CSM04 Seasonal summary of numbers of small mammals on the eight LTER seasonal burn traplines in prairie habitats at Konza Prairie

Data set contains seasonal summaries (spring, summer and fall) of the number of individuals of each species of small mammal caught (relative density) on each grassland census line. Each record contains trapline, year of last fire and number of individuals per species. These live trap records are based on daily captures during three 4-day trapping periods, March, July and October, for each of 20 permanent census lines established on 10 fire-grazing treatments (2 lines per treatment). These 10 fire-grazing treatments are one unburned, one annual burn and one 4-year burn site to be grazed by native ungulates and one unburned, one annual burn, four 4-year burn and one 10-year burn site not grazed by ungulates.

本数据集收录了各草原普查样线（grassland census line）上捕获的各小型哺乳动物（small mammal）物种个体数（相对密度）的季节汇总数据，统计周期涵盖春季、夏季与秋季。每条记录包含诱捕带（trapline）信息、末次火烧年份以及各物种的个体数量。该活体诱捕数据集基于20条永久草原普查样线的捕获数据，这些数据取自每年3月、7月与10月三个为期4天的诱捕周期内的每日捕获记录。上述20条样线被设置于10种火-放牧处理（fire-grazing treatment）样地中，每种处理对应设置2条样线。10种火-放牧处理具体包括：1块未火烧样地、1块每年火烧样地以及1块每4年火烧且供本土有蹄类（native ungulates）放牧的样地；其余样地则涵盖1块未火烧、1块每年火烧、4块每4年火烧以及1块每10年火烧且未被有蹄类放牧的样地。
