Europe's changing woods and forests: from wildwood to managed landscapes

This book brings together information about Europe's forests and how they have developed since the last Ice Age. The first part (Chapters 1-4) gives an overview of Europe's woods and forests in space and over time; the second part (Chapters 5-9) looks at how they have been managed; the third part (Chapters 10-15) deals with how plants and animals have responded to alteration of the forest cover; the fourth part (Chapters 16-20) illustrates a range of different histories for locations from Italy to Sweden, from Poland to the UK; while the final part (Chapters 21-24) explores some of the issues around woodland conservation, now and in the future.
