This source focuses on the species of marsh and shrub wetlands, how to recognize marsh and shrub wetlands, and why they are important.
Describes a biologically-based method for determining what species of amphibians will use any given wetland by assessing wetlands based on their hydroperiod, the length of time and portion of the year that a wetland holds water. Understanding hydroperiod is an important initial step in guiding management decisions aimed at minimizing or avoiding loss or degradation of wetlands that provide significant amphibian breeding habitat within an area.
Workshop presentations and handouts covering the three wetland parameters (plants, soil, and hydrology) and office-based tools and field methods for identifying and delineating wetlands.
