Examines small mammal populations, using snaptraps, for 3 years after burning slash from jack pine in southeastern Manitoba. Peromyscus maniculatus populations built rapidly in the burned plots, though the species was infrequently trapped in adjacent, uncut control stands. Abundance of all other species was reduced in burned, relative to control, areas.
