Patch-burn grazing, a combination of fire and grazing, has been identified as a novel approach to maintaining biodiversity in the Great Plains of the United States. Many ranchers, however, are not aware of the practice and very few of them had adopted it on their land. Utilizing the data obtained from a survey of landowners residing in the southern Great Plains of the United State conducted in 2021, we analyzed the factors affecting the awareness and adoption of patch-burn grazing. Since an adoption behavior study might suffer from selection bias if the level of awareness is not appropriately accounted for, we used a bivariate probit model for data analysis. The study results indicated that repeated wildfires, nature conservancy, and university/county extension positively affected the probability of patch-burn grazing awareness while the effect of age and livestock membership had a negative impact. The research further revealed that larger landholding size, management objectives to control blackberry, repeated wildfires, and university/county extension positively influenced the likelihood of patch-burn grazing adoption. In contrast, the management objective to control red cedar, along with respondent age, and higher-income negatively influenced the patch-burn grazing adoption. Since many landowners are not convinced to adopt patch-burn grazing, study results suggest further extension needs to educate traditional and non-traditional ranchers on the ecological and production benefits of patch-burn grazing.

影响美国大平原南部采用斑块烧伤放牧的因素

斑块焚烧放牧是火烧和放牧的结合,已被确定为维持美国​​大平原生物多样性的一种新方法。然而,许多牧场主并不知道这种做法,而且很少有人在他们的土地上采用过这种做法。利用 2021 年对居住在美国大平原南部的土地所有者进行的一项调查获得的数据,我们分析了影响斑块放牧意识和采用的因素。如果未适当考虑意识水平​​,采用行为研究可能会出现选择偏差,因此我们使用双变量概率模型进行数据分析。研究结果表明,反复发生的野火、自然保护、和大学/县扩展对斑块烧伤放牧意识的可能性产生积极影响,而年龄和牲畜成员的影响产生负面影响。该研究进一步表明,更大的土地占有面积、控制黑莓的管理目标、反复发生的野火以及大学/县的扩展对采用斑块烧伤放牧的可能性产生了积极影响。相比之下,控制红柏的管理目标、受访者的年龄和较高的收入对斑块烧伤放牧的采用产生了负面影响。由于许多土地所有者不相信采用斑块烧伤放牧,研究结果表明需要进一步推广以教育传统和非传统牧场主关于斑块烧伤放牧的生态和生产效益。该研究进一步表明,更大的土地占有面积、控制黑莓的管理目标、反复发生的野火以及大学/县的扩展对采用斑块烧伤放牧的可能性产生了积极影响。相比之下,控制红柏的管理目标、受访者的年龄和较高的收入对斑块烧伤放牧的采用产生了负面影响。由于许多土地所有者不相信采用斑块烧伤放牧,研究结果表明需要进一步推广以教育传统和非传统牧场主关于斑块烧伤放牧的生态和生产效益。该研究进一步表明,更大的土地占有面积、控制黑莓的管理目标、反复发生的野火以及大学/县的扩展对采用斑块烧伤放牧的可能性产生了积极影响。相比之下,控制红柏的管理目标、受访者的年龄和较高的收入对斑块烧伤放牧的采用产生了负面影响。由于许多土地所有者不相信采用斑块烧伤放牧,研究结果表明需要进一步推广以教育传统和非传统牧场主关于斑块烧伤放牧的生态和生产效益。控制红柏的管理目标、受访者的年龄和较高的收入对斑块烧伤放牧的采用产生了负面影响。由于许多土地所有者不相信采用斑块烧伤放牧,研究结果表明需要进一步推广以教育传统和非传统牧场主关于斑块烧伤放牧的生态和生产效益。控制红柏的管理目标、受访者的年龄和较高的收入对斑块烧伤放牧的采用产生了负面影响。由于许多土地所有者不相信采用斑块烧伤放牧,研究结果表明需要进一步推广以教育传统和非传统牧场主关于斑块烧伤放牧的生态和生产效益。
