It implements an interdisciplinary approach to understand how natural or human-impacted ecological systems have changed over time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHistorical Ecology\u003c\/i\u003e combines theory, methods, regional case studies and syntheses to provide a complete up-to-date overview of historical ecology. Beginning with the crucial role of time and inference from observed patterns, the book critically reviews the main methodological approaches, including monitoring of permanent plots, analysis of old maps, repeat photography, remote sensing, soil analysis, charcoal analysis, botanical indicators, and combinations of these methods applied to forest ecosystems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA series of case studies from various biomes shows how historical ecology can help in understanding today’s socio-ecosystems, such as mainland and island forests, orchards, tundra and coastal dunes. The book concludes by showing how historical ecology can answer timely fundamental research questions and provide science-based evidence for landscape and ecosystem management.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGuillaume Decocq\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of plant sciences at the University of Picardy Jules Verne, France, where he leads a multidisciplinary research group on forest dynamics.
