Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Geographers explore both the physical properties of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it. They also examine how human culture interacts with the natural environment and the way that locations and places can have an impact on people. Geography seeks to understand where things are found, why they are there, and how they develop and change over time. Read more...

I wonder if this is also related to how humans have ruined some old forests' flora and fauna with improper replantation. Not sure where I saw this, but another article was suggesting that the way we have artificially replanted has led to less biodiversity due to every tree growing at the same time (thus limiting light and "food" for other organisms).
Of course, this wouldn't necessarily lead to a global change, but could be one of the pieces thst contribute to it. Even if we set up high-tech and efficient carbon farms, the planet will still struggle to maintain biodiversity...
