The Effects of Low-Pressure Wheeled Vehicles on Plant Communities and Soils at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.
An off-road vehicle test utilizing a smooth-tired Rolligon weighing approximately 25,000 lb. was conducted at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. Vehicle impact on the vegetation and terrain was documented at 32 stations selected as representative of the coastal tundra terrain. Twenty-seven stations were of single...
