Prehistoric Native Americans and Ecological Change(I***N=9780521050760) mobi 下载 网盘 caj lrf pdf txt 阿里云

　　This book shows that Holocene human ecosystems are complex

adaptive systems in which humans in***cted with their environment

in a nested series of spatial and temporal scales. Using panarchy

theory, it integrates paleoecological and archaeological research

from the Eastern Woodlands of North America providing a paradigm to

help resolve long-standing disagreements between ecologists and

archaeologists about the importance of prehistoric Native Americans

as agents for ecological change. The authors present the concept of

a panarchy of complex adaptive cycles as applied to the development

of increasingly complex human ecosystems through time. They explore

examples of ecological in***cti*** at the level of gene,

population, community, landscape and regional hierarchical scales,

emphasizing the ecological pattern and process involving the

development of human ecosystems. Finally, they offer a perspective

on the implicati*** of the legacy of Native Americans as agents of

change for c***ervation and ecological restoration efforts

today.

书籍介绍

There has long been controversy between ecologists and archaeologists over the role of prehistoric Native Americans as agents of ecological change. Using ecological and archaeological data from the woodlands of eastern North America, Paul and Hazel Delcourt show that Holocene human ecosystems are complex adaptive systems in which humans have in***cted with the environment on a series of spatial and time scales. Thei***ork therefore has important implicati*** for the c***ervation of biological diversity and for ecological restoration today, *** it of great interest to ecologists and archaeologists alike.
