This book addresses critical components of the European landscape - forest, parkland, and other grazed landscapes with trees. It considers the history of grazed treed landscapes, of large grazing herbivores in Europe, and the implications of the past in shaping our environment today and in the future. Debates on the types of anciently grazed landscapes in Europe, and what they tell us about past and present ecology, have been especially topical and controversial recently. This is not only because we seek to understand the past in the present, but also because it is that such understanding may help shape future visions and adaptation to major stresses such as climate change and human environmental impacts. The critical roles of large grazing herbivores in helping to shape landscapes and their ecology have now been largely accepted but some of the details remain elusive. This volume brings the current discussions and the latest research to a much wider audience. The book breaks new ground in broadening the scope of wood-pasture and woodland research to address sites and ecologies that have previously been overlooked but which hold potential keys to understanding landscape dynamics. Eminent contributors, including Oliver Rackham and Frans Vera, present a text which addresses the importance of history in understanding the past landscape, and the relevance of historical ecology and landscape studies in providing a future vision.
Industry Reviews

"This volume makes clear that focusing on ecological processes rather than thinking about baseline cultural landscapes is necessary but needs more research, particularly if it is to inform land use and conservation policies that account for species movement between wooded and nonwooded landscapes." - Environmental History, Matthew Kelly, University of Southampton, UK
