More MTB impact Studies

Former MTBA president, Gillian Duncan has informed us of 2 more studies into the soil impacts of MTBing

"Hello everyone

Gap Creek Trails Alliance has just received the final report from Dr Stu Clement of a scientific study of Gap Creek Circuit over 12 months. Soil erosion was measures at 20 transects, finding that 10 points did not change, 5 points had minor change, 2 noticeable change and 3 significant change. The amount of soil loss at these significant loss points would fit into a garden trowel, ie about 3cm loss.

The final report is attached here in a small version.

Also attached is the MTBA study of two MTB trails around Adelaide. Also as a small file.

I was responsibile for instigating this research and the design of the methodology, when president of MTBA."

I've put the files into the NSWMTB wiki if anyone wants a read http://wiki.nswmtb.asn.au/index.php?title=Main_P...
