Development of the European Russian Forests in the Holocene

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
European Russian Forests

Part of the book series: Plant and Vegetation ((PAVE,volume 15))

Abstract

The history of forest landscapes in European Russia since the time of the Late Pleistocene is shortly reviewed. Human activities are considered a leading factor in the changes of the forest landscape. The main stages of transformation of the European Russian forests in the Holocene are related to the development of the production economy of people. It is shown that anthropogenic impacts caused the segregation of nearly the entire biotic cover of Eastern Europe into several (three) forest regions and two groups of communities, closed forests vs. communities of open and semi-open landscapes, which require human assistance for their maintenance.
