The Keystone Role of Bison in North American Tallgrass Prairie - Bison increase habitat heterogeneity and alter a broad array of plant, community, and ecosystem processes
39 Throughout the history of Great Plains grasslands, North American bison (Bos bison, also known as Bison bison; Jones et al. 1992) and other large herbivores were abundant and conspicuous components of the biota (Wedel 1961, Stebbins 1981). Many of the earliest herbivores, particularly those that were primarily browsers, are now extinct, but their consumption of woody vegetation is thought to...
متن کاملSeasonal Fires, Bison Grazing, and the Tallgrass Prairie Forb Arnoglossum plantagineum Raf
Fire and grazing can interact to affect the structure and composition of vegetation communities in a manner that may differ from the effects of fire or grazing that occurs in isolation of the other. In order to better understand the effects of a fire-grazing interaction at the level of an individual plant species, we studied the response of a perennial tallgrass prairie forb, Arnoglossum planta...
متن کاملDisturbance by Fire Frequency and Bison Grazing Modulate Grasshopper Assemblages in Tallgrass Prairie
Understanding determinants of local species diversity remains central to developing plans to preserve biodiversity. In the continental United States, climate, grazing by large mammals, fire, and topography are important ecosystem drivers that structure North American tallgrass prairie, with major impacts on plant community composition and vegetation structure. Frequency of fire and grazing by b...
متن کاملVariation in Grasshopper (Acrididae) Densities in Response to Fire Frequency and Bison Grazing in Tallgrass Prairie
While weather can contribute signiÞcantly to grasshopper population dynamics in North American grasslands, local environmental conditions resulting from land use practices may be equally important. In this study, signiÞcant differences in grasshopper density were detected among adjacent watersheds from Kansas Flint Hills tallgrass prairie that differed in Þre frequency and especially bison graz...
متن کاملConservation implications of native and introduced ungulates in a changing climate.
In many grasslands, grazing by large native or introduced ungulates drives ecosystem structure and function. The behavior of these animals is important as it directs the spatial effects of grazing. To the degree that temperature drives spatial components of foraging, understanding how changes in climate alter grazing behavior will provide guidance for the conservation of ecosystem goods and ser...
