Slash Pile Characteristics and their Relationship to Habitat for Sacramento Mountain Salamanders, New Mexico USA
This data package contains six tables: 1) slash pile characteristics, 2) soil moisture and temperature below and nearby slash piles, 3) measurements of individual logs within slash piles, 4) characteristics of log cover objects nearby slash piles, 5) locations and body measurements of Sacramento Mountain salamanders (Aneides hardii) found under or within slash piles or individual log cover objects near slash piles, and 6) characteristics of log cover objects searched in a 1.4 hectare area encompassing slash piles, including body measurements of Sacramento Mountain salamanders found under these objects.
Data were collected over a three-day period in late August 2021, in the Lincoln National Forest of south-central New Mexico, United States. Sixteen slash piles and associated environmental variables were measured to assess the potential for slash piles to serve as habitat for Sacramento Mountain salamanders.
