What impact does agroforestry have on frog populations, according to a recent study
Study flags threat to frogs from agroforestry
- Agroforestry can provide suitable habitat for frogs by creating a more diverse ecosystem with a variety of trees and vegetation.
- However, recent studies suggest that agroforestry practices, such as shade-grown coffee farms, can also pose threats to frog populations.
- Increased pesticide use in agroforestry systems may negatively impact frog health and reproduction.
- Changes in water availability and quality due to agroforestry practices can further impact frog populations, as many species rely on water bodies for breeding.
- It is important for agroforestry practitioners to implement sustainable practices that consider the conservation of frog habitats and populations to mitigate potential negative impacts.
