Abstract :
Sandy prairie over-grazing and tourism passengers directly to forage, soil was trampled damages the soil compaction, the original structure and some physical properties, causing damage to vegetation growth environment, cannot normal growth, grassland phenomenon also increasingly serious soil erosion, so through investigation the soil quality, tourist traffic control etc. In order to research the tourism on FengNing sandy soil environment destruction, grasslands on vegetation influence. We in Hebei province FengningXian Uses one kind of approach to investigate the paddock grassland vegetation, soil use weighing method survey soil porosity and soil bulk density, through comparing the tourist season soil physical properties and vegetation status changes, and tourist quantity size to investigate local grassland ecological environmental bearing capacity, determining the appropriate passenger, assist the scenic spot in guarantee no damage to the local tourism, the condition of creating maximum economic benefits.
