Ungulate preference for burned patches reveals strength of fire-grazing interaction
(Wiley Open Access, 2011-08-12)
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 ...
Temporal variability in aboveground plant biomass decreases as spatial variability increases
(Ecological Society of America, 2016)
Ecological theory predicts that diversity decreases variability in ecosystem function. We predict that, at the landscape scale, spatial variability created by a mosaic of contrasting patches that differ in time since ...
Spatial heterogeneity increases diversity and stability in grassland bird communities
(Ecological Society of America, 2015)
Grasslands are inherently dynamic in space and time, evolving with frequent disturbance from fire and herbivores. As a consequence of human actions, many remaining grasslands have become homogenous, which has led to reduced ...
Rising Great Plains fire campaign: Citizens' response to woody plant encroachment
(Ecological Society of America, 2013)
Despite years of accumulating scientific evidence that fire is critical for maintaining the structure and function of grassland ecosystems in the US Great Plains, fire has not been restored as a fundamental grassland process ...
