"Why did the Mayans civilization collapse? A new study points to deforestation and climate change" by Joseph Stromberg. Commonlit.




What connection does the author draw between deforestation and the Maya’s



abandonment of the peninsula? *




After years or deforestation, the Maya people ran out of lumber and resources used to



construct their cities.




Deforestation resulted in a drought that made it difficult for crops to thrive and



provide the Maya people with necessary resources.




Through deforestation, the Maya people reduced shade cover, which created a hot



climate they no longer wanted to live in.




The Maya people burned too many trees while creating lime, poisoning the air quality



with smoke released from the fires.
