Doyle, P. (1974). Progress made by the snowmobile industry since 1971 in areas of environmental concern. Proceedings of the 1973 snowmobile and Off Road Vehicle Research Symposium, Michigan State University, East Lansing.

Abstract

Results of two industry-funded studies are reported in support of claims that snowmobiles produce negligible impacts on the environment. One project in Wisconsin determined that telemetered deer and rabbits increased movements during snowmobile activity periods, but did not change home range size; another study found minimal impacts of snowmobile use on forest vegetation.
