Water quality data collected in the field: pH, Dissolved oxygen (% sat, mg/L), Specific conductivity, temperature. Biological data: flora and fauna species identification, length, sex, weight measurements of adult breeding amphibians, Spatial data on pool area, amphibian egg mass counts, surface water height. Water quality: March through October, annual adult amphibian capture and egg mass counts (March, April, May), water level: continuous all year To study and monitor seasonal pool surface water storage, tie wildlife usage to healthy forested uplands in the watershed, and connect scientific data collected in the lower Hudson valley to better understand pool wetlands.
