The long-term perspective of the dynamics that govern the human-climate ecosystem is becoming one of the main focuses of interest in biological and earth system sciences. Multidisciplinary bio-geo-archaeo investigations into the underlying processes of human impact on the landscape are crucial to envisage possible future scenarios of biosphere responses to global warming and biodiversity losses. This Special Issue seeks to engage an interdisciplinary dialog on the dynamic interactions between nature and society, focusing on long-term environmental data as an essential tool for better-informed landscape management decisions to achieve an equilibrium between conservation and sustainable resource exploitation.Environmental economicsbicsscAfrican politicsagricultural oasis expansionarable landarchaeological sitesarmycarbon neutralcase studycentral SpainChinacitiesclimateclimate changeCosta RicaCôte d'IvoireDeforestationdevelopmentdike-pondsDISPdriving forceseco-fragile areaenvironmentfarming radiusflood managementforest landscapeforestland governancegrasslandshistorical land-cover/use changeHorqin Sandy Landhuman activity intensityhuman-inducedland coverland politicsland reconstructionland useland use changeland use changesland-use degreeland-use intensityLandsatlandscape changelandscape change indexlandscape dynamicslandscape transformationlate HoloceneLate Holocenelivestockmedieval ageMediterraneanmid-mountainsmiddle and lower reaches of Shule River Basinmitigationn/anative forestNDVINortheast ChinaNPPsoasispalaeoecologypalaeoenvironmental reconstructionpaleoecologypasture indicatorspeacepolitical traditionpollenresilienceRESTRENDShunde Districtsoil carbonsouthern Italyspatio-temporal patternsustainabilityTarim Basinurbanizationvegetation changevegetation coverwetlandEnvironmental economicsFlorenzano Assuntaauth312665Mercuri AnnaauthBOOK9910367744203321The Long-Term Perspective of Human Impact on Landscape for Environmental Change and Sustainability3032829UNINA
