Today, most ecosystems show some degree of human modification, ranging from subtle influences to complete remodeling and reshaping into anthropogenic ecosystems. In the first issue journal Ecosystems, field historical ecology, which focuses on development ecosystems, was prominently positioned with papers Foster others (Ecosystems 1:96–119, 1998) Fuller 1:76–95, 1998). Starting these two contributions, we (1) discuss how activities affect their development, (2) outline land use can be...

Abstract. European forest use for fuel, timber and food dates back to pre-Roman times. Century-scale ecological processes their legacy effects require accounting management when studying today's carbon sink. Forest reconstructions that are used drive land surface models one way quantify the impact of both historical large scale application on forest-related sink climate. In this study we reconstruct from 1600 2010 making diverse approaches, data sources assumptions. Between 1828, a...
A range of intensifying pressures is making the future European agriculture dynamic and contested. Insights into these are needed to inform debates about sector. In this study, we use a foresight approach identify, quantify map megatrends. Megatrends long-term driving forces which observable today will likely have transformational potential in future. By mapping megatrends at regional scale, establish geography detect where they coincide. Four significant for scale assessed: Climate change,...
Abstract Grasslands are one of the most widespread terrestrial biomes. In Europe, majority grasslands depends on human management, and as a result, grassland areas facing different dynamics transitions to other land cover types. This study identifies trajectories in Europe from 1990 2018. Using 1 km × grid spanning European countries, we identified increasing, decreasing mixed development cover. For each trajectory, selected four representative hotspots its changes over periods. Our results...
Abstract European agri-food systems must overcome structural lock-ins to achieve more sustainable modes of production and consumption. Yet regions are highly diverse, we lack understanding how different regional characteristics may enable or inhibit sustainability transitions. This hinders the development context-tailored governance strategies. In this paper, identify apply sets spatial indicators map potentials for We first analyse strength lock-in incumbent agro-industrial paradigm. then...
In the dry Swiss Rhone Valley, Scots pine forests have experienced increased mortality in recent years. It has commonly been assumed that drought events and bark beetles fostered decline, however, whether beetle outbreaks years they can be linked to stress or increasing temperature never studied. our study, we correlated time series of indices from long-term climate stations, 11-year trends a research plot, probabilities modeled tree rings (as an indicator vitality) with documented...
