minus-squareripcordlinkfedilink18•edit-29 months agoThere’s lots of evidence of domestication, cultivation, tending over the last 13,000+ years. But calling it a “planted forest” - like as if the majority of plants out in the Amazon were seeded/planted manually by humans - seems like a huge stretch.
minus-squareripcordlinkfedilink10•9 months agoOk, but that’s still really far off from being a “planted forest”.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•9 months agoThere probably different zones, deeper ones are natural and authentic, zones at the borders will be mostly planted. Its probably fair to call the amazon a collection of forests and other biomes rather then “a forest” but i am no ecologist so don’t quote me on that.
