In studies comparing patch burning (PB) to pasture managed with traditional management (TM) practices, weight gains of stocker cattle did not differ.

Invasive plants are defined by their ability to rapidly increase in vegetative cover, the rate and extent of land area they occupy, along with their ability to disrupt an existing ecosystem.

Patch burning benefits all aspects of a prescribed burning program.

Fire and grazing are interactive disturbance processes that are important to the structure and function of grassland ecosystems including the soils. There have been numerous studies of nitrogen (N) availability in grasslands that have reported different effects following grazing and fire.

Patch burning through preferential grazing of burned patches promotes a diversity of plant species.

The creation of diverse habitats for single or multiple species is the main benefit from patch burning.
