The Human Effect
People were a big part of the climate. The Norse people cleared forests for farmland and wood which sometimes led soil to erosion (the land wore away). In Greenland they tried to farm like they did in Scandinavia, but the land wasn't as rich so overtime this damaged the environment for Greenland.
How Humans Affected the Land
Humans had a big impact on the environment. Norse people cleared forests for farming and to get wood for buildings and houses, which sometimes caused soil erosion, when the land wears away and becomes less fertile. In places like Greenland, they tried to farm the same way they did in Scandinavia, but the land wasn’t as rich. Over time, this damaged the environment and made it harder to survive.
