surveying sites (Table 4) under different harvest regimes for 



salamander presence before and after scheduled timber sales 



(Table 3) . Adjacent unlogged populations in similar habitat 



types should be protected and monitored as controls. 



Several known Coeur d'Alene salamander populations have 



already been exposed to logging (Table 5) . These should continue 



to be regularly monitored. Surveys could also be conducted to 



examine current salamander presence in logged and unlogged 



drainages. Concurrent data should be collected on timber 



management technique (clearcut, select cut, buffer width) , 



percent of drainage logged, water temperature, ambient 



temperature, substrate size, cobble embeddedness , canopy cover, 



slope, stream gradient and aspect.
