By answering this question, we can understand our place in the complex, ever-changing world that we inhabit. This book guides readers on a journey through the concurrent processes of change in an integrated natural-cultural history of a landscape. While outlining the general principles for global application, a richly illustrated case is offered through the Mariana Islands in the northwest tropical Pacific and furthermore situated in a larger Asia-Pacific context for a full comprehension of landscape evolution at variable scales. The author examines what happened during the first time when human beings encountered the world’s Remote Oceanic environment in the Mariana Islands about 3500 years ago, followed by a continuous sequence of changing sea level, climate, water resources, forest composition, human population growth, and social dynamics. This book provides a high-resolution and long-term view of the complexities of landscape evolution that affect all of us today.ArchaeologyLandscape ecologyEnvironmental managementArchaeologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X13000Landscape Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19058Environmental Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009Archaeology.Landscape ecology.Environmental management.Archaeology.Landscape Ecology.Environmental Management.930.1Carson Mike Tauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut715954BOOK9910253337903321Archaeological Landscape Evolution2534628UNINA
