Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the contrasting impact of foot and horse traffic on hiking trails, a subject of vital concern for the preservation of natural landscapes. The author, a dedicated researcher, meticulously quantifies the differing effects of human and equestrian use on various tra…il surfaces within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Given the rising popularity of hiking and horseback riding, and the resulting strain on the environment, this book is particularly timely. The study reveals that horse traffic leads to significantly greater trail deterioration than foot traffic, especially in delicate ecosystems. Horse hooves loosen soil, while human feet tend to compact it. The weight distribution and impact force of horses are also significant factors in trail damage. This book is a valuable contribution to the field of trail management. Its findings provide essential insights for park rangers, conservationists, and outdoor enthusiasts. By understanding the differential impacts of various types of use, we can make informed decisions about how to preserve our cherished trails while also allowing people to enjoy nature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
