During the Vietnam War, trampling and burning the flag became a lightning rod for each side.
Interactions between native and invasive species are common in ecosystems that have been disturbed by paving, fencing, trampling and overgrazing.
This paper outlines a set of experiments designed to test macrofracture formation under human and cattle trampling and knapping conditions.
Our objective was to compare burning, grazing, tilling, trampling and clipping wheat stubble fields on over-wintering WSS larval populations.
Trampling and crop raiding by hippos led to early and determined efforts to exterminate them; their hides and meat were also valued.
When he entered the room, a cheering crowd mobbed the desk when he was to speak, trampling and breaking an arrangement of flower pots placed on the floor.
Our objective was to compare burning, grazing, tilling, trampling and clipping wheat stubble fields on changes in total aboveground biomass and weed density.
Here we investigate the effects of simulated moderate grazing, simulated livestock trampling, and of fire on the resulting wind erodibility and dust emissions of the affected soil surfaces.
The result was a deadly cocktail that resulted in the deaths of an estimated 100,000 vertebrates by "intoxication, dehydration, trampling and miring, and promoted a unique conservation of fossils".
Domestic animals, however, can have a deleterious impact by trampling and compacting the soil; this activity can reduce the infiltration of water and damage vegetation, leading to erosion and redistribution of soil materials.
Without apex predators to take down big game such as moose, deer and elk, herds grow and linger in small areas, trampling and chewing flora that a wide variety of other animals need to live.
