From the text...'We are studying the response of the vegetation and small mammal communities to a prescribed burn to make training and land management recommendations to the military. Twenty study sites (63 acres each) in a creosote/tarbush habitat type were paired based on vegetational similarities, with each member of a pair assigned a treatment (burned or unburned). Vegetation height, canopy cover (%), yield, and density were measured prior to the burn. Small mammals also were presampled to determine density, species richness, and survivorship through the burn.'
