Newest findings on the origins of the agricultural landscape Here, Peter Poschlod analyses and describes the mechanisms and processes that led to the origins of the Central European agricultural landscape and its later development, as well as its habitat and species diversity, with special attention given to the factors of climate, war and disease, different schools of thought, technical advances and economic change, and also legislation and politics. Selected habitats and species are presented as the result of historical processes. In this book, the literature from the different disciplines has been consulted and addressed for the first time.
