Abstract: Fire created and maintains grassland ecosystems around the world, with the pattern and processes in these systems maintained by fire driven grazing – an ecological process called pyric herbivory. Pyric herbivory creates a patchwork of habitat types across space and time at local, regional, and continental scales, with each patch in a different state of post fire and grazing recovery. This diverse and shifting mosaic of habitat is what native wildlife in grassland ecosystems evolved with, and most wildlife species in these systems depend on more than one type of habitat to complete their life cycles.

The effects of fire on livestock fencing is a concern following wildfires, as well as before applying prescribed fire. There are many opinions and beliefs about what fire does to fencing materials. This fact sheet will present findings from several studies that investigated the impacts of fire on fencing materials in grasslands.

An efficient method for estimating dormant season grass biomass in tallgrass prairie from ultra-high spatial resolution aerial imaging produced with small unmanned aircraft systems.
Every year, wildfires
burn across the U.S.,
and more and more
people are living where
wildfires are a real
risk. But by working
together, residents
can make their own
property — and their
neighborhood — much
safer from wildfire.
The attached publication is about stopping wildfires and protecting your property.
The following publication has a guide how to protect your home and resources from wildland fires.
In the document attached, liability, risk and laws as they relate to prescribed burning as well as guidance on how risk can be minimized are all defined.
This video covers: Humanity’s fire practices are creating the fire equivalent of an ice age. Our shift from burning living landscapes to burning lithic ones is affecting all aspects of Earth.
