The beginnings of forest management on Polish lands (late-eighteenth to mid-nineteenth centuries)
This article analyzes the emergence of modern forest management on the Polish lands from the late eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth century, framing it within Enlightenment economic thought, state-building, and delayed industrialization in Central and Eastern Europe. Based on written, cartographic, and administrative sources, it traces the transformation of forests from heterogeneous landscapes governed by customary rights into standardized, admin…
Research perspectives on historical legacy of the Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris L.)
The environmental changes that have occurred on our globe in the last few hundred years affect practically every element of the environment. One of the main elements of this matrix is forest areas. A key aspect of describing the transformation period in forest management is to illustrate the long-term consequences of the environmental changes which humans have caused and continue to cause. The objective of our study is not only to discuss the int…
With or against the river? Tracing changes and relationships between social and ecological systems on the central Vistula floodplain over the last 200 years
Studying the relationship between humans and their environment is crucial for observing escalating human pressure. This article examines how two distinct rural communities, living side-by-side, coped with environmental crises during the 19th and 20th centuries. Our case study is Kazuń, a 19th-century settlement inhabited by Catholics and Protestants separated only by a lake, an old Vistula riverbed. Our analysis utilizes written archives (includi…
Human impacts on environment in the preindustrial forest landscapes in Poland—An overview
Quantification of human impact on past forest ecosystems becomes more challenging as one goes deeper into the past. This is primarily due to a scarcity of appropriate source materials. It is well-known that the inclusion of the Polish lands in the zone of economic ties with Western Europe at the end of the 15th century enabled the intensive export of cereal and forest products. In this article, we have used place names established before 1600 not…
Monumental Trees, or the Phenomenological Guardians of the Landscape
Overcoming the crisis
Addressing multiple perspectives in studying environmental changes in forest landscapes during the modernization period (18th-19th centuries)
Combining different diverse data on human and environmental history during the Anthropocene is an extremely challenging task, particularly, if one wants to compare written or cartographic data with a whole range of environmental data recorded for more than the past 200-300 years. In this article, our objective was to demonstrate that one of the keys to facilitating syntheses for the study of forest landscape dynamics was to conduct a thorough inv…
Lustracja królewskich puszcz, lasów i borów na Mazowszu z 1566 roku
Publikowana lustracja lasów królewskich została przeprowadzona w latach 1564/1565–1566. Tekst jest zaktualizowanym wyciągiem z wcześniejszych rewizji. Opisanie lasów i puszcz mazowieckich pozwala poznać nie tylko stopień wyeksploatowania poszczególnych ekosystemów leśnych, ale umożliwia także zrozumienie złożonej sieci powiązań gospodarczych, społecznych i politycznych, jakie funkcjonowały w skupiskach leśnych w przeszłości
A novel multiproxy approach to detect the impact of charcoal production on the natural environment in NW Poland – project concept and preliminary results
Agriculture has been the major driver of deforestation in Europe in the last 1000 years. In the past, forests were also exploited for charcoal production; however, the spatial scale/extent of this activity and its impact are unknown. LIDAR data can be used as a noninvasive tool to investigate the small-scale diversity of the land relief, including forested areas. These data can reveal the extent anthropogenic modifications of topography present-d…
Mechanizmy poboru podatków nadzwyczajnych na początku XVI w. na przykładzie kaliskich rejestrów poborowych
Artykuł jest poświęcony mechanizmom poboru podatków nadzwyczajnych na początku XVI w. na przykładzie kaliskich rejestrów poborowych z lat 1507–1510. Dzięki źródłoznawczym analizom dostępnych materiałów udało się rozpoznać i opisać wiele elementów związanych z zapleczem organizacyjnym towarzyszącym poborowi świadczeń finansowych. Mowa nie tylko o próbach przedstawienia kolejnych etapów redagowaniarejestrów poborowych, ale także o działalności kanc…
A retrogressive approach to reconstructing the sixteenth-century forest landscapes of western Poland
Spatio-temporal aspects of the extraordinary tax collecting system in Greater Poland (1492–1613)
The article deals with issues related to the spatial and temporal functioning of the revenue system in the sixteenth-century Crown of the Kingdom of Poland, on the example of Greater Poland. The chronological scope of the work covers the period from the turn of the fifteenth century, when the Polish parliamentary system had begun to take shape, to the early seventeenth century, or more precisely, to the establishment of the Crown Treasury Tribuna…
Technical and methodological foundations of digital indexing of medieval and early modern court books
Ever since the beginnings of the modern historiography, the court books have posed a challenge for editors in Poland, both due to their number and variety. They constitute one of the richest sources enabling a variety of historical research. The publication of the sources’ content can be shared owing to new approaches stemming from constant development of IT tools and their application in the humanities. The solution proposed in our article is a …
