Data from: Negative effects of forest harvest on coastal tailed frog (Ascaphus truei) emerge after a decade-long experiment

From 2006-2015, we used a replicated Before-After Control-Impact (BACI) experiment to evaluate how coastal tailed frog (Ascaphus truei) density varied in three alternative riparian buffer configurations (continuous buffer, patchy buffer, and clearcut riparian area) and unharvested reference basins, in western Washington, USA. We used count data to estimate tailed frog density for three years pre-harvest, the first two years post-harvest, and years seven and eight post-harvest. We compared relative change in density for each buffer configuration between pre- and post-harvest after controlling for temporal changes in the reference. We present summary results for covariates influencing amphibian habitat quantity or quality, including stream temperature, in-channel wood load, stream wetted width, and instream sediment, all of which were monitored as a part of our broader research effort (McIntyre et al. 2021).
