Responses of amphibians to restoration of a southern Appalachian wetland: Perturbations confound post-restoration assessment
Responses of amphibians to restoration of a southern Appalachian wetland: Perturbations confound post-restoration assessment
Abstract: Although regulatory, agencies in the USA typically require 3–5 yr of post-restoration monitoring of biotic responses to wetland mitigation, many researchers have argued that longer time frames are needed to assess population responses adequately. We conducted an 8-yr study to examine the demographic responses of the wood frog (Rana sylvatica) and spotted salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) to wetland creation at a mitigation bank in western North Carolina.
