Free-Response Questions

2017 Short Answer 2

“First and most important in the early modern era [1450–1750 C.E.] is the intensified human land use in every world region. Rising human numbers put increasing pressure on the land. Almost invariably [human] expansion caused a reduction in the quantity and diversity of vegetation or, to put it in other terms, a reduction in biomass and biodiversity. That is, sedentary cultivation depended on selection of one or a few favored plant species . . . in place of a variety of grass, shrubs, and trees. . . . Agriculture was and continues to be the single most important means by which humans change the world’s lands and its ecosystems. John F. Richards, historian, The Unending Frontier: An Environmental History of the Early Modern World, 2003.

a) Identify and explain ONE historically specific example of intensified human land use in the period 1450-1750 C.E. that would support the author’s argument.
b) Identify and explain ONE historically specific example from the period before 1450 C.E. in which humans interacted with the environment in ways similar to those described in the passage.
c) Identify and explain ONE late-twentieth century development that likely explains historians’ interest in the subject of the passage.
