摘要: Too often, wilderness conservation ignores a temporal perspective greater than the past 50 years, yet long-term (centuries to millennia) reveals dynamic nature of many ecosystems. Analysis fossil pollen, charcoal and stable isotopes, combined with historical analyses archaeology can reveal how ongoing interactions between climatic change, human activities other disturbances have shaped today's landscapes over thousands years. This interdisciplinary approach inform also contribute interpreting current trends predicting ecosystems might respond future climate change. In this paper, we review literature that increasing collaboration among palaeoecologists, archaeologists, historians, anthropologists ecologists is improving understanding ecological complexity. Drawing on case studies from forested non-forested in Europe, Americas, Africa Australia, discuss integrated ecosystem management.
