Abiotic and biotic factors reduce viability of a high-elevation salamander in its native range

Includes data used to estimate population demographic parameters for an exemplary high-elevation amphibian species, the federally endangered Shenandoah salamander (Plethodon shenandoah). These parameters were entered into a Markov projection model which we used to forecast the future population status of the Shenandoah salamander.

本数据集涵盖用于估算某一代表性高海拔两栖物种——受美国联邦政府列为濒危的谢南多厄钝口螈（Plethodon shenandoah）的种群统计参数的相关数据。研究团队将上述参数导入马尔可夫投影模型（Markov projection model），并依托该模型对谢南多厄钝口螈的未来种群状况进行了预测。
