Proceedings of the 4Th Fire in Eastern Oak Forests Conference Proceedings of the 4th United States Fire in Eastern Oak Department of Agriculture Forests Conference Forest Service Northern Research Station General Technical Report NRS-P-102 Abstract Contains 14 full-length papers and 40 abstracts of posters that were presented at the 4th Fire in Eastern Oak Forests conference, held in Springfield, MO, May 17-19, 2011. The conference was attended by over 250 people from 65 different organizations and entities, representing 22 states and 1 Canadian province. Acknowledgments The steering committee thanks the Missouri University Conference Office and in particular Angela Freemyer, Conference Coordinator, Lindsay Kilgore, Administrative Assistant, and Sharon Rodes, Graphic Designer. We also extend our thanks to the management and staff of the University Plaza Hotel for our conference and hotel accommodations. Special thanks go to Nancy Bastin, Southern Research Station, for formatting all papers and abstracts in this proceedings. Special thanks also go to Reggie Bray, Jody Eberly, Paul Nelson, and other staff of the U.S. Forest Service Mark Twain National Forests for their leadership and contributions in the Glade Top Trail and shortleaf pine restoration field trips, to Ken McCarty, Allison Vaughn, and Tim Smith of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, State Parks for their contributions to the field trip at Roaring River State Park, and to Sherry Leis, Missouri State University Biology Department for leading a tour on ecosystem restoration at the National Park Service Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield Park. This conference was dedicated to the memory of Alan Zentz (1953-2010), who was a long-standing supporter of this gathering. Alan joined the U.S. Forest Service in 1999 as the Cooperative Fire Program Specialist for the Northeastern Area. Throughout his career he worked to improve forest fire protection for millions of people in the Northeast. He provided response assistance with the Federal Emergency Management Agency at the World Trade Center following the attack of 9/11, and on hurricanes Katrina and Rita. His work in the arena of emergency response helped provide a foundation for incident management implementation throughout the nation. Alan will be missed by all who knew him for his wit, humor, and dedication to his family and the fire program he served so well.

The authors worked with the editors to revise their manuscripts, based on the reviewer’s comments. Revised manuscripts were edited for formatting by Nancy Bastin, U.S. Forest Service, Southern Research Station, and then submitted to the Northern Research Station Production Services for technical editing and design.

WELCOME This conference was a major symposium focused on fire in oak forests, woodlands, and savannas where noted experts in research and management gathered to present state- of-the-art information, perspectives and synthesis on key issues. The conference has been held previously in: • Carbondale, IL (2008): Forest and fire management, effects and modeling in the Central Hardwood Region • Columbus, OH (2005): Delivering science to land managers • Richmond, KY (2000): a workshop on fire, people and the Central Hardwoods landscape This symposium took place in the most western location of the eastern deciduous forests in the conference’s history. This is a landscape that is really different than those that have been represented at the previous conferences, a land that has a rich history of human settlement and fire use, and where managers have been using prescribed fire for more than 30 years on large-scale to landscape scale projects. The theme of this conference was “Managing Oak Woodlands & Savannas in the Forest-Prairie Region”. The conference featured 15 invited presentations and 45 posters by scientists and managers from around the United States, who provided information on fire use and effects on a wide range of topics including: • Human, fire and natural history of the region – foundations of understanding and basis for restoration • Examples of restoring oak-pine woodlands and savannas from Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma • The history and current use of fire in natural resource public agencies in the Midwest • Grazing and fire interactions in grasslands • The role of fire in the southern Appalachian Region during the Holocene • Managing woodlands and savannas for songbirds, bats, and reptiles • Managing invasive species in woodland and savanna restoration • Tools for assessing disturbance risk and management options • Introduction of the Midwest Oak Woodland and Forest Fire Consortium Many of the presentation topics were reinforced by the four field tours that featured the rich and relatively long-term history of using prescribed fire to manage for a wide range of natural resource and conservation objectives. There was a mix of topics on using fire to manage vegetation and wildlife and restore native ecosystems presented by scientists and managers who are noted leaders in the use of prescribed fire in this region. More than 250 people attended the conference representing 22 states, 1 Canadian province, and 65 different organizations, institutions, agencies, and private entities. We were glad to host you in Missouri. I hope your time here was richly rewarded by the fine presentations and field tours, by good fellowship with each other, and by your active participation in all our discussions.

Its mission is to provide a service to other state agencies, to work with private landowners to protect archaeological sites, and to educate the public about Kentucky’s rich archaeological heritage. Kentucky Heritage Council The mandate of the Kentucky Heritage Council is to identify, preserve, and protect the cultural resources of Kentucky. The Council also maintains continually-updated inventories of historic structures and archaeological sites and nominates properties to the National Register of Historic Places. By working with other state and federal agencies, local communities, and interested citizens, the Council seeks to build a greater awareness of Kentucky’s past and to encourage the long-term preservation of Kentucky’s significant cultural resources. Through its various programs (e.g., Main Street, Grants, Publications, Rural Preservation, Civil War Initiative, Conferences), the Council strives to show how historic resources contribute to the heritage, economy, and quality of life of all Kentuckians.

  • Crocodiles in the Sahara Desert: an Update of Distribution, Habitats and Population Status for Conservation Planning in Mauritania
    Crocodiles in the Sahara Desert: An Update of Distribution, Habitats and Population Status for Conservation Planning in Mauritania Jose´ C. Brito1*, Fernando Martı´nez-Freirı´a1, Pablo Sierra2, Neftalı´ Sillero3, Pedro Tarroso1 1 CIBIO - Centro de Investigac¸a˜o em Biodiversidade e Recursos Gene´ticos da Universidade do Porto, Instituto de Cieˆncias Agra´rias de Vaira˜o, Vaira˜o, Portugal, 2 A Cancela, Chaı´n 77, Pontevedra, Spain, 3 Centro de Investigac¸a˜oemCieˆncias Geo-Espaciais (CICGE) da Universidade do Porto, Porto, Portugal Abstract Background: Relict populations of Crocodylus niloticus persist in Chad, Egypt and Mauritania. Although crocodiles were widespread throughout the Sahara until the early 20th century, increased aridity combined with human persecution led to local extinction. Knowledge on distribution, occupied habitats, population size and prey availability is scarce in most populations. This study evaluates the status of Saharan crocodiles and provides new data for Mauritania to assist conservation planning. Methodology/Principal Findings: A series of surveys in Mauritania detected crocodile presence in 78 localities dispersed across 10 river basins and most tended to be isolated within river basins. Permanent gueltas and seasonal taˆmouˆrts were the most common occupied habitats. Crocodile encounters ranged from one to more than 20 individuals, but in most localities less than five crocodiles were observed. Larger numbers were observed after the rainy season and during night sampling. Crocodiles were found dead in between water points along dry river-beds suggesting the occurrence of dispersal. Conclusion/Significance: Research priorities in Chad and Egypt should focus on quantifying population size and pressures exerted on habitats. The present study increased in by 35% the number of known crocodile localities in Mauritania.
