The missing woodland story: Implications of 1700 years of stand‐scale change on ‘naturalness’ and managing remnant broadleaved woodlands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.

Ancient people and living nature: A global perspective on archaeological areas and biodiversity

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Archaeological sites are not only of cultural and historical significance but also contribute to biodiversity conservation.
