What are anthropogenic biomes?

Anthropogenic ("Human Erigination") Biomes are biomes such as a jungle or desert, primarily consisting of features influenced by man. Five main anthropogenic biomes are dense settlements, villages, crop soils, pauses and wooded biomes. Anthropogenic biomes can also be known as "anthromes" or "human biomes". Since extensive industrialization in the 18th century, anthropogenic biomas have been clear and relatively large bioma, directly next to traditional biomas. In anthropogenic biomes, many of the larger or more dangerous animals were completely erased. This includes all Pleistocene megafauna, wolves in the large area of ​​Europe and North America and carnivorous marsupials in Australia. If a certain animal is a danger to human beings, our livestock or crops, the tendency to be removed. Only recently have the effort to protect.

There are many animals. Many birds, especially pigeons and sparrows, are quite successful even in areas with very high pop densityLace, such as central areas. Birds who have the strength of flight are easier to avoid death in the hands of people than slower ground animals. Another animal successful in anthropogenic biomes is a squirrel whose cuteness has earned him the general acceptance of the human populations. The raccoon is somewhat less welcome, but still common in anthropogenic biomes. The raccoon crawls at night and uses their sufficient intelligence to get into the garbage bins.

Of course, the biggest winners of the transition to anthropogenic biomes are explicitly associated with humans, while the largest losers are people under food. On factory farms, millions of pigs and chickens are maintained in non -hygienic slackets and stalls. Many of these animals never see daylight until they are taken outside to defeat. On the other hand, animals stored by humans such as pets or allies such as dogs and cats belong to the limitEven the most successful inhabitants of anthropogenic biomes. It is estimated that there are about 400 million dogs and 300 million cats in the world.
