Snowshoe, I doubt that the population drop in Europe due to plague would have had a significant effect, given the agricultural lifestyle of the time. Europe was tiny in population. The plant cover change wouldn't have been significant. contueor.com World population was only 300 million and Europe's I guess about 40 million back in 1300. So Europe losing 30 million people was no big deal on a world scale. Especially since human impact in those days wasn't that big a deal. They weren't burning tons of oil a year each, covering huge areas with cities and highways as 6 billion people are doing now. Mqurice
