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.

Grassland birds and habitat structure in sandhills prairie managed using cattle or bison plus fire

Grassland birds are known to respond to specific changes in habitat structure, such as plant height and density. However, the response of grassland bird Communities to management induced changes in the regional habitat mosaic are less well understood....

Season of grazing and stocking rate interactively affect fuel loads in Baikiaea plurijuga Harms woodland in northwestern Zimbabwe

Wildfire is a major disturbance in Baikiaea plurijuga Harms woodland savannas. We tested the hypothesis that the timing and intensity of herbivory influence fuel loads. We used three stocking rates namely light (three cows and four goats ha-1), medium...

Comparative use of burnt grassland by rare antelope species in a lowveld game ranch, South Africa

The habitat selection and grazing preferences of ungulates before and after management burning in savanna grassland was investigated at Madrid Game Ranch near Klaserie. the antelope species observed included roan antelope (Hippotragus equinus),...

Effects of fire on sward structure and grazing in western Serengeti, Tanzania

In Serengeti fire is used as a management tool to improve the forage quality for large herbivores. However, little is known of the effects of fire on grazing resources particularly sward structure, its influence on herbivore forage patch selection and...

Modelling wildlife-human relationships for social species with mixed-effects resource selection models

1 Resource selection functions (RSF) have contributed to the conservation of species negatively affected by human activities. Despite these applications, two assumptions frequent many studies: the assumption of independence among groups in social...

Effects of prescribed fire on nutrition of mountain sheep and mule deer during winter and spring

Prescribed burning elevated the concentration of protein and in vitro digestible organic matter (IVDOM) in winter diets of mountain sheep (Ovis canadensis) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) feeding in grassland and mountain shrub communities. We...

Responses of bighorn sheep and mule deer to fire and rain in the San Gabriel Mountains, California

We used retrospective analyses to evaluate relationships between fire history, precipitation, and productivity in bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus californicus) in southern California's San Gabriel...

Structural heterogeneity increases diversity of non-breeding grassland birds

Grassland birds have experienced greater population declines than any other guild of birds in North America, and yet we know little about habitat use and the affects of management during their non-breeding period on wintering grounds. The paucity of...

Effects of fire and grazing on grasshopper sparrow nest survival

Patch-burn grazing is a management framework designed to promote heterogeneity in grasslands, creating more diverse grassland structure to accommodate the habitat requirements of many grassland species, particularly grassland birds. Published studies...

Postfledging survival of grasshopper sparrows in grasslands managed with fire and grazing

More accurate estimates of survival after nestlings fledge are needed for population models to be parameterized and population dynamics to be understood during this vulnerable life stage. The period after fledging is the time when chicks learn to fly,...
