English term or phrase: understory
Definition from NC glossary of forestry terms:
The area below the forest canopy that comprises shrubs, snags and small tree. Because the understory receives little light, many of the plants at this level tolerate shade and will remain part of the understory. Others will grow and replace older trees that fall.

Example sentence(s):
  • The understory is a unique environment, involving more than just shade. Shade influences air temperature, humidity, soil temperature, soil moisture content, wind movement, and more. These factors impact plants. Agroforestry ejournal
  • Savanna trees influence water, light, and nutrient availability under their canopies, but the relative importance of these resources to understory plants is not well understood. CAT.INIST
  • Understory vegetation responded to thinning with increased percentage of cover and number of herbaceous species in thinned areas and in created gaps. US Forest Service

Sloj niskog rašća, grmlja i malih stabala

Ponekad ljude zbune manja stabla tzv. podstojne etaže, odnosno sloj grmlja.

Example sentence(s):
  • Površina obrasla populacijom hrasta medunca oštećena je oko 60 posto. Prizemni i podstojni slojššume je izgorio, a sloj drveća je nagorio. http://www.bum.vjesnik.hr/Pdf/2000%5C10%5C08%5C43A43.PDF. - Vjesnik online  
  • Priprema staništa za pomlađivanje. Stanište se priprema za pomlađivanje samo onda ako za to postojipotreba. Ponajprije je nužno ocijeniti stanje šumskoga tla i strukture sastojine, posebice je li razvijena podstojna etaža, kako je razvijen sloj grmlja, koliko ima i kakvoga podrasta. http://www.vuka.hr/uploads/media/Terenska_nastava_-_Jastrebarsko.pdf - Visoko Učilište Karlovac
