Download or read book Influence of Prescribed Fire on Reproductive Ecology of Female Eastern Wild Turkey Meleagris Gallopavo Silvestris in West central Louisiana written by Nathan Andrew Yeldell and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) inhabits fire-managed, pine-dominated ecosystems of the Southeastern United States. However, the influence of fire-induced disturbance on reproductive ecology of turkeys is poorly understood. Therefore, I investigated nest site selection, nest survival, habitat selection, and behavioral response to fire by female wild turkeys in a fire-managed pine ecosystem of Louisiana. Turkeys nested in forest stands with various fire histories, but nest survival was lowest where fire was absent for [greater than or equal to] 3 years. Turkeys selected hardwood stands and avoided recently burned pine stands during winter, but selected pines burned zero and one years prior during the reproductive period. Turkeys used recently burned areas, but use peaked at 103 days post-fire before declining. Turkeys were more likely to use burned areas near the perimeter, but use of interior space increased with time-since-fire. I recommend managers in southeastern pine forests apply fire at 3-year intervals and maintain habitat diversity through retention of hardwood stands.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) forests rely on frequent prescribed fire, but how prescribed fire influences habitat selection, and nest and brood survival of eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris; turkeys) is poorly understood. I captured 63 female turkeys during 2015-2016 and used GPS transmitters to document reproductive chronology, movement, and habitat selection during the reproductive period. I found that increased patch diversity increased nest survival, whereas proximity to stands burned 3 growing seasons prior reduced brood survival. Females selected hardwood stands during pre-nesting and post-nesting phases, open vegetation communities during all phases except pre-nesting, and used pine stands regardless of fire return interval throughout the reproductive period. I suggest managers focus on creating a mosaic of pine seral stages, intermixed with open and hardwood vegetation communities, while applying frequent prescribed fire (1-3 years) to create understory conditions selected by turkeys for foraging and concealment year-round.

Download or read book Introduction to Prescribed Fire in Southern Ecosystems written by Thomas A. Waldrop and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2018-03-29 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prescribed burning is an important tool throughout Southern forests, grasslands, and croplands. The need to control fire became evident to allow forests to regenerate. This manual is intended to help resource managers to plan and execute prescribed burns in Southern forests and grasslands. A new appreciation and interest has developed in recent years for using prescribed fire in grasslands, especially hardwood forests, and on steep mountain slopes. Proper planning and execution of prescribed fires are necessary to reduce detrimental effects, such as the impacts on air and downstream water quality.

Book excerpt: The loss and fragmentation of natural habitats is one of the major issues in wildlife management and conservation. Habitat "corridors" are sometimes proposed as an important element within a conservation strategy. Examples are given of corridors both as pathways and as habitats in their own right. Includes detailed reviews of principles relevant to the design and management of corridors, their place in regional approaches to conservation planning, and recommendations for research and management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global warming is expected to change fire regimes, likely increasing the severity and extent of wildfires in many ecosystems around the world. What will be the landscape-scale effects of these altered fire regimes? Within what theoretical contexts can we accurately assess these effects? We explore the possible effects of altered fire regimes on landscape patch dynamics, dominant species (tree, shrub, or herbaceous) and succession, sensitive and invasive plant and animal species and communities, and ecosystem function. Ultimately, we must consider the human dimension: what are the policy and management implications of increased fire disturbance, and what are the implications for human communities?
