They are also a habitat for the fairy shrimp.]]> 2016-03-02 15:42:38 UTC https://padlet.com/langcenter418/vernalpools/wish/98500607 langcenter418 https://padlet.com/langcenter418/vernalpools/wish/98501748 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. ]]> 2016-03-02 15:45:02 UTC https://padlet.com/langcenter418/vernalpools/wish/98501748 langcenter418 https://padlet.com/langcenter418/vernalpools/wish/98502536 2016-03-02 15:46:51 UTC https://padlet.com/langcenter418/vernalpools/wish/98502536 langcenter418 https://padlet.com/langcenter418/vernalpools/wish/98504487 2016-03-02 15:51:14 UTC https://padlet.com/langcenter418/vernalpools/wish/98504487 langcenter418 https://padlet.com/langcenter418/vernalpools/wish/99036796

Two are natural and three were constructed.]]> 2016-03-04 14:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/langcenter418/vernalpools/wish/99037436 langcenter418 https://padlet.com/langcenter418/vernalpools/wish/99038053 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. ]]> 2016-03-04 14:42:41 UTC https://padlet.com/langcenter418/vernalpools/wish/99038053 langcenter418 https://padlet.com/langcenter418/vernalpools/wish/99042162 2016-03-04 14:54:01 UTC https://padlet.com/langcenter418/vernalpools/wish/99042162
