Conservation of changing landscapes: vegetation and land‐use history of cape cod national seashore

2003-02-01

Abstract excerpt

The pervasive impact of historical land use is often underappreciated in the management and restoration of conservation areas and natural resources. We used historical and ecological approaches to determine the relative influences of past land use, fire, and site conditions on woodland vegetation patterns in Cape Cod National Seashore (CACO), the largest protected coastal landscape and area of sand‐plain vegetatio...
