Despite the belief that fuels management, a form of prescribed fire that reduces accumulated fuels in commercially thinned forests, is necessary to restore forest 'health' in the Pacific Northwest, its effects on wildlife has received little attention in the scientific literature. Because fuels management is supported, funded, and implemented nationwide...

The effects of prescribed burning on small mammal communities in Lava Beds National Monument, California

Creator:

Frenzel, Richard Wilmarth

Abstract:

The effects of prescribed burning on the abundance, species composition, and reproduction of small mammals were studied over a one year period. Two burn areas were studied, one in sagebrush/ bunchgrass and one in cheatgrass. The short-term effects were studied using monthly mark-recapture trapping on two treatment and two control...

Anthropogenic land use alterations such as livestock grazing and fire suppression have greatly altered sagebrush grasslands of the Great Basin, facilitating invasion of exotic annuals, increases in woody species, and losses of native species. Much of the current research surrounding wildland and prescribed fire in sagebrush dominated ecosystems has focused...
