Spatial relationships between plants potentially used in the past for raw materials and ancient settlements of different sizes and spatial arrangements remain poorly understood.
“While the distribution of tree species exploited for food is relatively well documented18–20, the spatial relationships between plants that could potentially be used in the past for raw materials and ancient settlements of different sizes and spatial arrangements remain poorly understood.”
From Ecological legacies of pre-columbian settlements evident in palm clusters of neotropical mountain forests (2026) · cites this paper as [18]
Analogous processes of human environmental modification have been documented for animal species in the Late Pleistocene and for plant communities in the construction of artificial forest islands in Amazonian savannahs and in the deliberate enrichment of palm species in Amazonian forests.
“analogous processes have been documented for animal species in the Late Pleistocene37, and, more relevantly for plant communities, in the construction of approximately 4700 artificial forest islands within seasonally flooded Amazonian savannahs during the Early Holocene38”

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.
