Title	Disturbance and recovery of trampled montane grassland and forests in Montana
Creator	Cole, David N.
Contributor	Intermountain Research Station (Ogden, Utah)
Description	Five forested vegetation types and one grassland in western Montana were subjected to experimental trampling. Changes in vegetational cover, number of species, mineral soil exposure, and soil penetration resistance were examined, as were responses of individual species. Deterioration and recovery following various levels of trampling are described, and factors that influence resistance and resilience are noted. Management implications are discussed.
