Well, it's actually pretty simple: Civilizations tend to arise in regions that are inhabitable and capable of sustaining life. See, after the Neolithic Revolution, human beings began practicing settled agriculture and pastoralization. This means instead of wandering around hunting and gathering food,...
these relationships could also be significantly affected by habitat-specific factors17. When considering local plant communities, CWMs are likely shaped by soil conditions18,19, microclimate20, human land use21, disturbance22, biotic interactions23(e.g. herbivory or competition24) and evolutionary histo...
The present study examined the regional variation in forage quality properties and identified the primary contributing factors in natural grasslands on the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In this region, forage quality of grasslands was generally high compared with other regions, as indicated by the high...

. The demographic patterns inferred from SPDs of calibrated radiocarbon dates are compared quantitatively with several paleoclimatic proxies (cave, lake, marine records) collected at different latitudes in order to assess the impact of climate change on human population in different regions (northern, ...
Climate change alters the future of natural floristic regions of deep evolutionary origins Article Introduction Trees are pivotal to the biosphere and human well-being, e.g., via carbon sequestration and habitat provision for plants and animals1,2,3,4,5. However, globally, the majority of tree...

While the negative impacts of fuel accumulation are commonly recognized as an indirect consequence of fire suppression, integrating the impacts of the suppression bias would improve our understanding of fire-human relationships, and ongoing changes in fire activity. Part of the solution to coexisting ...
Recurrent fires in these densely populated regions have affected crops, led to food shortages for livestock, impacted the economy, and enveloped towns and cities in toxic haze and smoke17. Large-scale natural climate modes, such as El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), also play a major role...
