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.

This research was conducted at two sites: a tallgrass prairie site in the central part of the state and a mixed-grass prairie site in the southwestern part of the state. The research was conducted in the earliest stages of implementation of patch burn...
A 3-patch, spring-burn patch burn grazing system was compared to a grazing system in which pastures were burned in their entirety during the first of a three year study. At the treatment level, there were no detectable differences in measures of...
Patch-burn grazing (PBG) is a management practice intended to benefit grassland-dependent wildlife. This practice relies on a fire-grazing interaction to create a habitat mosaic that is heterogeneous in terms of structure and composition, mimicking...
Increasing habitat heterogeneity is widely considered to improve conditions for biodiversity. Yet benefits for native species depend on scale and the effect of heterogeneity on key processes influencing survival and reproduction. We examined the...
This work addresses problems facing the ecological management of human-impacted grassland, specifically, the negative effects of invasive species and heavy grazing on biodiversity, and the barriers to restoring ecological processes, particularly fire,...
The primary goal of my dissertation research was to learn how disturbance-sensitive butterfly species can persist in disturbance-dependent prairie ecosystems. I conducted three studies, all at the same four tallgrass prairies in southwestern Missouri....
Grassland birds have experienced widespread population declines throughout the North American tallgrass prairie region, largely as a result of habitat loss and the homogenization of remaining fragments. Recent work in relatively extensive grasslands...
Patch mosaic burning (PMB) is a regimen that applies spatially discrete fires with different burning intervals. Along with focal grazing of ruminants, these disturbances create a shifting mosaic of vegetation. Variation in plant community structure and...
Invertebrates are an important dietary component of many grassland birds. Therefore, habitat manipulation aimed at bird conservation should account for changes of invertebrate mass. For 2 consecutive years, we compared the influence of patch-burning, a...

Shared fire-survival and fire-persistence traits are found in taxonomically unrelated plant species that commonly grow in fire-prone ecosystems. Such traits include resprouting, after fire has killed the above-ground biomass, and postfire seed release...
Fire and herbivory are important determinants of nutrient availability in savanna ecosystems. Fire and herbivory effects on the nutritive quality of savanna vegetation can occur directly, independent of changes in the plant community, or indirectly,...
Grazing lawns are recognized as important components of many savanna ecosystems, but there is no clarity on their origin or their stability in space and time. Some researchers believe soil nutrients control grazing lawn distributions. Others believe...
Populations of Stone's sheep (Ovis dalli stonei) with and without access to burned ranges were compared. Forage quality (crude protein and acid detergent fiber [ADF]) was similar on both range types throughout the year. Levels of fecal protein...
Prescribed burning and timber harvesting have been used to restore and maintain Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) ranges. Intensive study of a bighorn sheep herd in northeastern Utah indicated a need for range improvements. To evaluate the...
Utilisation of pasture in relation to time since burning occurred was assessed on a monthly basis for 16 months, for three species of macropodids and cattle. Utilisation by the eastern grey kangaroo, red-necked wallaby and cattle increased after...
The regeneration of plants post-fire has widely been shown to be attractive to vertebrate herbivores. However, there are few data relevant to the effect of fire size on herbivore densities. In dry eucalypt forest in one region and hummock sedgeland in...
The aim of the present study was to investigate the causes of increased macronutrient concentrations in above-ground post-fire regrowth in an East African savanna (Northern Tanzania). Experiments were set up to discriminate between the following...
Seasonality and management are factors that may affect the diet selection of the forest buffalo (Syncerus caffer nanus). Fire is considered a major driving force in savannah systems and prescribed burning is a commonly applied conservation tool in...

This online workshop will summarize the research findings from the Joint Fire Science Program grant: “Fighting Wildfire with Prescribed Burning in the Southern Great Plains: Social and Regulatory Barriers and Facilitators” led by project PI from Texas...
Objective: The overall objective of this study was to evaluate management practices that may impact stocker steer gains on a 90-day double stocking grazing system in tallgrass native range. Specific objectives include evaluating the timing of burning,...
The recent increase of wildfires in the southern Great Plains has illustrated a need for development and application of fuels (vegetation) management techniques in the region. Fuels management is crucial to fire suppression and fire fighter safety, as...
Range management is like being a trial lawyer: you need all the evidence you can get to help you make decisions how your management and production objectives may need to change. State-and-transition simulation models are a general tool that can be used...
Throughout Texas, prescribed burning is a popular grassland management tool you can use to manage invasive brush and rejuvenate native, perennial grasses. These burns, when conducted carefully, can be used to maintain and restore native grasslands,...
Dr. Morgan Treadwell, with the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, teaches ranchers about using prescribed burning, then uses drones to review burn footage and dissect the burn piece by piece.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of 4 consecutive years of prescribed fire applied to native tallgrass range in either April, August, or September on forage biomass production, soil cover, and basal plant cover. Study...
Altered fuels and climate change are transforming fire regimes in many of Earth's biomes. Postfire reassembly of vegetation - paramount to C storage and biodiversity conservation - frequently remains unpredictable and complicated by rapid global...
Restoration of historic fire regimes is complicated by concerns about exotic plant invasions, yet little is known of how the two may interact. Seeds of Japanese brome, spotted knapweed, Russian knapweed, and leafy spurge were subjected to fire at six...
