| Abstract/Contents: | "Surrounded by the Capitol, the Washington Monument, the Smithsonian Institute and other museums, the National Mall is used as a recreational area by those who live and work in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area and is a popular picnic and relaxation spot for tourists visiting the U.S. capital. In addition, the Mall is the site of a variety of of national celebration events, demonstrations, and marches. The National Park Service (NPS) maintains the Mall and recently has been concerned that intensity of use threatens the sustainability of this national resource." Due to the consistent traffic the NPS decided to commission a study to determine the effects of traffic on the soil physical properties and ground cover vegetation at the National Mall. The research methods and results are discussed. Recommendations are given pertaining to further research of the impact that traffic has on the National Mall's grounds and also alternative events preparation. |
