Fecha de publicación: | 2013 | Editor: | Museum and Institute of Zoology of Polish Academy of Sciences | Citación: | Acta Ornithologica 48(2): 201-2010 (2013) | Resumen: | In Europe, Dupont’s Lark Chersophilus duponti is a threatened open-habitat bird. Prescribed burning has sometimes been proposed for its conservation, but without evidence of its effectiveness. To evaluate the short-term effects of a summer wildfire on this species, we performed several transect counts in the burnt and unburnt parts of a shrubsteppe in central Spain. The same transects were counted within a three-year interval prior to the fire and were repeated during the first two springs after the fire. We also measured the vegetation during the first two springs after the fire. In the burnt area, we observed a decrease of about 85–100% in Dupont’s Lark abundance, and about 7–15% in the control area. The disappearance of the scrub cover after fire and its slow regeneration, as well as the large increase in grass cover during the second year, may explain the decrease in this habitat-specialist bird species. Fire should be avoided in areas occupied by the Dupont’s Lark, as its negative effects in the short-term may cause local extinctions. However, prescribed burning may be used in neighboring areas to create new open habitats that may be subsequently colonized by this species. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.3161/000164513X678856 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/142936 | DOI: | 10.3161/000164513X678856 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.3161/000164513X678856 issn: 0001-6454 |
