Amphibian populations have been declining for decades, and habitat alteration is one of the most influential factors leading to declines. Created wetlands can often compensate for loss of natural habitat, but little is known about amphibian population or community level responses to habitat alteration at the landscape scale. Further, they are usually constructed without knowledge of species habitat preferences. In the Ouachita National Forest of southeast Oklahoma, USA, the US Forest Service creates wetlands to promote amphibian abundance and reproductive success, but the amphibian community composition of these wetlands, and the natural wetlands in the region, are unknown. Therefore, the amphibian community composition of man-made and natural wetlands in the Ouachita National Forest, and habitat associations of amphibians in the region, were determined. Wetlands were sampled during May, June, and July of 2012 (Le Flore County) and 2013 (McCurtain County), using seining/dip netting, nighttime call surveys, and perimeter transects. Habitat variables were measured at each wetland and compared between wetland types, and species-environment relationships were analyzed using canonical correspondence analysis. Man-made wetlands had greater amphibian species richness compared to natural wetlands, and most species occurred more frequently in man-made wetlands than in natural wetlands in both counties. Amphibian species richness differed between sampling periods and wetland types in both counties, but the presence of fish did not affect species richness in man-made or natural wetlands in either county. Man-made wetlands were deeper and held water longer, but had greater open canopy and warmer water temperature compared to natural wetlands. Canopy cover and substrate were consistently the most important habitat variables influencing amphibian abundance and community structure. Man-made wetlands provide habitat for amphibians in the Ouachita National Forest, and positively impact amphibian diversity and persistence in southeast Oklahoma. Wetlands constructed in the Ouachita National Forest provide a framework for wetland construction for amphibians. Wetlands constructed for amphibians should be small but deep, have upland left intact, have vegetation planted if needed, and should be placed in the landscape appropriately to promote the persistence of multiple amphibian species.

This volume presents 5-year results of silvicultural treatments associated with ecosystem management research in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas. Results from stand-level treatments include regeneration dynamics of pine and hardwood species, effects of treatment on birds and small mammals, mast production, visual quality, oak decline, and organic matter. Pretreatment landscape findings include measurements of woody vegetation; birds, mammals, and herpetofauna; fish communities and trophic structure; hydrology; and evaluation of susceptibility to gypsy moth outbreaks.

Ecosystem Management in the United States is the first practical and comprehensive guide to ecosystem management efforts nationwide that meets the needs of practitioners and decisionmakers alike. The book is a unique and timely resource that significantly advances our understanding of the realities of ecosystem management by moving the debate from vague discussions of theory to an examination of real issues faced by people who are actually working with ecosystem-based approaches. It is an invaluable reference for everyone involved with land management or protection.

All phases of road developmentâ€"from construction and use by vehicles to maintenanceâ€"affect physical and chemical soil conditions, water flow, and air and water quality, as well as plants and animals. Roads and traffic can alter wildlife habitat, cause vehicle-related mortality, impede animal migration, and disperse nonnative pest species of plants and animals. Integrating environmental considerations into all phases of transportation is an important, evolving process. The increasing awareness of environmental issues has made road development more complex and controversial. Over the past two decades, the Federal Highway Administration and state transportation agencies have increasingly recognized the importance of the effects of transportation on the natural environment. This report provides guidance on ways to reconcile the different goals of road development and environmental conservation. It identifies the ecological effects of roads that can be evaluated in the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of roads and offers several recommendations to help better understand and manage ecological impacts of paved roads.

“Authoritative and comprehensive—provides an up-to-date description of the tool box of methods for inventorying and monitoring the diverse spectrum of reptiles. All biodiversity scientists will want to have it during project planning and as study progresses. A must for field biologists, conservation planners, and biodiversity managers.”—Jay M. Savage, San Diego State University “Kudos to the editors and contributors to this book. From the perspective of a non-ecologist such as myself, who only occasionally needs to intensively sample a particular site or habitat, the quality and clarity of this book has been well worth the wait.”—Jack W. Sites, Jr.
