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.

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...

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....

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,...

Rangeland and pasture improvements for southeastern North Dakota

Degraded pasture and rangelands are becoming increasingly present in southeastern North Dakota and throughout the Northern Great Plains. Problems associated with degraded pasture and rangelands include loss of biodiversity, increased invasive species,...

Restoring heterogeneity on the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve: applying the fire-grazing interaction model

The interaction of fire and grazing is an important ecological process in the Great Plains grasslands of North America. The fire-grazing interaction promotes a shifting mosaic of patches that support a diverse array of grassland flora and fauna. This...

Ungulate preference for burned patches reveals strength of fire-grazing interaction

The interactions between fire and grazing are widespread throughout fire-dependent landscapes. The utilization of burned areas by grazing animals establishes the fire-grazing interaction, but the preference for recently burned areas relative to other...

The role of herbivores in Great Plains conservation: comparative ecology of bison and cattle

The Great Plains of North America evolved with significant influence from bison (Bison bison), but is presently dominated by cattle (Bos taurus). While there are a variety of opinions concerning differences between these two species, there is a lack of...
