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 patchburn grazing on vegetative composition of tallgrass prairie remnants in Missouri

Patch-burn grazing is a grassland management approach that recouples the processes of fire and grazing altering animal distribution and creating structural heterogeneity for the benefit of flora and fauna biodiversity. Our objective was to investigate...

Effects of patch burning on livestock performance and wildlife habitat on Oklahoma rangelands

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...

Vegetation pattern and response in the context of heterogeneous pasture management in southeastern Nebraska

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...

Survival of grasshopper sparrows (Ammodramus savannarum) during two important life stages in grassland managed with fire and grazing

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...

Broad-scale heterogeneity influences nest selection by brown-headed cowbirds

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...

Species richness, fire spread, and structural heterogeneity in tallgrass prairie

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 effects of ecological management on Tallgrass prairie butterflies and their nectar sources

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 bird response to a fire-grazing interaction in a fragmented landscape

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...

Effects of patch mosaic burning on tick burden on cattle, tick survival, and tick abundance

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...

Response of invertebrates to habitat management for heterogeneity in a tallgrass prairie

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...
