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.

This study determined if there were structural and compositional changes in coastal scrubby flatwoods after prescribed fire, if small mammals used wetlands as temporal refugia after fire, and if prescribed burning had a negative effect on the survival of the small mammal species in Cedar Key Scrub State Reserve, Florida, USA. The experimental design consisted of two treatment and two control sites that were sampled before and after burning during three years. Mice were marked to monitor movements between scrubs and wetlands. Woody species had structural and compositional changes during the first three months postburn, but there were more compositional than structural changes after that. In treatment sites, mice were captured mainly in the scrub (75%) before burning, they used the vegetation surrounding wetlands as refugia for 11 months after burning, and they returned to the scrub after that. In control sites, mice were captured mainly in the scrub (91%). Fire did not have a negative effect on the survival of mice species. These results will provide guidance in prescribed burning plans to park and land managers, and fire ecologists to maintain viable populations of small mammals.

Fires affect animals mainly through effects on their habitat. Fire regimes-that is, patterns of fire occurrence, size, uniformity, and severity-have been a major force shaping landscape patterns and influencing productivity throughout North America for thousands of years. Faunal communities have evolved in the context of particular fire regimes and show patterns of response to fire itself and to the changes in vegetation composition and structure that follow fire. Animals' immediate responses to fire are influenced by fire season, intensity, severity, rate of spread, uniformity, and size. Responses may include injury, mortality, immigration, or emigration. Animals with limited mobility, such as young, are more vulnerable to injury and mortality than mature animals. The habitat changes caused by fire influence faunal populations and communities much more profoundly than fire itself. Fires often cause a short-term increase in productivity, availability, or nutrient content of forage and browse. These changes can contribute to substantial increases in herbivore populations, but potential increases are moderated by animals' ability to thrive in the altered, often simplified, structure of the postfire environment. Fires generally favor raptors by reducing hiding cover and exposing prey. Small carnivores respond to fire effects on small mammal populations (either positive or negative). Large carnivores and omnivores are opportunistic species with large home ranges. Their populations change little in response to fire, but they tend to thrive in areas where their preferred prey is most plentiful-often in recent burns. In forests and woodlands, understory fires generally alter habitat structure less than mixed severity and stand-replacement fires, and their effects on animal populations are correspondingly less dramatic. Stand-replacing fires reduce habitat quality for species that require dense cover and improve it for species that prefer open sites. Many animal-fire studies depict a reorganization of animal communities in response to fire, with increases in some species accompanied by decreases in others. Like fire effects on populations, fire effects on communities are related to the amount of structural change in vegetation.

This study investigated effects of fire on vegetation and small mammals in a tallgrass blackland prairie remnant. At Leonhardt Prairie, vegetation and small mammals were monitored from February 2007 through May 2008 with a burn occurring Fall 2007. Pre-burn, dense litter and vegetative cover accommodated two dominant species, Baiomys taylori and Sigmodon hispidus, with a relative abundance (captures/100 trapnights) of 5.85 and 4.99, respectively. Post-burn, removal of vegetation led to an increase of Peromyscus maniculatus from a relative abundance of 0.12 pre-burn to 5.23 post-burn. Baiomys taylori and Sigmodon hispidus were not captured on burned sections for 7 months, though the unburned section maintained capture rates similar to pre-burn data. Shift in species composition has occurred from Baiomys taylori and Sigmodon hispidus to Peromyscus maniculatus, suggesting short-term fire response of small mammals in tallgrass prairies. This secondary successional cycle of 7 months suggests the prairie's natural fire frequency was high.
