Predicting the course of future climate change consequently requires an understanding of the natural variability of the climate system as well as the effects of human-induced change. This book is concerned with our current understanding of natural climate change, its variability on decadal to centennial time-scales, the extent to which climate models of different kinds s 606 $aPaleoclimatology$yHolocene 606 $aClimatic changes$xResearch 606 $aGlobal warming$xResearch 615 0$aPaleoclimatology 615 0$aClimatic changes$xResearch. 615 0$aGlobal warming$xResearch. 676 $a363.73874072 676 $a551.60901 701 $aBattarbee$b R.

The book combines cutting-edge research with new perspectives to emphasize the close relationship between humans and their natural environment. Contributors examine how alterations in the natural world mirror human cultures, societies, and languages. Treating the landscape like a text, these researchers decipher patterns and meaning in the Ecuadorian Andes, Amazonia, the desert coast of Peru, and other regions in the neotropics. They show how local peoples have changed the landscape over time to fit their needs by managing and modifying species diversity, enhancing landscape heterogeneity, and controlling ecological disturbance. In turn, the environment itself becomes a form of architecture rich with historical and archaeological significance. Time and Complexity in Historical Ecology explores thousands of years of ecological history while also addressing important contemporary issues, such as biodiversity and genetic variation and change. Engagingly written and expertly researched, this book introduces and exemplifies a unique method for better understanding the link between humans and the biosphere. 410 0$aHistorical ecology series. 606 $aHuman ecology$zLatin America$vCongresses 606 $aHuman ecology$zTropics$vCongresses 606 $aRain forest ecology$zLatin America$vCongresses 606 $aEthnobiology$zLatin America$vCongresses 606 $aAgriculture$zTropics$vCongresses 606 $aLand use$zLatin America$vCongresses 606 $aLandscape changes$zLatin America$vCongresses 615 0$aHuman ecology 615 0$aHuman ecology 615 0$aRain forest ecology 615 0$aEthnobiology 615 0$aAgriculture 615 0$aLand use 615 0$aLandscape changes 676 $a304.2/098 700 $aBalée$b William, $0847182 701 $aBale?e$b William L.$f1954-$01513231 701 $aErickson$b Clark L$01563257 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777638403321 996 $aTime and complexity in historical ecology$93831502 997 $aUNINA
