Ecosystem impacts by the Ancestral Puebloans of Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, USA.

The Ancestral Puebloans occupied Chaco Canyon, in what is now the southwestern USA, for more than a millennium and harvested useful timber and fuel from the trees of distant forests as well as local woodlands, especially juniper and pinyon pine. These pinyon juniper woodland products were an essenti...
