Q

Upland a way humans have affected it

A

Farming
Advantages
It has shaped the landscape, helped to build local communities and is an important part of local economies.
Disadvantages
Farming may harm the environment.
Trees and other vegetation need to be cleared to provide grazing. This vegetation is important for protecting the landscape from erosion and for providing habitats for wildlife.
The introduction of too many animals leads to overgrazing, which causes soil erosion which may squeeze out wildlife and pollute water sources. For many farmers this way of life is becoming less economically viable.
