Visitor Impact Vegetation Study
Patton EF. 1978. Visitor Impact Vegetation Study. National Park Service
This is a follow up of a quantitative evaluation of the effects of visitor use on the vegetation of backcountry campsites at Bandelier National Monument, NM, from 1976 by J. A. Rose. Vegetation dominance and frequency were analyzed to determine if overuse was occurring. Includes a list of plants encountered along line intercept transects. Only three of the initial seven campsites were evaluated due to campsite closure, flooding, or removal.
