De geschiedenis van natuur en landschap vormt de bakermat voor het bestaan en de identiteit van ieder mens. Hoe zag het Nederlandse landschap er uit aan het eind van de Middeleeuwen? Wat is de toekomst van de heide in ons land? Hoe ontstonden onze vennen, de pelen op de grens van Brabant en Limburg, onze beemden in de uiterwaarden? In hoeverre is de natuur in ons land eigenlijk wel maakbaar, en hoe kunnen we best omgaan met invasieve struiken in onze bossen?

L’accélération des activités humaines met en péril les paysages culturels qui se transforment de plus en plus vite et tendent à s’uniformiser. En tant que patrimoine vivant commun, il est important de réfléchir à la manière d’accompagner leur transformation. Pour ce faire, nous proposons d’étudier la dynamique d’évolution des paysages avec comme angle d’approche le phénomène de l’habitat, trame visible et durable dans le paysage des sociétés humaines, marqué par les évolutions sociales.
Dans cette étude, nous nous intéresserons plus particulièrement aux paysages ruraux, constituant un fort attrait pour notre société de plus en plus urbaine. Nous prendrons comme cas d’étude le paysage des Baronnies, un massif à l’interface des influences alpine et méditerranéenne, dans le sud-est de la France, qui se caractérise par un habitat traditionnel perché.
Dans un premier temps, nous questionnerons le concept de « paysage » afin de développer une méthodologie singulière permettant de vérifier l’hypothèse que, dans les Baronnies, la dynamique récente d’expansion des villages perchés bouleverse le paysage.
Pour y parvenir, nous définirons dans un premier temps le faciès du paysage des Baronnies en identifiant les motifs de paysage collectivement reconnus. Dans un deuxième temps, nous chercherons à comprendre de quelle manière les systèmes et la structure spatiale qu’ils produisent, influencent l’habitat. Après avoir décrit les diverses formes qu’il peut prendre, nous étudierons sa dynamique notamment grâce à l’étude des facteurs à la source des changements. Nous analyserons particulièrement l’évolution de l’habitat de quatre villages à travers lesquels nous pourrons identifier précisément la fracture avec le paysage et les enjeux associés en termes d’aménagement afin de retrouver une continuité. The acceleration of human activities is endangering cultural landscapes, that are changing more and more rapidly and tend to standardize. As a common living heritage, it is significant to think about how to support their transformation. To that end, we propose to explore the dynamics of landscape evolution. The phenomenon of housing that mark the social changes, as visible and sustainable framework in the landscape of human societies, will be the gateway of these work.
In this study, we will focus more particularly on rural landscapes, constituting a strong appeal for our increasingly urban society. The case study of the landscape of the Baronnies, in the south-east of France, will be considered. The Baronnies are a massif at the interface of Alpine and Mediterranean influences, characterized by a traditional perched habitat.
At first, we will question the concept of «landscape» in order to develop a singular methodology to prove the hypothesis that the recent dynamics of expansion of hilltop villages disrupt the landscape of the Baronnies.
To achieve this, we will first define the facies of the Baronnies’ landscape by identifying collectively recognized landscape patterns. Then, we will try to perceive how the systems and the spatial structure that they produce influence the habitat. After having described the various forms that it can take, we will analyze its dynamics thanks to the study of the factors at the origin of the changes. Particularly, we will analyze the evolution of the habitat of four villages through which we will be able to precisely identify the fracture with the landscape and the associated issues in terms of planning to find a continuity.

"Trees played a particularly important part in the rural economy of Anglo-Saxon England, both for wood and timber and as a wood-pasture resource, with hunting gaining a growing cultural role. But they are also powerful icons in many pre-Christian religions, with a degree of tree symbolism found in Christian scripture too. This wide-ranging book explores both the 'real', historical and archaeological evidence of trees and woodland, and as they are depicted in Anglo-Saxon literature and legend. Place-name and charter references cast light upon the distribution of particular tree species (mapped here in detail for the first time) and also reflect upon regional character in a period that was fundamental for the evolution of the present landscape."--Publisher's description.

This book includes papers published in the Special Issue titled “Coastal Dynamic and Evolution”, which aimed to collect multidisciplinary studies that involved the evaluation of coastal evolution at different temporal scales, from hours and days to months and years, as well as historical changes. The volume contains investigations carried out by means of aerial photos and satellite images, as well as results from in situ surveys and observations aimed at assessing morphological changes in shoreline and dune systems as a consequence of chronic flooding and erosion processes or the occurrence of specific weather-related events. Studies on the evaluation of past and future sea-level variations and related impacts have also been included. In order to provide the reader with a wide overview of different coastal settings and methodological approaches, case studies from Russia, Italy, California (USA), Morocco, Spain, Indonesia, Ireland and Colombia have been included in this Special Issue. The content may be of interest to those who perform a wide range of investigations related to coastal analysis and management, especially to researchers and academics who can exploit the provided approaches and methodologies.
