Terrestrial salamander captures in 100 m2 sub-plots two years after the 2003 Clark fire (Willamette National Forest, OR)

Data exist in a Microsoft Access 2003 database, and are the result of fixed-area, time-constrained searches for terrestrial salamanders within and nearby a wildfire-affected area of the Willamette National Forest, OR. The spatial extent of the study was within one kilometer of the border of the 2009 ha fire. Site surveys occurred during March and April, 2005. An important feature of the data is that 100 m2 sub-plots (nested within plots) were repeatedly searched for terrestrial salamanders independently up to nine times so that variation in the probability of capture could be estimated and accounted for concurrent with estimates of occupancy probability. At a subset of plots captured animals were marked with elastomer.
