Descrição: Trail studies made in forests of central Montana and adjacent Wyoming show that (1) trail widths increase slowly with increasing traffic, (2) trails used by horses are deeper but not wider than those used by hikers alone, (3) a relatively narrow (1-2 m) band of vegetation at the trail side is affected, and (4) some plants disappear at trail sides, some are largely unaffected, and others invade those sites. Similar plant responses can be expected at camp-grounds and other high-use areas.
