This decision tool presents recommendations of a long-term study of soil and plant community resistance to, and capacity to recover from, three common types of activities:
- Off-road vehicle traffic ("Track")
- Ground troop activities ("Infantry")
- Livestock, wildlife and recreational horse use ("Livestock")
The study included three gypsic soils:
-Highly gypsic soils ("Dune Margin")
-Partially gypsic soils ("Transition")
-Marginally gypsic soils ("Outcrop")
representative of much of the land area covered by Holloman Air Force Base.Using the decision tool:
There are two ways to use this tool. Either select the soil where training activities are planned and compare the impacts of different activities or select the type of activity, and compare soils. You can toggle between the two approaches by simply clicking on the soil photo or the activity photo.
