Assessing the vegetation and soil shear tester (VASST) as a tool to measure vegetated soil shear strength
The degradation of military training lands due to vehicular traffic presents a challenge for land managers trying to optimize training capacity while reducing impacts. The Optimal Allocation of Land for Training and Non-Training Uses (OPAL) Program aims to provide a model for land managers to …
