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

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.
