    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.

It embraces both biophony sounds of biological origin and geophony sounds of geophysical origin , exclusively. ref Pijanowski, B., Villanueva Rivera, L. J., Dumyahn, S. L., Farina, A., Krause, B.
