[vernalpool] surrounding habitat

 

On average, does anybody know how far away from the vernal pool the
majority of adult salamanders and wood frogs might live?

I am a teacher at Carver Middle High School where we have two vernal
pools. One is bordered mostly by woods and one is bordered by some
trees, but mostly athletic fields and a parking lot. I am hoping to have
my classes map the surrounding habitat of each pool. I was thinking
about having them do several transects from the various sides of each
pool, but am wondering how long the transects should be. Any thoughts?

Then of course in the spring we will do a comparative biological
analysis of species breeding in the pools.

Thanks,
Michelle
