摘要：

The ecological impact of recreation in woodlands and forests is now a subject of considerable world-wide interest. However, there are few studies examining the effects of recreation on woodland vegetation and soils in Britain. This paper quantifies the impact of controlled experimental trampling on three different woodland ground flora stands in lowland urban fringe W10 Quercus robur—Pteridium aquilinum—Rubus fruticosus woodlands (Rodwell, J.S. (1991) British Plant Communities I: Woodland and Scrub. Cambridge University Press) near Coventry, West Midlands.
