  • Die omgewingsimpak van voetslaanpaaie in Suid-Afrika The environmental impact of hiking trails in South Africa
  • Examines the environmental impact of the establishment of hiking trails in South African wilderness areas since 1973. - (AJC)
  • Dendrogeomorphological analyses on exposed roots along two mountains hiking trails in the central Italian Alps
  • The study area is located in upper Valtellina (Central Italian Alps). The aim of this study is to estimate the erosion rate along the 2 trails and to study the effects of walking and foot trampling on tree growth, by using dendrogeomorphological
  • techniques. Since the 2 trails have different characteristics, different methods are used.
  • Historical and projected climate trends along the Appalachian Trail, USA, and the implications for trail usage

  • Observed historical (1895-2008) and projected future (to 2099) seasonal temperature and precipitation trends were examined along the Appalachian Trail (AT), a 3500 km continuous hiking trail in the eastern United States. The AT has generally warmed
  • increased more in the northern than southern AT. Temperature and precipitation are projected to increase for all regions during all seasons in the future. Implications of these changes are discussed with respect to hiker experience and trail management.
  • Sediment flux and compaction trends on off-road vehicle (ORV) and other trails in an Appalachian forest setting
  • measurements was collected from trails and trail-adjacent forest land at 4 ORV and, for comparison, 2 non-ORV rail study sites (hiking, horse-riding). Repeat measurements were made at the height and the end of the ORV season, and near the end of the off-season
  • The influence of soil properties on degradation of mountain hiking trails at Grovelsjon

  • A predicted insulation Index (Iclp) for clothing was used to assess the clothing insulation required to maintain thermal comfort during a mountain hike. The study area was the Łysogóry Range of central Poland’s Świętokrzyskie Mts. The predicted

  • spring day. The results of this study might prove useful as hiking trips are planned in other forested low mountain areas of Central Europe. – (BJ).

  • Boulder trail from a subglacial earthquake, Äspö, Sweden
  • A subglacial earthquake has been defined by a palaeoseismic boulder trail and associated primary and secondary fault and fracture structures. It occurred a few years before final deglaciation, which occurred some 12,000 years BP. A palaeoseismic
  • boulder trail from a subglacial earthquake represents a new type of palaeoseismic phenomenon not previously described.

  • Erosional impact of hikers, horses, motorcycles, and off-road bicycles on mountain trails in Montana
  • Results of this study on two trails in and around Gallatin National Forest in western Montana, USA, suggest that wet trails are more susceptible to erosion damage than dry trails, and that horses are responsible for more sediment removal than hikers
  • Measuring trail erosion with a 35 mm camera
  • Authors describe and discuss the accuracy of a simple photogrammetric system designed to monitor trail degradation by generating digital terrain models (DTMs) of sample plots
  • camera from 2.4 m above the ground. A portable stereo camera platform provided photogrammetric parameters to determine elevation data from the photographs, without use of ground control. DTMS allowed very accurate estimates of simulated trail erosion
  • Determination of most appropriate distance between water diversions on skid trails in the mountainous forest, north of Iran
  • Surface runoff and soil loss were studied on skid trails in Nav district (North of Iran) after each rainfall event. Two skid trails were selected in this study. Two levels of slope (10, 31%) and three distances among water diversions (25, 50, 75 m
  • ) were applied in three replications. The results confirm that slope steepness is a primary factor in controlling surface runoff and soil loss on skid trails. Therefore, reducing skid trail slope during construction and rehabilitation of these trails

  • The article deals with the problem of appropriate role of relief and geomorphology in nature interpretation in the area and on the nature trails in the Triglav National Park. The six most famous nature trails and areas of interest do not prove
  • a high enough quality in this respect. The worst example is the situation in the famous Valley of Seven Triglav Lakes. Some excellent examples of geomorphological nature trails in Alps, not far from Slovenia, show that, in the respect, a lot of work
