Mammals and Mixed- and High-severity Fire

摘要: Effects of mixed and severe fire on mammals vary spatially temporally, by habitat type, species. Tree voles, masked shrews some mice decrease, at least temporarily, after forest fire, but most bats ungulates many small mammals—especially deer kangaroo rats—are strongly attracted to severely burned habitats due novel foraging opportunities. In heavily forests, more insect prey is available for bats, seeds sprouting plants feed mammals. Vegetation re-growth intense produces highly palatable browse elk, mule deer, bighorn sheep. Standing dead trees provide cover in whereas sheep can easily perceive predators chaparral. Mesocarnivores, including foxes, martens, fishers, often are detected forests that intensely. Unburned refugia within larger burns, the time-since-fire, especially important factors recolonization
