Timber harvesting can have strong effects on terrestrial salamanders, which are critical components of forest ecosystems and indicators of environmental change. Effects of harvest methods such as clearcutting have been studied in the short term, but few studies have examined salamander trends throughout the decade following timber harvest. The effects of other harvest methods, such as patch cuts and shelterwoods, also remain unclear. We examined the effects of clearcuts, patch cuts, and shelterwood harvests on salamander relative abundance one year before and up to eleven years after harvest in clearcuts, shelterwoods, and patch cuts at the Hardwood Ecosystem Experiment (HEE). A total of 41,858 salamanders representing ten species were captured under artificial coverboards over this period with eastern red-back (Plethodon cinereus) and zigzag (Plethodon dorsalis) salamanders dominating.
