Anybody know of maps that reconstruct land use patterns in Europe over the past 1000 years or so?
Boosts welcome.
@etp I remember having seen maps showing the amount of forests over time, but thats it.
@slowtiger Thank you. I have similar vague memories, which is why I hope this search will not be fruitless.
@etp It may be possible to start with population maps (lots of Europe were simply left out by people) and swamp and coastal colonisation. I also remember maps about single species, like sweet chestnuts which had been spread by romans.
