Effects of anthropogenic forest stresses on the distribution and abundance of the Olympic Torrent Salamander (Rhyacotriton olympicus) in the Olympic National Forest and Olympic National Park
Kurtz TM. Effects of anthropogenic forest stresses on the distribution and abundance of the Olympic Torrent Salamander (Rhyacotriton olympicus) in the Olympic National Forest and Olympic National Park. Research Permit and Reporting System
Salamanders worldwide are faced with habitat loss, and much of the remaining habitat is under the constant pressure of degradation. The forests of the North American Pacific Northwest are no exception. The primary anthropogenic forces impacting the stability of lotic salamander populations on the Olympic peninsula are commercial timber harvest and culverts necessitated by roads crossing streams to facilitate the removal of timber from these forests.
