Soil erosion was limited to specific areas-the older Poike peninsula, a small northwest coastal section, and slopes of some smaller volcanic cones-and there is no evidence of widespread erosion that would have disrupted agriculture.
“Soil erosion occurred in limited areas (i.e., on the older Poike peninsula (35)(36)(37), along a small section of the northwest coast, and on the slopes of some of the smaller volcanic cones); however, there is no evidence of widespread soil erosion that could have interfered with agricultural production (38).”

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.
