Population And Biomass Estimates In Four Species Of Terrestrial Plethodontid Salamanders

In areas such as the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, woodland habitats provide a rich area for terrestrial, woodland salamanders of the Family Plethodontidae. To understand the relative abundance and biomass present, three separate but related studies were conducted: 1) a regeneration study, 2) an ecological study, and 3) a biomass determination.
