Is there a future for the past? / Carole L. Crumley, Anna Westin, Tommy Lennartsson -- Historical ecology and the longue durée / Paul Sinclair, Jon Moen, Carole L. Crumley -- Human and societal dimensions of past climate change / Fredrik Charpentier Ljungqvist -- Rural communities and traditional ecological knowledge / Anamaria Iuga, Anna Westin, Bogdan Iancu, Monica Stroe, Håkan Tunón -- Baselines and the shifting baseline syndrome : exploring frames of reference in nature conservation / Tuija Hilding-Rydevik, Jon Moen, Carina Green -- Concepts for integrated research in historical ecology / Ove Eriksson, Anneli Ekblom, Paul Lane, Tommy Lennartsson, Karl-Johan Lindholm -- Diversity in ecological and social contexts / Tommy Lennartsson, Ove Eriksson, Anamaria Iuga, Jesper Larsson, Jon Moen, Michael Scholl, Anna Westin, Carole L. Crumley -- How to operationalise collaborative research / Elizabeth Jones, Anna Westin, Scott Madry, Seth Murray, Jon Moen, Amanda Tickner -- Historical ecology in theory and practice : editors' reflections / Tommy Lennartsson, Anna Westin, Carole L. Crumley -- Taking research into action in historical ecology / Carole L. Crumley.
Summary: Historical ecology is a research framework which draws upon diverse evidence to trace complex, long-term relationships between humanity and Earth. With roots in anthropology, archaeology, ecology and paleoecology, geography, and landscape and heritage management, historical ecology applies a practical and holistic perspective to the study of change. Furthermore, it plays an important role in both fundamental research and in developing future strategies for integrated, equitable landscape management. The framework presented in this volume covers critical issues, including: practicing transdisciplinarity, the need for understanding interactions between human societies and ecosystem processes, the future of regions and the role of history and memory in a changing world. Including many examples of co-developed research, Issues and Concepts in Historical Ecology provides a platform for collaboration across disciplines and aims to equip researchers, policy-makers, funders, and communities to make decisions that can help to construct an inclusive and resilient future for humanity.
