Purpose
Livestock grazing is one of the most common land uses in the western USA, where multiple amphibians of conservation concern use habitats that are grazed. Despite the common intersection of grazing and sensitive amphibian species, there are very few reviews of research related to the issue. The purpose of this database is to provide users with a query-able compilation of the positive and negative effects of livestock grazing on amphibians and their habitats. This information should help agency and private land managers evaluate and implement grazing while maintaining habitat for Oregon spotted frogs and other amphibians.
