Remnant Artificial Habitats as Biodiversity Islets into Forest Oceans

2015-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Historical human activities are increasingly recognized by ecologists as important drivers of modern vegetation patterns and ecosystem functioning, but the length of time these legacies persist is poorly known. We determined whether medieval artificial habitats have left a long-lasting imprint in the current forest vegetation. We compared soil chemical properties, canopy conditions, actual vegetation, and soil see...
