2021, Journal of Environmental ManagementCitation Excerpt :This study is restricted to resource impacts associated with the areal extent of trampling impacts, including the size and area of vegetation loss on overnight campsites. A common management objective is to minimize aggregate camping impacts through actions that reduce the “footprint” or areal extent of intensive camping impact, in part because smaller sites have less vegetation loss, soil exposure and erosion, or damaged and felled trees (Cole, 1989, 1992; Marion, 2016; Marion and Farrell, 2002; Smith and Newsome, 2002). Campsite and experimental trampling studies indicate the majority of herbaceous vegetation is lost at initial and low levels of camping activity, with diminishing per capita losses as use increases to moderate and high levels (Cole, 1995; Cole and Monz, 2003; Growcock and Pickering, 2011; Marion et al., 2016).
The efficacy of combined educational and site management actions in reducing off-trail hiking in an urban-proximate protected area
2017, Journal of Environmental ManagementCitation Excerpt :A common strategy to achieve a balance between recreation and conservation goals is through provision of a recreational infrastructure of trails and recreation sites that concentrate traffic on hardened durable substrates (Eagles et al., 2002; Marion, 2016; Marion and Leung, 2004). Many of these facilities are sustainably located and designed to shield and protect sensitive natural resources from visitor pressure (Marion, 2016; Marion and Farrell, 2002). However, the effectiveness of this spatial containment strategy is compromised when visitors travel away from the formal infrastructure in sufficient numbers to create informal trails and sites (Cole et al., 2008).
