Figure 5

Comparison of amphibian species richness across five treatments at 25 sites (sample size in parentheses, error bars represent standard error) from 2009 to 2010 (Pre) and 2011 to 2012 (Post). High-quality sites represent sites recently occupied by reticulated flatwoods salamanders (Ambystoma bishopi) and have habitat characteristics reported for the species. Mechanical sites had the midstory removed and were treated with herbicide, Mechanical + burn sites had the midstory removed and were treated with herbicide and burned (these sites were not included in statistical analyses), and Burn-only sites received only fire as a treatment. Low-quality sites were not treated, had an overgrown midstory, and were not recently occupied by flatwoods salamanders.
