GROUND TROOP ACTIVITIES: "INFANTRY"
headline bar

Ground troop activities ("Infantry") - Infantry disturbance was tested by crossing booted soldiers across sites a fixed number of times ensuring that every point had been disturbed (either having been stepped on or had soil directly kicked onto it) at least once. The number of times the soldiers passed across each plot was standardized during treatment. Infantry training is generally low impact and can be repeated at relatively high frequency at appropriate sites.
