Abstract

This report of the NJ Science Advisory Board Ecological Processes Standing Committee (EPSC) addresses charge questions focused on researching how the NJ Department of Environmental Protection might address impacts to vernal habitats (defined in state regulations at N.J.A.C. 7:7A1.3) through effective mitigation. Vernal habitats are valuable to a variety of species of wildlife, particularly as breeding locations for amphibians such as frogs and salamanders in some cases have suffered population declines statewide and nationwide.
