Recent Off-Road Vehicle Scientific Research Reviews

     There are hundreds of scientific articles on the environmental and social impacts of motorized recreation.  Luckily, there has been a recent effort to summarize their impacts into a number of literature reviews, annotated bibliographies, and best management practices.  Here we present some of the most current summaries of the literature on off-road vehicles and as well as annotated bibliographies and best management practices (BMPs) based upon this growing literature.  Also, Wildlands CPR continues to maintain and update a searchable annotated bibliographic database of over 20,000 citations documenting the physical and ecological effects of roads and off-road vehicles, and each quarter we summarize the research of one topic into “BiblioNotes.”   Below is a chronological listing of recent scientific reviews of the literature, summaries of each document, and links to the full document when available.
