Restoring Layered Landscapes

This book focuses on ecological restoration in landscapes with complex histories: “layered landscapes” shaped by ongoing, reciprocal interaction between humans and nature. These landscapes challenge the identification of predisturbance reference conditions and raise questions about the role of ecological and social histories in restoration. Many layered landscapes—which range from the Scottish Highlands to former military and postindustrial sites—are not only characterized by natural ecosystems worth preserving and restoring, but also embody significant political, social, and cultural histories. This volume grapples with the challenges of restoring and interpreting these complex landscapes: What should we aim to restore in such places? Can restoration rebuild ecological value while also taking the legacies of human use into account? chapters in this volume offer theoretical perspectives on the relationship between continuity and change, case studies considering the possibilities for layered landscape restoration, and suggestions for thoughtful and creative interpretation of restored sites
