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.

Pyric-herbivory and cattle performance in grassland ecosystems

Achieving economically optimum livestock production on rangelands can conflict with conservation strategies that require lower stocking rate to maintain wildlife habitat. Combining the spatial and temporal interaction of fire and grazing (pyric-...

Inconsistent outcomes of heterogeneity-based management underscore importance of matching evaluation to conservation objectives

Conservation policy often incentivizes managers of human-impacted areas to create landscape heterogeneity to maximize biodiversity. In rangeland, patchy disturbance regimes create landscape heterogeneity (patch contrast), but outcomes of heterogeneity-...

Preliminary evidence that patch burn-grazing creates spatially heterogeneous habitat structure in old-field grassland

Heterogeneity created through patchy disturbance is an important component of grassland conservation, but little research has focused on patch burn-grazing in grassland of the eastern United States. To test the viability of patch burn-grazing in a Tall...

Habitat selection by elk before and after wolf reintroduction in Yellowstone National Park

Prey species are thought to select habitats to obtain necessary resources while also avoiding predation. We examined whether habitat selection by elk (Cervus elaphus) changed following the reintroduction of wolves (Canis lupus) into Yellowstone...

The effects of grazing, fire, nitrogen and water availability on nutritional quality of grass in semi-arid savanna, South Africa

The impacts of fire and grazing management on grass nutritional quality in semi-arid savannas may depend on inherent variation in rainfall and soil nutrient status. We examined the effects of grazing, fire, nitrogen addition, and watering treatments on...

White-tailed deer distribution in response to patch burning on rangeland

Management of rangelands has changed substantially over the past few decades; today there is greater emphasis on wildlife management and increased interest in using natural disturbances such as fire to manage rangeland plant and animal communities. To...

Interactive response of herbivores, soils and vegetation to annual burning in a South African savanna

Despite decades of research, the primary factors determining savanna structure remain elusive - a conundrum termed "the savanna problem." After 47 years of annual burning in Terminalia woodland and Acacia/Combretum savanna on sandy, granite-...

Spacing behavoir and habitat use of axis deer (Axis axis) in lowland Nepal

A total of 17 axis deer (Axis axis) (12 females, 5 males) were radio-instrumented in Bardia National Park in lowland Nepal, and 1921 locations of females and 605 locations of males were obtained during the 2-year study period. Both the annual home...

The effects of cutting and burning on grass quality and axis deer (Axis axis) use of grassland in lowland Nepal

Man-made grasslands dominated by Imperata cylindrica (L.) Beauv. in forested areas of lowland Nepal are commonly cut and/or burned annually. Changes in grass forage quality following different treatments of cutting and burning and axis deer (Axis axis...

The influence of man-made fires on large wild herbivores in Lake Burungi area in northern Tanzania

The effect of fire on the distribution of large wild herbivores during the late dry season was studied in northern Tanzania during October 1987. All species were attracted to burnt-over areas with 1-10 cm regrowth of grass. Recently burnt areas with no...
