- Abstract
The article investigates the impact of treading and burrowing by birds and mammals on the life of plants in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is evident that the activities of vertebra fauna such as trampling, burrowing and manuring can directly and indirectly affect the plants on any area. It is revealed that these activities can destruct plant growth and too much exposure to these kind of animal disturbance are crucial to the safety of plants. Moreover, manure may help the growth of plants but too much exposure can cause damage because of the high toxic acids it produces.
