Demise of Nasca Civilization Caused by Deforestation?

Scientists at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom have come up with an intriguing proposal.

While being aware that the Nasca civilization ended suddenly between the 6th and 7th centuries, scientists at the University of Cambridge in the UK have recently revealed that the Nasca demise was related to deforestation.

This was due to their clearing of huarango trees, whose deep roots played a key role in regulating moisture and soil richness. Thus, removing so many trees eventually caused a tipping point to be reached, after which the ecosystem was irreversibly damaged and the climate became more and more dry.

So many people are concerned about the destruction of the Amazon Rainforest. However, most of North America used to be forest.
