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.

Spatial heterogeneity stabilizes livestock productivity in a changing climate

Sustaining livestock agriculture is important for global food security. Livestock productivity, however, can fluctuate due to many environmental factors, including climate variability. Current predictions of continued warming, decreased precipitation,...

Influence of habitat heterogeneity on small mammals in the Central Platte River Valley, Nebraska

Although the loss of prairie is substantial across the extent of its historic range, large portions of native rangeland still remain throughout Nebraska. It is critical that resource managers and private landowners manage rangelands in a manner that...

Patch-burn grazing effects on cattle performance: research conducted in a working landscape

Patch-burn grazing is a range management strategy that might be able to simultaneously optimize livestock production objectives and wildlife habitat objectives. We compared patch-burn grazing to a traditional range management strategy in multiple...

Patch-burn management: Implications for conservation of avian communities in fire-dependent sagebrush ecosystems

Rangeland birds in the Southern High Plains, USA evolved within a context of fire and grazing (i.e., pyric herbivory), a disturbance regime that played a dominant role in shaping rangelands in this region but has been absent since the 1880s. A...

Making sense of a prairie butterfly paradox: the effects of grazing, time since fire, and sampling period on regal fritillary abundance

Although grasslands often require periodic disturbance to prevent woody plant invasion, some grassland-obligate butterfly species respond negatively to disturbance agents such as fire and grazing. We examined the effects of time since fire, grazing and...

An invasive cool-season grass complicates prescribed fire management in a native warm-season grassland

Invasive species challenge managers of natural areas. In many ecosystems, restoring and maintaining pre-historic disturbance regimes promotes native biodiversity and controls invasive plant species. We report challenges in applying patch-burn grazing...

Restoration of the fire-grazing interaction in Artemisia filifolia shrubland

1) Patterns of landscape heterogeneity are crucial to the maintenance of biodiversity in shrublands and grasslands, yet management practices in these ecosystems typically seek to homogenize landscapes. Furthermore, there is limited understanding of how...

Grasslands: preliminary effects of patch-burn grazing on a high-diversity prairie restoration

In this study, we investigated the effects of the patch-burn grazing system in restored prairie along the Central Platte River, near Grand Island, Nebraska. Specifically, we wanted to look at the grazing selection by cattle of various forb species and...

Controls over the strength and timing of fire-grazer interactions in a semi-arid rangeland

The degree to which large herbivores select and forage within recently burned areas is a key driver of vegetation heterogeneity in rangeland ecosystems. However, few studies have quantified the strength and timing of herbivore selection for burned...

Pyric herbivory: rewilding landscapes through the recoupling of fire and grazing

Our understanding of fire and grazing is largely based on small-scale experimental studies in which treatments are uniformly applied to experimental units that are considered homogenous. Any discussion of an interaction between fire and grazing is...
