Current Titles in Wildland Fire, May 2012 Probably Contributing to increased Mortality of Large Trees. Tree Abundance and Composition in the Subalpine Has Not Changed in the Direction Predicted by Vegetation Models Linked to Future Climate Scenarios. Our results Underline the Fundamental Role that Moisture Balance Plays in Structuring Mediterranean-zone Montane Forests. Future Shifts in Vegetation Composition and Structure from These Regions Are Likely to Depend on Interactions Between Water Balance and Disturbance Factors Like Fire, Insects and Disease.

Driscoll, Annabel L. Smith, Samantha Blight and John Maindonald Title: Reptile Responses to Fire and the Risk of Post-disturbance Sampling Bias Source: Biodiversity and Conservation, Online Version, March, 2012 Year: 2012 Keywords: Wildlife Reptiles Ecology Abstract: Altered Fire Regimes Are A Driver of Biodiversity Decline. To Plan Effective Management, We Need to Know How Species Are Influenced by Fire and to Develop theory Describing Fire Responses. Animal Responses to Fire Are Usually Measured Using Methods that Rely on Animal Activity, but Animal Activity May Vary With Time since Fire, Potentially Biasing Results. Using A Novel Approach for Detecting Bias in the Pit-fall Trap Method, We Found that Leaf-litter Dependent Reptiles Were More active Up to 6 Weeks After Fire, Giving A Misleading Impression of Abundance. This Effect Was Not Discovered When Modelling Detectability With Zero-inflated binomial Models. Two Species Without Detection Bias Showed Early-successional Responses to Time Since Fire, Consistent With A Habitat-accommodation Succession model. However, A Habitat Specialist Did Not Have the 20
Current Titles in Wildland Fire, May 2012 Predicted Low Abundance After Fire Due to Increased Post-fire Movement and Non-linear Recovery of A Key habitat Component. Interactions Between Fire and Other Processes Therefore Must Be Better Understood to Predict Reptile Responses to Changing Fire-regimes. We conclude that There is Substantial Bias When Trapping Reptiles After Fire, With Species that Are Otherwise Hard to Detect Appearing to Be Abundant. Studies that use A Survey Method Based on Animal Activity Such as Bird Calls or Animal Movements, Likely Face A Similar Risk of Bias When Comparing Recently-disturbed With Control Sites.

Title: Protecting Old Trees From Prescribed Burning Source: Nau Ecological Restoration Institute Working Paper 24, 8 Pages Year: 2011 Keywords: Old-growth, Prescribed Burns, Ponderosa Pine (pinus Ponderosa), Fire History, Grand Canyon, Fire Scars Abstract: Although Now Relatively Rare Due to High-grade Logging Throughout the Intermountain West, Old Trees and Old-growth Stands Still Exist in the Region's frequent-fire Forested Landscapes (srep 2000, Kaufmann and Others 2007). These Old Trees and Oldgrowth Stands Help Sustain the Ponderosa Pine Ecosystem in terms of Structure, Processes, Composition, and Food-chain Interactions at A Variety of Scales. Older Trees Are Also Important Because They Have Survived centuries of Environmental and Biotic Fluctuations, and Their Seeds and Pollen May Make Critical Contributions to Genetic Diversity (kolanoski 2002, Ncssf 2008).
