At 17 sites, the distribution of frogs was investigated by hearing the croaking. The survey was conducted twice in May 21 and June 25, 2018. Changes in farmland management during the non-irrigation season were investigated by visually interpreting ortho mosaic imagery acquired by UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). Buffers with a radius of 150 m from 17 sites were created. For each category of farmland management, we analyzed the relationship between frog populations and the area of land blocks in the buffer. Farmland management during the non-irrigation season was found to be diverse. The frog population was found to be affected by farmland management during the non-irrigation season. Species more dependent on paddy fi elds were more susceptible, with Pelophylax porosus brevipodus being the most affected. It was suggested that the tillage from December to April had a negative effect on the population of P. porosus brevipodus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
