In the past Biology students have studied the effect of habitat fragmentation by human development (i.e. roads) on the movement of amphibians (i.e.  wood frogs and salamanders).

Now we are switching directions. Construction of vernal pools has become a mitigative method for wetland conservation. The question now is how are constructed vernal pools different than natural pools and are they as successful as the natural ones.

In Jacobsburg State Park, there are a total of 5 known vernal pools. Two are natural and three were constructed.

They are seasonal habitats and a type of wetland. They are dry part of the year and filled with water the other part of the year. They are charged via groundwater and/or precipitation.

Vernal pools are breeding grounds for many vulnerable amphibians, such as wood frogs and mole salamanders. They are also a habitat for the fairy shrimp.
