Spontaneous succession on spoil banks supports amphibian diversity and abundance
Original language description
The ecological value and conservation potential of post-mining areas have been increasingly recognized by scientists and conservationists during recent decades. Especially valuable are sites left to spontaneous succession, which constitute habitats with high species diversity, or habitats that serve as refuges for threatened species. In contrast to several other taxa, there is a lack of such evidence for amphibians, despite the assumption that primary succession leads to a more suitable environment for amphibians than does technical reclamation. Therefore, we compared the effects of technical reclamation and spontaneous succession on amphibian presence, species richness, and abundance of the model species Rana dalmatina in technically reclaimed and unreclaimed sections of spoil banks in the Czech Republic is North Bohemian brown coal basin. We found that most recorded amphibian species, and R. dalmatina in particular, occurred predominantly within successional spoil bank sections.
