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.

Recoupling fire and aspen recruitment after wolf reintroduction in Yellowstone National Park, USA

We report on the recent growth of upland aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) thickets in northwestern Yellowstone National Park, USA following wolf (Canis lupus L.) reintroduction in 1995. We compared aspen growth patterns in an area burned by the 1988...

Grazers, browsers, and fire influence the extent and spatial pattern of tree cover in the Serengeti

Vertebrate herbivores and fire are known to be important drivers of vegetation dynamics in African savannas. It is of particular importance to understand how changes in herbivore population density, especially of elephants, and fire frequency will...

Grazer movements: spatial and temporal responses to burning in a tall-grass African savanna

The consequences of burning on grazer distributions in the landscape were investigated in a savanna system in South Africa. Distribution and extent of fires can be highly variable within and between years, but how this influences patterns of grazing is...

Allometric scaling predicts preferences for burned patches in a guild of east African grazers

The high herbivore diversity in savanna systems has been attributed to the inherent spatial and temporal heterogeneity related to the quantity and quality of food resources. Allometric scaling predicts that smaller-bodied grazers rely on higher quality...

Fuel and fire characteristics in savanna-woodland of West Africa in relation to grazing and dominant grass type

Fuel characteristics, fire behaviour and temperature were studied in relation to grazing, dominant grass type and wind direction in West African savanna-woodland by lighting 32 prescribed early fires. Grazing significantly reduced the vegetation height...

Effects of targeted cattle grazing on fire behavior of cheatgrass-dominated rangeland in the northern Great Basin, USA

We evaluated the effectiveness of using targeted, or prescribed, cattle grazing to reduce the flame length and rate of spread of fires on cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum)-dominated rangeland in northern Nevada. Cattle removed 80-90% of B. tectorum biomass...

Interactions between fire, grazing, and climate change at Wind Cave National Park, SD

Projected changes in global climate have important ramifications for the future of national parks and other reserves set aside to conserve ecological uniqueness. We explored potential implications of climatic changes on lifeform distribution and growth...

Short-term response of gray wolves, Canis lupis, to wildfire in Northwestern Alaska

There is a paucity of data concerning the effects of wildfires on large carnivores. During summer 1988 a wildfire burned 845 km2 of taiga forest within the territory of two radiocollared Gray Wolf (Canis lupus) packs in northwest Alaska. We...
