GROUND TROOP ACTIVITIES: "LIVESTOCK"
Livestock, wildlife and recreational horse use ("Livestock") - Livestock disturbance was tested by riders guiding horses back and forth across test sites ensuring that every point had been disturbed (either having been stepped on or had soil directly kicked onto it) at least once. The number of times the horses passed across each plot was standardized during treatment. Livestock training is generally low impact and can be repeated at relatively high frequency at appropriate sites.
