This created large areas where the soil and vegetation would be changed forever. The introduction of pigs also changed the landscape and thrive because there was so much vegetation for them to eat.

Every year‚ butterflies go through an annual migration towards the south for the winter. This is because of the climate change butterflies cannot sustain. This route is over 3‚000 miles one way‚ however the migration is a two-way process.

Though this process may seem as a natural reaction of butterflies‚ how does it happen‚ where do they go‚ and how do they travel

These included psycho-evolutionary models that suggested that humans prefer savanna-like landscapes characterized by open glades with smooth ground texture‚ framed by clumps of mature trees (e.g.‚ Ulrich 1986)‚ and that vegetation types associated with more biodiverse landscapes such as rough ground cover‚ woodland edge‚ or

through strip cropping. In this method‚ grass and other plants that grow close to the ground are planted in strips between bands of grain crops. The strip crops help hold water and prevent the soil from being carried away. Using trees and natural vegetation Some farmers control soil erosion by planting trees on the edge of fields. These trees serve as windbreaks. When strong winds blows‚ plants that grow near the fields are not disturbed. These plants also help hold the soil so it will not be eroded
