Great Plains Fire Science Exchange Literature Searches

The Great Plains Fire Science Exchange (GPE) is partnering with FRAMES (Fire Research and Management Exchange System) to provide literature searches on topics such as patch burn-grazing and pyric herbivory. GPE is dedicated to the dissemination of fire science within the Great Plains region. Their main focus is on grasslands communities. The Patch burn-grazing: An Annotated Bibliography (GPE publication 2014-16) [PDF] summarizes many of the citations in these searches.

Selective control of rangeland grasshoppers with prescribed fire

Grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae) are considered among the most damaging rangeland pests, but are necessary for the survival of many wildlife species. Most grasshoppers species are innocuous, but control with insecticides is non-discriminatory among...

The interaction of fire and grazing in Oklahoma Artemisia filifolia shrubland

Question: Is Artemisia filifolia (Asteraceae) a fire-resilient shrub or is it similar to most other Artemisia shrub species in North American which are considered fire-sensitive? Location: Cooper Wildlife Management Area, Woodward County, Oklahoma, USA...

Fire: plant functional types and patch mosaic burning in fire-prone ecosystems

Shared fire-survival and fire-persistence traits are found in taxonomically unrelated plant species that commonly grow in fire-prone ecosystems. Such traits include resprouting, after fire has killed the above-ground biomass, and postfire seed release...

Forage nutritive quality in the Serengeti Ecosystem: the roles of fire and herbivory

Fire and herbivory are important determinants of nutrient availability in savanna ecosystems. Fire and herbivory effects on the nutritive quality of savanna vegetation can occur directly, independent of changes in the plant community, or indirectly,...

African grazing lawns - how fire, rainfall, and grazer numbers interact to affect grass community states

Grazing lawns are recognized as important components of many savanna ecosystems, but there is no clarity on their origin or their stability in space and time. Some researchers believe soil nutrients control grazing lawn distributions. Others believe...

Patch burning improves forage quality and creates grass-bank in old-field pasture: results of a demonstration trial

Ecosystem benefits of heterogeneity-based rangeland management have been widely documented, but little research has explored ecologically based grazing systems from the livestock perspective. Fire and grazing management can advance conservation goals...

Vegetation pattern and response in the context of heterogeneous pasture management in southeastern Nebraska

A 3-patch, spring-burn patch burn grazing system was compared to a grazing system in which pastures were burned in their entirety during the first of a three year study. At the treatment level, there were no detectable differences in measures of...

Pyric-herbivory to manage horn flies (Diptera: Muscidae) on cattle

Pyric-herbivory, defined as fire-driven grazing, was applied as patch-burn grazing management and compared to traditional management (grazing without fire) for the potential to mitigate horn flies, Haematobia irritans (L.), on cattle in Iowa and...

Temporal-spatial distribution of American bison (Bison bison) in a tallgrass prairie fire mosaic

Fire and bison (Bison bison) are thought to be historically responsible for shaping prairie vegetation in North America. Interactions between temporal-spatial distributions of bison and prescribed burning protocols are important in current restoration...

Nutrition of Stone's sheep on burned and unburned ranges

Populations of Stone's sheep (Ovis dalli stonei) with and without access to burned ranges were compared. Forage quality (crude protein and acid detergent fiber [ADF]) was similar on both range types throughout the year. Levels of fecal protein...
