Sažetak
Historical data on amphibian species richness and abundance are not available for the Pokupsko basin study area. Also, the value of these wetlands for amphibians has not been examined previously. The aim of this study is to determine local amphibian species richness and abundance in a landscape heavily influenced by human activities. Wetland characteristics in the study area such as size, vegetation, hydrology and extent of human land use is described based on previous faunistic and plant studies of these habitats as well as recorded new data on water chemistry characteristics relevant for amphibians. Field visits were conducted from 2004 to 2006 in an area of 4, 25 ha, where 4 permanent plots were installed. Drift fences and pitfall traps were used as sampling technique. During the study period 6 amphibian species were recorded. Bufo bufo was the most abundant species accounting for about 43, 12% of all captures. Salamandra salamandra comprised 41, 28% of the samples. Regarding vegetation, 96 species were identified. Values of water chemistry variables did not range widely and the general observation is that ponds were eutrophic. The extensive alterations at Pokupsko basin has resulted in changes in wetland hydrology and a probable shift in the relative abundance of amphibian species.
