Sampling

The sites were selected by the Agricultural Research Institute, Council of Agriculture. None were selected by random sampling.

Quality Control

All data were double-checked by the surveyors and the project manager. 所有資料皆由團隊人員確認兩次以上，並與調查員核對。

Method steps

1. Bird survey: Choose any 15-minute period between 15 minutes before sunrise and 1 hour before sunset (excluding the 11am-1pm period) to record the birds seen in the target agricultural area using the map drawing method. Survey dates should avoid bad weather such as rain and strong winds, and preferably be conducted on sunny days. The survey method adopts the "map drawing method," and the survey range is the target field area. Each bird survey lasts for 15 minutes, recording all the birds heard and seen, and marking their resting locations on the map. 鳥類調查：於日出前15分鐘至日落前一小時之間，任擇15分鐘(避開中午時段11am-1pm)，以地圖描繪法記錄目標農田區內出現的鳥類。調查日期避開雨天及強風等惡劣天氣，盡量選晴天調查。調查方法採「地圖描繪法」，調查範圍為目標田區範圍。每一處的鳥類調查執行15分鐘，記錄所有聽到及看到的鳥類個體，並將停棲地點記錄於地圖上。
2. Amphibians and reptiles: Visual encounter surveys are conducted in combination with audio strip transects. A convenient and representative walking route (transect line) is planned, and the long-term monitoring station's range and surrounding areas are systematically traversed. Depending on the agricultural land type, different suggestions are made. For example, for small rice fields in Chishang, walk around the outer edge of the field ridge; for the complex rice fields in Fuli, plan a path that covers a relatively complete range of species during the survey time; for orchards, an alternative route can be chosen if it is not possible to walk around the field. 兩棲類與爬行類：採目視遇測法(Visual encounter surveys)，並搭配鳴叫計數法(Audio strip transects)，規劃一條方便行走且具代表性的路線(穿越線)，且有系統地走過長期監測站範圍內及周邊區域。依農地類型有不同的建議，池上的小型稻田：繞行外圍田梗一整圈；富里複合式稻田：規劃調查時間內能走完，且能記錄到涵蓋相對完整的物種的路徑；果園：通常未必有辦法繞行一圈，可挑選適合的替代路線。
