Slightly related, the book I am currently reading is about the Juan Fernandez Islands. They are part of Chile. The book talks about how the local climate changed there with the introduction of herbivores and logging. The main focus is on settlement and development, but there are bits about how agriculture changed there because of human involvement.
They are some of the few islands in the pacific that had never been settled until the European conquest.
Very interesting, thanks.

If you like that, find the book Changes in the Land. It’s a famous and classic archaeology book. Very good.
