- Site checks
- dataset_eml_methodsStartDate: 1991-04-15
dataset_eml_methodsEndDate: 1996-12-31 - dataset_eml_methoddescription: Site checks are more spatially dispersed, opportunistic visits to survey species not captured by other methods.
- dataset_eml_methodsStartDate: 1991-04-15
- Active searches
- dataset_eml_methodsStartDate: 1991-04-01
dataset_eml_methodsEndDate: 1996-12-31 - dataset_eml_methoddescription: Active searches involves visiting a localized area and turning over rocks and logs to identify amphibians.The number of individuals of each species found in a given area per time were recorded to provide a rough measure of species relative abundance
- dataset_eml_methodsStartDate: 1991-04-01
- Night visits
- dataset_eml_methodsStartDate: 1991-04-01
dataset_eml_methodsEndDate: 1996-12-31 - dataset_eml_methoddescription: Night time visits are made to selected sites to hear the calls. Time of year and weather conditions chosen to locate species not located using other methods
- dataset_eml_methodsStartDate: 1991-04-01
- Opportunistic observations
- dataset_eml_methodsStartDate: 1996-12-31
dataset_eml_methodsEndDate: 1996-12-31 - dataset_eml_methoddescription: Accidental discoveries are recorded when a species is found that was not the target of another survey technique

- Drift Fences
- dataset_eml_methodsStartDate: 1991-04-01
- dataset_eml_samplingdescription: At Mt. Mansfield, drift fences made of 50-foot sections of 20" wide metal flashing buried 4" below the ground surface at a height of 16" at right angles to each other. 2 sections were used at 1200' and 1600', one section at 3200'. Buckets are buried every 12.5' on both sides of the fence.
