Pacific Tree Frog

Paper Summary:

This study discusses the impacts of buffer widths of less than 50 feet on the populations of the common Pacific Tree Frog, Psuedacris Regilla. It looks at the problem at hand and discusses ways that this environmental concern can be solved.

From the Paper:

"Buffers are one way to protect the environment and demonstrate a commitment to conservation. They're best described as a small area or strip of land in permanent vegetation that's designed to slow water runoff, improve water and air quality, provide shelter and stabilize riparian areas. There are several types of buffers including wetlands and a Riparian corridor. Riparian Buffers are streamside plantings of trees, shrubs and grasses that can intercept pollutants from both surface and shallow groundwater before they reach a river or stream. Riparian buffers provide habitat for wildlife and enhance fish habitat by, among other things, reducing water temperature. Wetlands are lands on which water covers the soil or is present either at or near the surface of the soil or within the root zone, all year or for varying periods of time during the year, including during the growing season."
