Long-term effects of experimental forest harvesting on abundance and reproductive demography of terrestrial salamanders (2009, methodology): “Based on prior research on these sites, relative abundances of salamanders decreased immediately following treatment (Harpole and Haas, 1999; Knapp et al., 2003 ).”
Effects of experimental forestry treatments on a Maine amphibian community (2006, background): “Our results corroborate findings of previous studies on the effects of forest management practices on amphibians, with lower overall abundance of amphibians in clearcuts (Pough et al., 1987; Raymond and Hardy, 1991; Petranka et al., 1993, 1994; Ash, 1997; Harpole and Haas, 1999; Grialou et al., 2000”
Long-term impacts of even-aged timber management on abundance and body condition of terrestrial amphibians in Northwestern California (2006, background): “Many of these studies (Enge and Marion, 1986; Harpole and Haas, 1999; Herbeck and Larsen, 1999; Knapp et al., 2003 ) were conducted less than 5 years after harvesting and found that clearcut harvesting significantly affected abundance of terrestrial salamanders.”
Biodiversity management approaches for stream–riparian areas: Perspectives for Pacific Northwest headwater forests, microclimates, and amphibians (2007, background): “30 Retains frogs—Australia Lemckert and Brassil (2000) 30 Retains riparian invertebrates; retains riparian microclimates (small streams with clearcuts) Rykken et al. (2007b) 30 Primary activity of aquatic trichoptera (may go as far as 200 m upslope) Collier and Smith (1998) 30–40 Retains most…”
Effects of Timber Harvest on Amphibian Populations: Understanding Mechanisms from Forest Experiments (2009, background): “…in temperate regions can have numerous negative effects on species richness and abundance of forest-dependent species, including amphibians (e.g., Bury 1983, Petranka et al. 1994, deMaynadier and Hunter 1995, Grialou et al. 2000, Ross et al. 2000, DeGraaf and Yamasaki 2002, Knapp et al. 2003).”
Effects of structural complexity enhancement on eastern red-backed salamander (Plethodon cinereus) populations in northern hardwood forests (2006, result): “They described their study site as being ‘‘littered with American chestnut (Castanea dentata) trees killed by chestnut blight in the early 1900s.’’ Their results contrast with other studies conducted in the southern Appalachians (Harpole and Haas, 1999; Knapp et al., 2003 ) which found negative res”
Assessing quality of clearcut habitats for amphibians: Effects on abundances versus vital rates in the southern toad (Bufo terrestris) (2006, background): “Clearcutting typically has a negative effect on amphibian abundances and richness (Petranka et al., 1994; Ash, 1997; Grialou et al., 2000; Knapp et al., 2003; Karraker and Welsh, 2006).”
