Where do we come from? Cultural heritage in forests and forest management
Original language description
Forests are of great importance, not least as an integral part of complex land-use systems shaping the European cultural landscape. Compared to the rates of change of open land, forests are relatively persistent landscape elements. Still, over a longer term, forests have been very dynamic with respect to spatial extent, internal structure, and species composition. The changes in forest area triggered successional patterns which were overprinted by human impacts, i.e. forest use and management. The corresponding changes in forest structure and composition were reflected in changes in ecological characteristics, including biodiversity. In the chapter we illustrate, in a series of six case studies from different parts of Europe, how centuries of forest use and management have left imprints on forest ecosystems, and how acknowledging the legacy effects of the long-term inter-relationship between societies and their forests provides valuable background for sustainable forest management.
