Fire in North American Wetland Ecosystems and Fire-Wildlife Relations: An Annotated Bibliography

43. Clark, M. K, D. S. Lee, and J. B. Funderburg, Jr. 1985. The mammal fauna of 
         Carolina bays, pocosins, and associated communities in North Carolina: 
         an overview. Brimleyana 11:1-38.

During a 4-yr period, approximately 17,000 trap nights and 200 field days in 12 North Carolina habitat types produced specimens or signs of 40 species of mammals. Fires, storms, and man-related disturbances create a patchy mosaic of habitats that affects positively the density and diversity of mammals in pocosin communities. Management of extensive pocosin areas is desirable if mammal diversity is to be maintained. [From authors' abstract]
