This book was released on 2009 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated effects of fire on vegetation and small mammals in a tallgrass blackland prairie remnant. At Leonhardt Prairie, vegetation and small mammals were monitored from February 2007 through May 2008 with a burn occurring Fall 2007. Pre-burn, dense litter and vegetative cover accommodated two dominant species, Baiomys taylori and Sigmodon hispidus, with a relative abundance (captures/100 trapnights) of 5.85 and 4.99, respectively. Post-burn, removal of vegetation led to an increase of Peromyscus maniculatus from a relative abundance of 0.12 pre-burn to 5.23 post-burn. Baiomys taylori and Sigmodon hispidus were not captured on burned sections for 7 months, though the unburned section maintained capture rates similar to pre-burn data. Shift in species composition has occurred from Baiomys taylori and Sigmodon hispidus to Peromyscus maniculatus, suggesting short-term fire response of small mammals in tallgrass prairies. This secondary successional cycle of 7 months suggests the prairie's natural fire frequency was high.

Book Synopsis Control of Invasive Species by : Marie Venner
Download or read book Control of Invasive Species written by Marie Venner and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2006 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 363: Control of Invasive Species explores the extent to which state departments of transportation are identifying actions that affect the spread of invasive species, preventing introduction, tracking status and locations of "invasives" in a timely and ongoing manner, controlling found populations, restoring invaded habitats, conducting research, and sharing lessons learned. The report documents successful practices and lessons learned. It also synthesizes the state of the practice in developing Integrated (Roadside) Vegetation Management, along with physical, chemical, biological, and cultural control mechanisms.
Book Synopsis Tallgrass Prairie Restoration in the Midwestern and Eastern United States by : Harold Gardner
Download or read book Tallgrass Prairie Restoration in the Midwestern and Eastern United States written by Harold Gardner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work advocates the restoration of the North American tallgrass prairie, which is rapidly disappearing. Historical descriptions of prairie aesthetics are outlined. As we are experiencing a worldwide mixing of plant species, prairie restoration is particularly important. Plants alien to North America do not readily support insect populations, including all animal species higher on the food chain. Prairie restoration methods are described for amateurs, academics, and land managers. Some of the techniques described are growing crops for seed production, times of seed gathering for specific species, facile seed processing for amateurs, land preparation, segregation of seed into its preference for habitat, and required seed treatment for germination. Over 200 species are described that comprise the predominant species found in tallgrass prairie nature preserves, as well as degraded prairies. Some additional plants of especial interest are also described. The appendix tabulates all likely species found on prairies regardless of their scarcity. Safe fire management of prairies is described in detail. Finally, methods of controlling aggressive alien weeds by herbicides are detailed.

Book Synopsis The Influence of Edges and Plant Diversity on Mammal-induced Mortality of Prairie Plants by : Anne M. Nickel

This book was released on 2002 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herbivory is an important process in plant communities because herbivores have the ability to affect plant abundance, productivity, composition, diversity, and succession. In the grassland ecosystem, the effects of small-mammal herbivores on the plant community are beginning to be understood, but there is little understanding about what factors may influence small-mammal herbivory patterns. This research investigated two factors, wooded edges and plant diversity, that may affect herbivory of native tallgrass prairie seedlings by the small-mammal Microtus pennsylvanicus (the meadow vole). The first study investigated the impact of wooded edges on meadow vole distributions in Iowa tallgrass prairie reconstructions, and their subsequent effect on native prairie vegetation. Voles were less abundant at the wooded edge, resulting in less herbivory on seedlings near the edge. These results indicate that the wooded edges of prairie reconstructions may be refuges for native seedling establishment. The second study investigated the relationship between plant diversity and meadow vole herbivory in native and reconstructed prairies. We found a negative relationship between diversity and herbivory, with decreased herbivory on seedlings as diversity increased. These results suggest that the foraging behavior of voles is not only influenced by diversity, but that diversity may be perpetuated via vole herbivory. In high-diversity prairies, herbivory per species is low, and plant diversity is maintained. However, herbivory per species is great in low-diversity prairies, resulting in the perpetuation, and perhaps accentuation, of low diversity. Together, these studies show that wooded edges and plant diversity have an effect on meadow vole herbivory patterns. Consequently, both of these factors have the potential to change the plant community by altering predation pressure on seedlings. Studying the way in which wooded edges and plant diversity influence vole herbivory has helped our understanding of how prairies function in fragmented ecosystems and how important plant diversity is to prairie ecosystems.
