Yes humans have altered the biomes in Ireland, because deforestation is a main offender of biome altercations removing large forest areas cause large impacts on animals and harvesting native trees. Ireland was left with very few native trees following the Ice Age and a drastic changing climate. Over the years and centuries, Ireland experienced a near-total destruction, its forests one of the major reasons why is because the urbanization and the population growth of the human race in Ireland. Land degradation is happening within Ireland, from all the copper, coal and gold mining from the gold rush in the 1800’s. But also now days they have large mines for zinc. The water quality has drastically decreased over the past 30 or so years but it isn’t the worst quality water for all over the world. Landslides and floods are closely allied because both are related to heavy precipitation, slope runoff and the saturation of soil by water. Landslides occur as a result of a physical change in the material that makes up the soil and the overflow of rainwater and precipitation on waterways and oceans causing major floods and damage to farmlands.
