How did the Atlantic Slave Trade influence the demographic composition of African ecosystems?
The slave trade triggered extensive soil erosion due to increased mining activities for gold and diamonds.
The massive human loss contributed towards underpopulation in certain regions affecting agricultural practices and land use patterns locally.
The slave trade resulted in large-scale deforestation across Africa for construction of slave forts and ships.
It drastically cooled African climates by reducing carbon dioxide emissions from human activities like cooking fires or farming operations.
