Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER)/KNZ009: Seasonal Summary of Number of Small Mammals for Konza Prairie LTER Traplines

LTER - Long-Term Ecological Research Program/Konza Prairie (KNZ)

LTER/KNZ009 [Summary adapted from the LTER Core Data Set Catalog]:

This 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 peroids, 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.

The Konza Prairie Research Natural Area (KPRNA) is a representative of
native tallgrasss prairie in the Flint Hills of eastern Kansas. The
Konza Prairie was established as a research facility in 1972 and now
contains 3,487 ha. The land was acquired by the Nature Conservancy
and is leased to the Division of Biology at Kansas State University
for research purposes.
