奥拉AURA

虽然我认为查科呈现了一个融合与大自然的更环保的居住方式，而不是居民区遍布四处，阿纳萨齐人更是呈现了这个方式的代价。我想这种事情一直都在发生。请看一些材料，源自于
Although I think Chaco is a much more environmentally friendly way to inhabit nature than spreading living quarters all over the landscape, The Anasazi shows even this approach comes at a price. I guess this stuff has been going on forever. Here’s a bit from

"据记载，公元1150年以后的干旱可能导致了[查科峡谷周围的]小松树的消亡。
"It might seem that the droughts documented from A.D. 1150 onward caused the demise of pinion pine [surrounding Chaco Canyon].

"然而，[古植物学家胡里奥]贝当古和[汤姆]凡·德文德得出结论，查科峡谷的居民只是把松树和杜松当作柴火用完了。松柏林地的边缘已经从查科峡谷退到东部约20公里处的查克拉台地。贝当古和凡·德文德指出，这片林地还没有从800年前阿纳萨齐人的收割中恢复过来。
"[However, paleobotanists Julio] Betancourt and [Tom] Van Devender … drew the conclusion that the people of Chaco Canyon simply used up the available pinion pines, along with junipers, as firewood. The edge of the pinion-juniper woodland had retreated from Chaco Canyon itself to Chacra Mesa, some 20 km to the east.… Betancourt and Van Devender noted that this woodland has not yet recovered from the Anasazi harvesting it suffered 800 years ago.…

"(当牧场主砍伐大片松柏林地以改善牛群的草料时，他们可能以为，一旦牛群转移到其它土地上后，这些林地将很容易恢复生机。查科阿纳萨齐人的历史表明，这可能是一个错误的想法。)
"(When ranchers cut down large tracts of pinion-juniper woodland to improve forage for cattle, they may be working under the assumption that these woodlands will bounce back quite easily once the cows move on to other lands. The history of the Anasazi at Chaco indicates that this may be a false assumption.)

除了使用当地的树木作为燃料，……阿纳萨奇人还得爬到75公里(45英里)的山区去砍伐[云杉和冷杉]……估计有20万棵树……用来建设查科峡谷的十个主要村庄。
Besides using the local trees for fuel, … the Anasazi had to go up to 75 km (45 miles) into regional mountains to get [spruce and fir for the] … estimated 200,000 trees . . . used to make the ten major pueblos at Chaco Canyon.
