The Effects of Prescribed Fires in Different Seasons on Small Mammals in a Sierra Nevada Mixed Conifer Forest

Book Description
"Prescribed fire is an important management practice used to restore natural fire regimes in Sierra Nevada mixed conifer forests where fire has been suppressed over the last century. It is not well known, however, how the timing of prescribed fire affects wildlife species. I compared the effects of prescribed fires during the early season (spring and early summer) with those during the late season (late summer and fall) on small mammal populations using model selection and inference methods. ... Lodgepole chipmunk (Neotamias speciosus) movements differed between years, but there was no effect of prescribed fires on their movements (Chapter 1). Deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus) movements differed between age groups within years. Prescribed fire treatments did not affect deer mouse movements, except when only adult female deer mouse movements were analyzed. Year effects were more important than fire effects on lodgepole chipmunk densities, total small mammal biomass, deer mouse densities, and deer mouse age ratios (Chapter 2). Prescribed burning had a positive effect on deer mouse pregnancy ratios, and there was only limited support for an effect of year on these ratios. There was essentially no support for different effects of fire depending on the season of fire on total small mammal biomass and deer mouse densities, and only limited support for these effects on lodgepole chipmunk densities, deer mouse age ratios, and deer mouse pregnancy ratios. The prescribed fire treatments differentially impacted small mammal habitat components depending on the season of the fire (Chapter 3). However, there were few significant relationships between these habitat components and deer mouse densities, lodgepole chipmunk densities or small mammal species richness. Overall, year effects often had the greatest influence on the small mammal populations examined, and there were few strong differences between the effects of early season fires and late season fires on these populations."--Abstract.

Book Description
ABSTRACT: Although prescribed burning is an important management tool for ecosystem restoration in Cedar Key Scrub State Reserve, this is the first study that analyzes the effect of prescribed burning on plants and small mammals. In addition, this is the first research carried out on plant community response to prescribed fire in coastal scrub on the west side of Florida, and the 12th study about the effects of prescribed burning on small mammals in Florida. The main objectives were to determine: (a) if there were structural and compositional changes in the plant community after prescribed burning, (b) if small mammals used wetlands as temporal refugia after prescribed fire; and (c) if prescribed burning had a negative effect on the survival of the small mammal species.

The Effects of Prescribed Burning on Small Mammal Communities in Lava Beds National Monument, California

Book Description
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 areas totaling 9600 trap nights, with 1208 individuals captured 3650 times. The effects of the fires after a one year period were studied by continuous 15 day removal trapping at two burn and two control areas prior to burning and one year later. Removal trapping totaled 30, 000 trap nights with 3994 individuals captured. Results indicated that the number of individuals actually killed in the fires was insignificant. In general, the fires had no major effects on the small mammal communities in terms of species abundance, age and sex ratios, weights and reproductive condition.
