Assessing the impact of human trampling on vegetation: a systematic review and meta-analysis of experimental evidence

2014-03-28

Abstract excerpt

Vegetation trampling resulting from recreation can adversely impact natural habitats, leading to the loss of vegetation and the degradation of plant communities. A considerable primary literature exists on this topic, therefore it is important to assess whether this accumulated evidence can be used to reach general conclusions concerning vegetation vulnerability to inform conservation management decisions. Experim...
