This project investigates the impact of Hurricane Helene on salamander diversity and abundance and food web stability and resilience at intermediate elevations in Western North Carolina and East Tennessee. Extreme disturbances, such as Hurricane Helene, create the opportunity to examine how temporal and spatial changes in landscape heterogeneity can produce variability in food web metrics.
