1 Vernal Pool Study Spring 2013 Cathance River Education Alliance! By: Izzy Jorgensen and Kadin Woolever
2 CREA The Cathance River Education Alliance is a non-profit organization dedicated to using the resources of the Cathance River Preserve to educate students, educators, and the public.! It is located in Topsham, Maine on the Cathance River Preserve.! The preserve features multiple trails which allow the public to see the preserve s beautiful woods, river, and vernal pools.
3 Get familiar with the Cathance River Preserve: Ecology Center: The energy-efficient building that teaches Pond: This pond is home to many organisms and is used for research and teaching
4 The Cathance River runs through the preserve. In some places the river has wild rapids and in some places it is very calm. The river features a wide array of plants and animals.
5 CREA MAP = Vernal Pool
6 Our Goals We began this project as a way to learn more about the different species living in vernal pools, and how they developed over the course of our spring semester.! We wanted to gain experience in field work and to diversify our science curriculum.! We wanted to identify which pools were significant.! We wanted to study the different problems that vernal pools face.
7 Vernal Pool Lingo Here are some helpful terms to know regarding vernal pools - Vernal Pool: A temporary pool of water that provides a habitat for distinctive plants and animals. Vernal pools don t have fish and in Maine they generally form in the Spring after the snow melts.! Significant: A significant vernal pool contains specific species of plants and animals including some combination of the following: Spotted Salamanders, Fairy Shrimp, Wood Frogs, and Blue-Spotted Salamanders.! Egg masses: Egg masses are the clumps of eggs that are laid by various species in the vernal pools. They range in the number of eggs they contain, their size, and their texture.
8 River Pool What We Found! Fairy Shrimp! Wood Frogs! Wood Frog Egg Masses (8)! Spotted Salamander Egg Masses (30)!!! Observations! The pool had an oily film on the surface.! This probably indicates decay of plants and! other organisms within the pool.!! Conclusion! Because it contains organisms including fairy! shrimp, wood frogs and more than 20 spotted salamander egg masses, this pool! is considered significant.
9 Spotted Salamander egg mass from the River Pool Interesting Fact: The Spotted Salamander egg masses in the River Pool had the same same brownish color that the water surface did, distinguishing them from the whitishclear egg masses of the other vernal pools. Spotted Salamander egg mass from the Quarry Pool
10 Deep Pool What We Found! Wood Frogs! Wood Frog Egg Masses (4)! Spotted Salamander Egg Masses (38)! Mosquito Larvae!! Observations! The bottom of the pool was not solid, it was made up of sticks, leaves, and moss that had piled up over time.!! We also were able to see the mating process of wood frogs, which consists of several males fighting for a single female.!! Conclusions! This pool is significant because it contains more than 20 spotted salamander egg masses.
11 Interesting Fact: The Deep Pool is surrounded by rock walls that range from 5-8 ft in height. There is one point where the land slopes which appears to be the most accessible entrance point for organisms to enter the pool to lay their eggs. This is evident based upon the fact that all of the wood frog egg masses in the pool are concentrated at the point where the sloped land meets the water. Point where the land slopes egg masses
12 Quarry Pool What We Found! Wood Frogs! Wood Frog Egg Masses (20)! Spotted Salamander Egg Masses (105)! Painted Turtles! Tadpoles! Newts! Snake! Dragonfly Larvae! Bullfrog! Green Frog!! Observations! There was an abundance of life in this pool. The were very large frogs, and one turtle that we caught several times.!! Conclusions! This pool is clearly significant, as shown by the large number organisms found in it.
13 Pictures From the Quarry Pool Newt Bull Frog Painted Turtle
14 The little white specks are spermatophores which are laid by male spotted salamanders. The female salamander then crawls over them and lays her eggs at those points.
15 Wood Frog Eggs in the Quarry Pool Wood Frog Eggs Tadpoles hatching from Wood Frog eggs
16 More Exciting Finds: Found in the pond near the Ecology Center Found in the center of the trail leading to the Quarry Pool On separate occasions and in separate locations we found these large Snapping Turtles. It remains unclear as to whether or not they are the same turtle; however, we believe they are different animals.
17 Vernal Pool Problems A problem facing most of the vernal pools on the preserve is that they were formed by water filling in vacant quarries.! According to the state government, this qualifies the pools as man-made, so they cannot be protected by Maine legislation.
