Question

How does trampling affect plant growth?

Answer 1

Trampling:

1. The usage of the same path trails over a prolonged period of time is referred to as trampling of the soil.
2. Regular trampling of any land containing vegetation causes above-the-groud plant parts to wither and break, thus affecting photosynthesis.
3. It affects the compactness of the soil and impacts seed germination and underground root systems.
4. It accelerates soil erosion and leads to a decrease in plant diversity.
