Edges of Water Bodies: Allowing Amphibians to Access

A pond edge that allows amphibians to climb ashore. At least one section of the shoreline has a gentle slope of 1:10 or less, with a continuous transition from water to land consisting of muddy and shallow water areas, without any vertical drops or edges in between. Fallen leaves and aquatic plants float on the water surface, and submerged wood and stones are underwater. Near the shore, there is moist muddy ground and low-lying grass. Frogs, tadpoles, and aquatic insects can complete their life cycles in this section.
Avoid: Using vertical pond walls and neat pond edges, installing continuous railings around the pond, keeping the water level fixed and unchanging, clearing fallen leaves and submerged wood to keep the water surface clean.

一段可以爬上岸的池邊。至少有一段岸線的坡度緩到一比十以下,從水中到岸上是連續的泥質與淺水區,中間沒有任何垂直的落差與邊框;水面上漂著落葉與水生植物,水下有沉木與石塊;靠岸處是濕潤的泥地與低矮的草。青蛙、蝌蚪與水生昆蟲可以在這一段完成生活史。避免:使用垂直的池壁與整齊的池緣、在水池周圍設置連續的欄杆、讓水位固定不變、把落葉與沉木清除保持水面乾淨。
