…melt in a thousand years. That's a human scale of impacting on an environment. Wildfires, forest fires. Yes, although geographers like Carl Sauer have actually argued that there is no such thing on this planet as a natural grassland, and that all grasslands…

…both by meandering rivers and human beings, is to create a more, a less herbaceous, more annual, more ephemeral kind of biotome. Carl Sauer, the geographer, said, we found the planet a climaxed forest, and we will leave it a weedy lot. That's what he…

…are also theorists who hold that human burning then contributes to the appearance of the grasslands and stabilizes them. Carl Sauer of the University of California at Berkeley Eminent geographer, takes the position that there are no natural grasslands on…

…what is called uninhabited land, so called predatory species can move in there and that's where the speciation is taking place. Carl Sauer estimated that before the advent of culture, of human culture, it was that the meandering of rivers was being forced…
