摘要: ABSTRACT We examined response of small mammals to woody invasion tallgrass prairie in northeastern Kansas by sampling sites that ranged from 0 100% cover (i.e., frequently burned unburned closed-canopy gallery forest; coverage mapped satellite imagery). Abundance and biomass initially increased with increasing vegetation, but then decreased their lowest level at cover. Richness was greatest (an average seven species) where ≤17% one species 100%. white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) as 62% cover, forested (100% cover). western harvest (Reithrodontomys megalotis) increased; they were not recorded sites. Deer (P. maniculatus) present no low levels absent moderate high leve...
