Effects of Tactical Vehicle Activity on the Mammals, Birds, and Vegetation at Fort Lewis, Washington.

Abstract

A field study was conducted at Fort Lewis, WA, to investigate the effects of Army tracked vehicle training on the resident mammal, bird, and plant populations. This report: (1) describes preliminary indications of ecological differences between selected areas used for vehicle training and areas undisturbed by training, (2) documents the procedures used to obtain this information, and (3) analyzes Fort Lewis' ecosystem to verify the effects of training activities on ecosystems examined in previous research.
