Robinson Crusoe Island is 667 km from the continent and approximately four million years old; Alejandro Selkirk Island is an additional 181 km west and only one million years old. The natural impacts of subsidence and erosion have shaped the landscapes of these islands, resulting in progressive changes to their subtropical vegetation. The older island has undergone more substantial changes, due to both natural causes and human impacts. After the discovery of Robinson Crusoe Island in 1574, people began cutting down forests for lumber to construct boats and homes, for firewood, and to make room for pastures. Domesticated plants and animals were introduced, some of which have since become feral or invasive, causing damage to the local vegetation. The wealth of historical records on these activities provides a detailed chronicle of how human beings use their environment for survival in a new ecosystem. This book offers an excellent case study on the impacts that people can have on the resources of an oceanic island. . 606 $aHistorical geography 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aEcology  606 $aEnvironmental geography 606 $aEthnology 606 $aOceanography 606 $aLatin American History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/718020 606 $aHistorical Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J22010 606 $aConservation Biology/Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19150 606 $aEnvironmental Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J19010 606 $aSocial Anthropology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12030 606 $aOceanography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G25005 607 $aLatin America$xHistory 615 0$aHistorical geography. 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 0$aEcology . 615 0$aEnvironmental geography. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aOceanography. 615 14$aLatin American History. 615 24$aHistorical Geography. 615 24$aConservation Biology/Ecology. 615 24$aEnvironmental Geography. 615 24$aSocial Anthropology. 615 24$aOceanography. 676 $a983 700 $aStuessy$b Tod F$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0531513 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910416095003321 996 $aEnvironmental History of Oceanic Islands$92046949 997 $aUNINA
