Deploying environmental monitoring equipment in a mesic (between wet and dry) forest in western Puerto Rico. Characterizing fine-scale moisture gradients between dry and wet forests is critical to understand which habitats are likely to remain suitable for vulnerable amphibian species as the climate changes.
