The chart illustrates the harmful consequences of tourist wallking to the environment in the countryside.
Overall, the process consists of 9 stages, beginning with trampling, grass becoming flat when tourists step on it and ending with its ramifications on soil and vegetation such as erosion and soil becoming decreased in quality.
The first stage of the process clearly shows that grass becomes flattened because of tourists walking in the area, which then results in the damage to vegetation and soil becoming solid underfoot. Next, because of damaged vegetation plants weaken or cease to reproduce and grow, which are is the reason for reduce in vegetation. Subsequently, reduction in air and water quality in the soil is the result of compacted soil. These together are the main reason for erosion for decreased quality of soil and vegetation.
