Abstract

The valley is largely cleared and an initial date for burning and slope degradation is 26 000yr BP, based on charcoal in slopewash. Casuarina is widely grown after 2900yr BP and changes since then support the supposition that quite recent expansion to higher altitudes is taking place. -from Authors
