Summary/Abstract: Data of the research of two terrestrial amphibian species – common spade foot and green toad – from the territory adjoining to the Dnieper–Donbass channel are presented. The both populations are valid and stable. The high number of both young amphibians and mature individuals with high reproductive potential (high absolute reproductivity) are the affirmation. Morpho physiological indexes of the animals testify their normal physiological state. It has positive influence on the individuals’ and populations’ vital functions. The Dnieper–Donbass channel positively influences on the terrestrial amphibians by creation of new habitats and conditions for spreading.
