Article Synopsis
- Humans have changed ecosystems and biodiversity around the world for a long time, but we don’t fully understand how these changes have happened over time.
- Researchers studied a lot of pollen samples to see how plant communities have changed for thousands of years, finding that differences in plant types and numbers have varied across the globe.
- In some areas, as humans impacted the land, biodiversity increased, while in other places, it decreased, showing that humans have both helped and harmed plant diversity over the last 8,000 years.
