| Summary: | During the past two decades vehicular travel through roadless country has increased tremendously. While off-road vehicles (ORVs) provide recreational access to many areas that otherwise would be enjoyed by few, they are causing marked impacts on natural ecosystems, and since many of the most severely afected areas are, like the Big Cypress, quasi-wilderness regions which have been set aside as natural preserves, any such damage is of great concern. | |
| Summary: | With certain constraints, reasonable numbers of ORV's can undoubtedly be used without disrupting the integrity of most ecosystems. Unfortunately, most of the research done to date has involved types of vehicles and terrain not normally encountered in South Florida. In order to develop a more relevant database for decisions on the future of ORV's in the Big Cypress National Preserve, a study was contracted to evaluate ORV impacts and their subsequent recovery rates in the preserve's major habitats. | |
