Jarvinean, J. A., & Schmidt, W.D. (14-15 June 1971). Snowmobile use and winter mortality of small mammals. Paper presented at the M. Chubb, ed. Proceedings of the 1971 Snowmobile and Off the road Vehicle Research Symposium, East Lansing, MI. Michigan State University.

Abstract

Trapping results in Minnesota showed increased winter mortality of small mammals beneath snow-mobile compacted snowfields. It is suggested that compaction inhibits mammal movements beneath snow and subjects subnivean organisms to greater temperature stress. More information is necessary.
