This final part of the series contains a brief overview of agriculture in the tropics, as well as its effects, noting the increasing human population in all tropical climate zones. In many places, humans have altered the distribution of plant and animal species, in almost all areas using plants and animals for food or labour. These changes, in turn, change the climate as the appearance and, therefore, the characteristics of the environment alter significantly.
