In Forests in Time: The Environmental Consequences of 1,000 Years of Change in New England, co-editor John Aber ’73, Ph.D. ’76 relates the history of natural and human-induced changes that have occurred in the past 1,000 years in New England and explores the modern ecology of this largely forested landscape. Written by leading biological, physical and social scientists, the book demonstrates that an understanding of landscape history is essential for the study of ecology and environmental management.
