Males establish territories in patches with greater coverage by standing dead vegetation, lesser coverage by woody vegetation, and taller live grasses. It is hypothesized that the primary ultimate cause for this proximate selection is the depressing effect of standing dead vegetation on aboveground grass productivity which results in a more open substrate for this ground-dwelling species</p>1 aZimmerman, J.L.  uhttp://knz.lternet.edu/content/breeding-season-habitat-selection-henslows-sparrow-ammodramus-henslowii-kansas
