Una perspectiva biofísica del cambio agrícola en Austria: dos sistemas agrarios en las décadas de 1830 y 1990

摘要: The paper argues for an ecologically-informed agricultural history. It introduces a model-based approach the analysis of biophysical relations in local production systems. Data from Franciscean Cadastre and statistical sources are used to quantify material energy exchange processes between society nature, their development over time two Austrian case studies. will be demonstrated that livestock played integrating multifunctional role optimizing land use at level 19th century agriculture. fossil fuel based industrialization agriculture 20th Century resulted disintegration systems, turning them into throughput systems with high inputs outputs. On one hand, this allowed tremendous increases area labor productivity but, on other significantly decreased efficiency
