Abstract

This study looked at the number of impacts as well as the timing of impacts seasonally. In general there is a higher compaction rate on wet soil. A threshold level was observed in the mpact range from 8 to 32 passes. Grasses and forbs showed a low agreement with seasonal variation in impact, while shrubs and soil compaction rates showed a high agreement with early seasonal impacts having a greater effect.
