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.

Impacts of patch-burn grazing on livestock and vegetation in the tallgrass prairie

Patch-burn grazing is a relatively new concept in terms of rangeland management. While numerous benefits have been associated with this system, in the tallgrass prairie of Kansas, cattle production and sustainability of rangeland are critical. In 2006...

Large-herbivore distribution and abundance: intra- and interspecific niche variation in the tropics

Determining the biological and environmental factors that limit the distribution and abundance of organisms is central to our understanding of the niche concept and crucial for predicting how species may respond to large-scale environmental change,...

Effects of fire and grazing driven heterogeneity on N cycling in tallgrass prairie

Current management objectives on privately owned rangelands in North American tallgrass prairie are largely centered around livestock production. Often a goal of ranchers on these rangelands is to maintain dominant forage species while reducing...

Fire creates host plant patches for monarch butterflies

Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) depend on the presence of host plants (Asclepias spp.) within their breeding range for reproduction. In the southern Great Plains, Asclepias viridis is a perennial that flowers in May and June, and starts to...

The effects of patch burn grazing on breeding grassland birds

Management practices help determine the value of prairie fragments for the conservation of birds. Patch burn grazing is a relatively new management technique that creates a series of burned and unburned patches of vegetation with grazing within a...

Nutritive value of Rio Grande do Sul/Brazil's native grasses, ranked according to functional typology under fire and grazing regimes

Aiming to determinate the nutritive value and functional types classification consistency, crude protein and in vitro digestibility analysis were performed in leaf blades of the most frequent native grasses, in central RS. Species were evaluated under...

Responses of heather moorland and Mediterranean mouflan foraging to prescribed-burning and cutting

We assessed the effects of prescribed burning and cutting on mouflon (Ovis gmelini musimon-Ovis sp.) spring habitat using an experimental design (17.28 ha) of 2 burned, 2 cut, and 2 untreated plots within a homogeneous stand dominated by heather (Erica...

Effects of patch-burn management on dickcissel nest success in a tallgrass prairie

Grassland birds have declined more than any other North American habitat-associated bird community. Because most species of grassland birds evolved within heterogeneous landscapes created by the interaction of fire and grazing, traditional rangeland...

A comparison of patch-burn grazing and continuous grazing in the northern tallgrass prairie

Patch-burn grazing systems have been recognized as a successful livestock management tool in the southern tallgrass prairie. Previous studies have found that livestock have similar weight gains on patch-burn grazing systems as they do in traditional,...

Prediction of the spatial distribution and relative abundance of ground-dwelling mammals using remote sensing imagery and simulation models

We present an approach that allows current, retrospective and future relative abundances of mammal species to be predicted across landscapes. A spatial generalized regression model of species relative abundance based on habitat quality and time since...
