Effects of ski piste preparation on alpine vegetation
Summary 1 Ski resorts increasingly affect alpine ecosystems through enlargement of ski
pistes, machine‐grading of ski piste areas and increasing use of artificial snow. 2 In 12
Swiss alpine ski resorts, we investigated the effects of ski piste management on vegetation
structure and composition using a pairwise design of 38 plots on ski pistes and 38 adjacent
plots off‐piste. 3 Plots on ski pistes had lower species richness and productivity, and lower
abundance and cover of woody plants and early flowering species, than reference plots …
