Although many plants, animals, and ecosystem processes benefit from fire, we have a limited understanding of how wildfire impacts medium and large terrestrial mammals. Long-term studies are essential to understand how animals respond to fires and guide management that promotes wildfire resilience. We use time series data from a grid of 20 wildlife cameras at Pepperwood Preserve to explore how fire severity, diet type, and local vegetation interact to influence temporal trends in the presence and abundance of wild mammal species over the two years after the 2017 Tubbs fire.
