Forest land-use history affects outcomes of habitat augmentation for amphibian conservation

Historical land use (especially agriculture) has seldom been considered in the development of conservation programs for amphibians, a group in global decline. Habitat augmentation (e.g., wetland creation) is a growing conservation strategy to stem population declines in regions affected by habitat loss, but such actions are often implemented indiscriminately of landscape contexts that may mediate conservation outcomes for species with complex...
