| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to "measure stream salamander abundance and diversity on 10 golf courses in western North Carolina to make biologically relevant management suggestions to improve the quality of golf courses for amphibian biodiversity." Describes the methods and materials used in the experiment, stating that "adult salamanders were sampled by visiting the golf course streams at night. Two researchers would systematically search each bank of the stream, catching or noting all salamnders that were encountered." |

| USGA Summary Points: | A total of 2,215 salamanders of seven species were caught on the 10 golf courses during the 2009 field season. The 300 total leaf bags were checked three times throughout the field season, producing 1,015 larval salamanders. The 60 total stream transects in the study were surveyed on three different nights, resulting on 1,200 adult salamanders. Data on 12 important aquatic and terrestrial habitat characteristics, including chemical contaminants, were quantified in order to better understand the influence of golf course management techniques on the stream salamander communities. |
