    Recreation ecology is the scientific study of human nature Ecology ecological relationships in recreation contexts. Previous studies have focused primarily on the impacts of visitors recreationists and tourists on recreation resources. While studies of human trampling can be traced back to the late 1920s, a substantial body of recreation ecology literature did not accumulate until the 1970s when visitation to the outdoors soared, threatening the ecology of natural and semi natural areas. Research Resource elements examined include soil , vegetation , water , and more recently, wildlife and microbe s, with the majority of investigations conducted on trails and recreation sites. Use impact relationships, environmental resistance and resilience, management effectiveness, monitoring techniques, and carrying capacity are some of the major themes in recreation ecology. Study results have been applied to inform site and visitor management decisions and to provide scientific input to management planning frameworks such as Limits of Acceptable Change LAC Visitor Experience and Resource Protection VERP Ecotourism Recent growth of ecotourism has prompted a new batch of recreation ecology studies focusing on developing countries where ecotourism is aggressively promoted. There is an increasing concern that ecotourism is not inherently sustainable and, if unchecked, would generate Tourism carrying capacity substantial impacts to ecotourism destinations which are often fragile ecosystem s.

  1. Ecology of contexts

    ijas 005 ijas0050280.htm broken link date December 2010 ref Human ecology In Child development ...The ecology of contexts is a term used in many disciplines and refers to the dynamic interplay of contexts and demands that constrain and define an entity. Environmental ecology An agroecosystem exists amid contexts including climate , soil , Plant breeding plant genetics , Agricultural policy government policies , and the personal beliefs and predilections of the agriculturalist. Not only are these contexts too numerous to list in their entirety for any agroecosystem, but their interactions are so complex it is impossible to perfectly characterize a system, let alone predict the effect a given perturbation will have on the whole. ref name Bland&Bell At the same time, all of these contexts are dynamic, albeit at wildly diverging time scales, so the ecology of contexts for an agroecosystem is fundamentally mutable. An awareness of the ecology of contexts is helpful for agroecologists , as the nearly axiomatic acceptance dynamic, and thereby unperfectable, nature of agroecosystems precludes the often damaging notion of a best or ideal approach to agroecosystem management as well as an awareness of the complexity of the response that can result from any perturbation of the system.
