| | Title | Dynamics of amphibian populations of Acadia National Park in relation to |
| | anthropogenic and natural changes in wetland systems |
| | Project Description | Little detailed information is available for amphibian populations in most eastern National Park |
| | Service units and Acadia National Park is no exception. Baseline data on population abundance |
| | and distribution is required for local amphibian species so that NPS managers can make informed |
| | decisions that protect park resources. In addition, amphibians, as a group, are considered |
| | reliable indicators of environmental stress as evidenced in some areas by declining populations |
| | and species diversity. Amphibian populations will be documented in a variety of wetlands, and |
| | evaluated (e.g., reproduction) with respect to biotic (e.g., fish populations) and abiotic factors |
| | (e.g., temperature, acidity). |
