Abstract
We compared the relative abundance of terrestrial salamanders before and after application of seven regeneration treatments in a low-elevation, southern Appalachian hardwood forest in southwest Virginia. Treatments included understory removal, group selection, two shelterwoods, leave-tree, clearcut, and a control. Salamander relative abundance was significantly lower after harvest on the group selection ( p=0.005), shelterwoods ( p=0.007 and p=0.015), leave-tree ( p=0.001), and clearcut treatments ( p=0.001). There was no significant difference in relative abundance during the same period on the control ( p=0.788) or understory removal ( p=0.862) treatments.
