Old Fields: Dynamics and. has been added to your Cart. Excellent source on the successional dynamics of old fields from around the world. It is not entirely comprehensive, but does provide recent case studies from each of the major regions of the world. I would have preferred some more from America's midwest (personal bias), as even the authors recognize this as one of the most studied regions in terms of old fields, but still find case studies from other regions perfectly relevant and applicable. One person found this helpful.

Crop and grazing lands can be abandoned for ecological reasons (loss of productivity), or economic reasons (change in the economy of a region). Even the perception of the subsequent changes is in large part cultural. In Europe, with a long history of agriculture, abandonment is frequently seen as the loss of important species-rich ecosystems, while in North America abandonment is perceived as allowing the land to return to the natural state.
Complete restoration is not possible, but saving a few well-selected species is a feasible goal
Complete restoration is not possible, but saving a few well-selected species is a feasible goal. With reduced runoff inevitable, the only sustainable long-term options are policy change, agricultural reform and controlling growth in the Southwest. In Europe, economic appraisals of flood management projects, generally Cost-Benefit Analysis, become a commonly used decision tool. At the same time, new flood management policies that may have strong impacts on farms, are promoted, . floodplain restoration and vulnerability mitigation. Since damage must be estimated to estimate the benefits in a CBA, flood damage estimation on agricultural.
Land abandonment is increasing as human influence on the globe intensifies and. It represents an important contribution to the development of theory on old field dynamics and the practice of ecological restoration on abandoned farmland, and the broader implications of old field dynamics to ecology and restoration.
