Human activity

Research by Levis et al. has stated that Pre-Colombian societies have had a persistent effect on Amazonian forest composition.¹

However, the results from this recent research have drawn criticism from other scientists.² Among other arguments, it is stated that this recent research ignores the naturally patchy distribution of many Amazonian plant species. In the paper, many Amazonian tree species are considered domesticated, while they are naturally abundant in specific places regardless of human intervention.
