Rana coreana was previously included in this species as a subspecies.

[4] Favoring lowlands, it is seldom encountered at elevations of more than 600 m.[1] A habitat generalist, Rana amurensis favors open ground, but is also found in both deciduous and coniferous forests.

According to the IUCN, the chief threat to the species is habitat loss, as it is only mildly tolerant of disturbance.

[5] Rana amurensis favors beetles, and consumes 1.2–2.5 g (0.0026–0.0055 lb) of food per day.

Their breeding season is very early, starting in late February in Korea.
