Human activities and biodiversity opportunities in pre‐industrial cultural landscapes: relevance to conservation

2017-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Conservation practices in Europe frequently attempt to perpetuate or mimic the ‘traditional’ forms of management of semi‐natural habitats, but with a limited understanding of what these entailed. We review the emerging understanding of ecological processes, structures and management interventions that enhance biodiversity (wildlife) at diverse scales. These are then examined in the context of pre‐industrial (c. 12...
