Change in Indonesia from 1700 to 2000

Populated woodlands still predominate Indonesia. Croplands, rice villages, pastoral villages, and urban cities are what make up the anthromes of Indonesia. Biomes are what generally make up an area, it shows the climate there and vegetation. Anthromes show the human interactions with the environment. Anthromes is better when you are looking for the spatial extent of the vegetation of the planet because biomes do not show what humans did to the earth.

Anthromes are also known as human biomes define global patterns and human interactions. Indonesia in 1700 is mostly remote, populated, and residential woodlands. There are also some crop land in Java and Bali but most of it is residential woodlands.

In 1800 you can see in Java there is an increase in of crop land, what use to be woodlands are now croplands. This shows the increase of population because people are cutting off the trees and

replacing them with farm lands in order them to produce more food. There are also some urban cities In Java. Other areas of Indonesia did not change at all, this show that most of the people live in Java, Jakarta.

1900

In 1900 you can see there are no more croplands or woodlands. It is now all villages; most of them are rice villages. This is a remarkable period where Jakarta is populated with a lot of people. We can see more croplands forming in the Gulf of Bon and also some urban cities too. There are also some Urban cities Timor and Brunel, this shows the growing population in all of Indonesia not just Java.

2000

In 2000 there is a huge change; there are urban cities everywhere, there is also an increase of croplands throughout Indonesia. Java is now officially covered with rice, pastoral, and irrigated villages. There is more variety of biomes because of the humans. Before there were only woodlands and croplands, now there are ranger lands, rice villages, pastoral villages, and urban cities.
