With hundreds of acres of agricultural land going out of production every day, the introduction, spread, and abandonment of agriculture represents the most pervasive alteration of the Earth's environment for several thousand years. What happens when humans impose their spatial and temporal signatures on ecological regimes, and how does this manipulation affect the earth and nature's desire for equilibrium?. Studies were conducted at six Long Term Ecological Research sites within the US, including New England, the ApLong-Term Ecological Research Network series.Agricultural ecologyUnited StatesLand useUnited StatesAgricultural ecologyLand use333.76Redman Charles L208682Foster David R.1954-1474257MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782126303321Agrarian landscapes in transition3777977UNINA
