Amphibian Occurrences in Mining Site Wetlands Across Five Time Points

A dataset of amphibian occurrences in ponds at mining sites, detected via transect walks and eDNA metabarcoding. It includes assessments from five distinct time points (L1-L5). The data, authored by Vera Zizka and published under a CC-BY-4.0 license, supports the manuscript 'Management of wetlands in mining sites conserves habitat for threatened amphibians'.

Use Cases

• Comparing amphibian detection methods based on morphological identification versus environmental DNA metabarcoding.
• Analyzing temporal trends in amphibian occupancy based on data from five distinct time points.
• Assessing the habitat value of managed wetlands in post-mining landscapes for threatened species.

Strengths

• Data combines traditional transect surveys with modern eDNA metabarcoding for species detection.
• Temporal coverage includes five distinct sampling time points (L1-L5).
• Dataset is small (9.6 KB), facilitating quick download and initial exploration.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The geographic scope of the mining sites is not specified in the provided metadata.
