A national park revisited. Assessing change in recreational use of Arthur's Pass National Park
Attendance ; Enquiry ; Form of transport ; Motivation ; Nature park ; New Zealand ; Period of stay ; Social change ; Tourism
Using a replicative format the paper documents the findings of two visitation studies undertaken in that park fifteen years apart. The findings suggest that, despite some strong elements of stability, there are indications of considerable change
in use patterns at this site. The data presented support the thesis that the park is undergoing a transition initially shaped by wider social and economic pressures and manifest by increasing use for commercial purposes and an intensification of use.

A sediment core recovered from Lost Park provides palynological evidence for postglacial vegetational and environmental change in the central Front Range of Colorado. The A. identifies an interval within the Lost Park core where the pollen spectra
resemble those at modern sites and then use the modern climate data at the other sites as proxy for the Lost Park paleoclimate during this time.
Effects of anthropogenic disturbances on paramo vegetation in Podocarpus National Park, Ecuador
This research was conducted in Podocarpus National Park, southern Ecuador. It was designed to help determine how different combinations of simulated anthropogenic disturbances modify the structure and composition of shrub and grass paramo

Fire history of mixed-conifer forests on the North Rim, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
disturbance and age structure by elevation over time on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. Specifically, long-term fire histories were reconstructed in order to compare fire frequency during 3 eras : pre-Euro-American settlement (prior
