The flow chart illustrates the reason-consequence bond from trampling to erosion and decreased quality of soil and vegetation as a result. However, there are many steps which can lead to this, so it is extremely important to know this structure in order to prevent negative effects from human activity.
First of all, the scheme starts with trampling, which means flattened grass due to tourists walking in certain areas. Hence, it leads to damaged flora or compacted ground, then the first one can become the reason for problems with the reproduction of plants, and they become weaker as well. The second one follows a reduction in air and water quality in soil, which also provokes the situation when plants do not reproduce and grow. Finally, all these things can cause a reduction in vegetation.
Secondly, bad quality of all necessary things for plants in the ground causes increased erosion when water runs off the land, which also leads to reduced vegetation. Finally, all previous steps end at the point where erosion occurs and the quality of soil and flora decreases.
