established when the leaf canopy was more open, and the whole area was subject to grazing, with less development of the understory vegetation in the woodland.
Trees were small in this part of the woods, with a well developed understory thicket of coralberry and sumac.
Thickets of shrubs and saplings sprang up throughout the woodland, forming a dense understory layer beneath the discontinuous canopy of the relatively scattered mature trees.
An almost continuous canopy of foliage has developed, shading the understory and thinning it by killing shrubs and saplings.
Understory thickets sprang up throughout most of the woodland, and especially in edge situations.
Redbud and dogwood are in part complementary in distribution, each forming an understory in parts of the woodland where the leaf canopy of larger trees is not too dense.
Saplings of honey locust made up an important part of the understory vegetation on this slope.
