Project Range-wide assessment of grazing and hydrology in bog turtle wetlands
by Bridgett Costanzo — published Oct 28, 2022 — last modified Jul 24, 2023 11:25 AM — filed under: , , , , ,
In December 2018, a meeting of bog turtle experts was hosted in Richmond, VA and experts across the Eastern range of the species identified as a high priority the need to better understand the benefits and potential negative impacts of livestock grazing in bog turtle inhabited wetlands. Hydrologic conditions in bog turtle wetlands emerged as a secondary concern needing more research. Recently, NRCS’ Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP) awarded funds to Dr. Carola Haas leading a team of researchers at Virginia Tech University to conduct an assessment on these two topics (grazing and hydrology).

Product The Effects of Livestock Grazing on the Bog Turtle
by Rhishja Cota — published Nov 08, 2022 — last modified Jul 24, 2023 11:27 AM — filed under: , , , , , , , , , , ,
The demise of small-scale dairy farming over the past three decades has led to the pastoral abandonment of the majority of bog turtle habitats in the Northeast. As a consequence, habitats are being degraded by the growth of invasive flora, changes in hydrology, and the loss of turtle microhabitats created by livestock.

Product Grazing for Bog Turtle Habitat Management: Case Study of a New York Fen
by Rhishja Cota — published Nov 08, 2022 — last modified Jul 24, 2023 11:28 AM — filed under: , , , , , , , , , , , ,
This study presents results from a single wetland complex in New York, USA, which we managed primarily with cattle grazing over four and a half growing seasons. Management effectiveness was assessed by monitoring Bog Turtle nest placement, habitat use via radio tracking, and vegetation structure and composition change in permanent plots.

Product Effects of Habitat Alterations on Bog Turtles (Glyptemys muhlenbergii): A Comparison of Two Populations

This study compared Bog Turtle population demography and habitat use from 1994 to 2009 at two sites in Massachusetts, USA: one site was managed for nonnative invasive species and natural succession (Site 1), and the other site was flooded from American Beaver (Castor canadensis) activity resulting in an expansion of nonnative invasive plants (Site 2).
