Excerpt from Recreational Trampling Effects on Six Habitat Types in Western Montana Nevertheless, because past studies have applied tram pling for only one season, and because little attempt has been made to integrate the results of these studies, it seemed worthwhile to report the initial results of this study (after one season of trampling) and interpret them in light of earlier comparable work. The objectives of this paper, then, are to (1) review and integrate the results of previous single-season studies of trampling and (2) describe the effects of one season of experimental trampling on six vegetation types in western Montana.
