Fire behavior in riparian zones is complex, but many aquatic and riparian organisms exhibit a suite of adaptations that allow relatively rapid recovery after fire. Unless constrained by other factors, fish tend to rebound relatively quick...

متن کاملSmall Mammal Communities In Riparian And Upland Habitats on The Upper Coastal Plain Of Virginia
We compared small mammal communities between riparian (stream corridor) and nearby upland habitats in a hardwood forest ecosystem on Fort A.P. Hill, Caroline County, Virginia. We used a combination of small-scale drift fence/pitfall trap arrays and snap traps to capture small mammals during April October 1998, with an additional winter sample in January 1999. We captured seven small mammal spec...
