1 Patch-burning and Grazing Monotypic Stands of Exoticgrass for Northern Bobwhite Habitat and Productivity Photo by: Chase Currie Eric Grahmann Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute
2 Introduction Buffelgrass is an invasive, exotic grass that degrades bobwhite habitat in south Texas Reduces Bare ground Forbs Arthropods Plant species richness Traversibility Heterogeneity
3 Introduction Buffelgrass used for nesting and roosting up to 600 ft but avoided otherwise Photo by: Chase Currie Tjelmeland 2007
4 Introduction Exotic grasses here to stay Millions of acres invaded Management rather than eradication in most areas PB&G - Forbs, plant species richness, and heterogeneity greater on the tallgrass prairie
5 Study Objectives Increase use of exotic grass communities and population densities of bobwhites Reduce exotic grasses Increase bare ground, traversibility, forb and subshrubs, and species richness patch heterogeneity use of exotic grass productivity
6 Study Site/Design LaSalle County, TX , 500 ac pastures 2 Treatment Burn 20% of the exotic grass landscape Graze stocker steers (1/4 ac) 2 Control Graze stocker steers

10 Data Collection (Veg) Standing crop (4 days from steer removal) 3, 2.4 m 2 grazing exclosures/community type 4, 1m 2 frames/exclosure Canopy cover (October) 120, 50 m transects 30 m woody line intercept 0.2 X 0.5 cm quadrats Herbaceous canopy Traversibility
11 Data Collection Community type use and bobwhite productivity (April Oct) Radiotelemety 2-3 times/week Bobwhite density Covey call counts (December - January) Minimum number of known birds/pasture (Mar and Oct) Trap data (March September) Photo by: Dr. Tim Fulbright
12 Statistical Analyses Vegetation and bobwhite community type use and productivity Mixed Models Fixed Effects - Treatment and study year Best fit model AIC c Repeated measures (Veg transects) Bobwhite density (# coveys) Repeated measures
13 Results: Vegetation Response No major effects on exotic grass or forb cover
14 Results (Grazing Intensity) Grass removal (49%) Forb removal (46%) 2010 (wet year) 40% grass removal in areas not burned 90% grass removal in burns
15
16 Results (Herbaceous Species Richness) No statistical differences during 2009 and 2010 Herbaceous Species Richness/0.1 m a a P = % greater b b Herbaceous Species Richness/0.1 m P = % greater 0 Exotic Grass Native Burned 2010 Burned Patch Burn and Graze Graze Only Community Type Treatment
17 Results (Bobwhite Habitat Use) Photo by: Chase Currie Bobwhites used exotic grass community types less than at random
18 Mixed Results (Bobwhite Habitat Use) 19/26 burns Before: Sept /26 burns

20 Results (Proportion Nests in Burned Community Types) bx*** P = bxy Bobwhite Randomly Generated 25 aa % Nests a*a** by aab Study Year
21 Results (Bobwhite Productivity and Density) No statistical differences in productivity metrics between treatments
22 Results (Density) Chase Currie
23 Conclusions Patch-burning and grazing did not Greatly decrease exotic grass cover Increase forb and subshrub cover in most burns
24 Conclusions Patch-burning and grazing did Result in greater heterogeneity Increase species richness Increase bobwhite density
25
26 Burning Lag Effects Burns not usable until 1.5 years post treatment i.e. lag forb response in 2012 Burn 2010: 5 months later Burn 1.6 years Burn 2.5 years Burn 2011: 5 months later
