  • Widespread agricultural land use by the mid-Holocene is evidenced by altered fire regimes that may have transformed vegetation structure and species composition across many regions, with woodland ecosystems from the Mediterranean to the Tropics increasingly recognized as bio-cultural legacies of long histories of prior human use.

    “Widespread agricultural land use by mid-Holocene is further evidenced by altered fire regimes that may have transformed vegetation structure and species composition across many regions, with woodland ecosystems from the Mediterranean to the Tropics increasingly recognized as the bio-cultural legacies of long histories of prior human use (50, 74, 78–84).”

  • As agriculture continues to intensify and migration to cities depopulates rural landscapes, lands less suited to industrial-scale production are being abandoned in some regions, enabling large-scale forest recoveries, especially where governance systems support this.

    “As agriculture continues to intensify and migration to cities depopulates rural landscapes, lands less suited to industrial-scale production are being abandoned in some regions, enabling large-scale forest recoveries, especially where governance systems support this (84, 105, 106).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
