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.

Effects of seasonal fire, bison grazing and climatic variation on tallgrass prairie vegetation

We used univariate and multivariate techniques to evaluate vegetation-environment relationships for plant functional groups on a tallgrass prairie site in northern Oklahoma, USA burned seasonally and grazed by bison (Bison bison L.). The objective of...

Botanical composition of bison diets on tallgrass prairie in Oklahoma

Diets of bison (Bison bison L.) were examined using microhistological fecal analysis in a 2-yr study on a tallgrass prairie site in northcentral Oklahoma. Graminoids comprised at least 98% of the diet across all seasons. Bison showed strong feeding...

Alteration of bison and black-tailed prairie dog grazing interaction by prescribed burning

Bison (Bison bison) use of a black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) colony was compared before and after a prescribed burn on adjacent, uncolonized grassland at Wind Cave National Park (WCNP), South Dakota, 1979-80. On a daily basis cow-calf...

A cross-taxonomic comparison of insect responses to grassland management and land-use legacies

Many species of plants and animals associated with grasslands are rare or declining due to habitat loss and degradation. Although grassland plants and insects evolved in the context of both grazing and fire, the appropriate use of grazing and fire has...

Diversity and species composition of West African ungulate assemblages: effects of fire, climate and soil

Aim: Anthropogenic fires are a major component of the ecology of rangelands throughout the world. To assess the effects of these fires on the diversity patterns of herbivores, we related gradients in fire occurrence, climate and soil fertility to...

Aboveground macroinvertebrate diversity and abundance in sand sagebrush prairie managed with the use of pyric herbivory

Through pyric herbivory (i.e., fire-induced grazing patterns), native grasslands were historically a spatially heterogeneous environment. It is hypothesized that the mosaic of habitats created by pyric herbivory supports a more diverse invertebrate...

Invertebrate community response to a shifting mosaic of habitat

Grazing management has focused largely on promoting vegetation homogeneity through uniform distribution of grazing to minimize area in a pasture that is either heavily disturbed or undisturbed. An alternative management model that couples grazing and...

Northern dry mixed prairie response to summer wildfire and drought

In August 1994, wildfire burned 6,500 ha of native Dry Mixed Prairie in southeastern Alberta. The following year, a study was initiated to monitor the recovery of major plant communities. Burning was followed by 3 successive years of drought, reducing...

Restoring heterogeneity on rangelands: ecosystem management based on evolutionary grazing patterns

[from the text] Rangelands are the most common form of terrain in both the United States (where it accounts for 61% of all land surface) and the world (70% of all land surface). Rangelands consist primarily of native plant communities managed,...

Application of the fire-grazing interaction to restore a shifting mosaic on tallgrass prairie

1. Management of rangelands has long operated under the paradigm of minimizing spatially discrete disturbances, often under the objective of reducing inherent heterogeneity within managed ecosystems. Management of grazing animals has focused on uniform...
