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.

The influence of fire and grazing on tallgrass prairie streams and herptofuana

Tallgrass prairie evolved with fire-grazer interactions. Fire and grazing are vital processes for maintaining grasslands and cattle production, and therefore will be continued as land management schemes. The effects of fire and grazers on prairie...

Spatiotemporal variation in vegetation structure resulting from pyric-herbivory

Pyric-herbivory is a process that is widely assumed to create greater habitat heterogeneity in grasslands at the land- scape scale than could be achieved by either fire or grazing alone. Yet, few studies have actually quantified the effects of pyric-...

Pyric-herbivory and cattle performance in grassland ecosystems

Achieving economically optimum livestock production on rangelands can conflict with conservation strategies that require lower stocking rate to maintain wildlife habitat. Combining the spatial and temporal interaction of fire and grazing (pyric-...

Inconsistent outcomes of heterogeneity-based management underscore importance of matching evaluation to conservation objectives

Conservation policy often incentivizes managers of human-impacted areas to create landscape heterogeneity to maximize biodiversity. In rangeland, patchy disturbance regimes create landscape heterogeneity (patch contrast), but outcomes of heterogeneity-...

Preliminary evidence that patch burn-grazing creates spatially heterogeneous habitat structure in old-field grassland

Heterogeneity created through patchy disturbance is an important component of grassland conservation, but little research has focused on patch burn-grazing in grassland of the eastern United States. To test the viability of patch burn-grazing in a Tall...

White-tailed deer distribution in response to patch burning on rangeland

Management of rangelands has changed substantially over the past few decades; today there is greater emphasis on wildlife management and increased interest in using natural disturbances such as fire to manage rangeland plant and animal communities. To...

Winter bird habitat use in a heterogeneous tallgrass prairie

In the Flint Hills of Kansas and Oklahoma, U.S.A., grazing land is managed predominantly to promote homogeneous grassland structure. This potentially limits the diversity of habitats for grassland obligate songbirds with narrow habitat preferences...

Untangling the effects of fire, grazing, and land-use legacies on grassland butterfly communities

Many grassland ecosystems are disturbance-dependent, having evolved under the pressures of fire and grazing. Restoring these disturbances can be controversial, particularly when valued resources are thought to be disturbance-sensitive. We tested the...

Effects of grassland management practices on ant functional groups in central North America

Tallgrass prairies of central North America have experienced disturbances including fire and grazing for millennia. Little is known about the effects of these disturbances on prairie ants, even though ants are thought to play major roles in ecosystem...

Impact of alternative range management systems on grasslands in the central Platte River Valley, Nebraska

Land management strategies can directly and indirectly affect plant assemblages and their behavior. Little research has been performed in south central Nebraska to quantify the effect of fire and grazing interactions on species composition, vegetation...
