Time-lag in biological responses to landscape changes in a highly dynamic Atlantic forest region (2009, unknown): “Our results clearly emphasize that landscapes have history (Lunt and Spooner, 2005; Balée, 2006), and to the extent that this history has a strong influence on the present distribution patterns of species in human-modified landscapes, it is crucial that its effects be considered when planning conser”
A framework to predict the effects of livestock grazing and grazing exclusion on conservation values in natural ecosystems in Australia. (2007, background): “Furthermore, stocking levels in native vegetation are now lower than those that occurred in the late 1800s in many regions (Williams and Oxley 1979; Noble and Tongway 1983; Lawrence 1999; Lunt and Spooner 2005).”
Why history matters in ecology: an interdisciplinary perspective (2010, background): “An interdisciplinary view on ecosystems is also useful in understanding ecological processes on a landscape scale (Landres et al. 1999; de Blois et al. 2002; Lunt & Spooner 2005).”
The Research Program of Historical Ecology (2006, background): “Intermediate disturbance by traditional societies employing broadcast fire in Australia, Africa, and the Neotropics has demonstrably resulted in increases of alpha diversity of vegetation (Bird et al. 2005, Lunt & Spooner 2005, Mistry et al. 2005, Pyne 1998, Sheuyange et al. 2005).”
Socio-Economics and Vegetation Change in Urban Ecosystems: Patterns in Space and Time (2009, background): “Nevertheless, incorporation of socio-economic and land-use history is an important consideration when examining current biological patterns ( Lunt and Spooner 2005 ).”
Habitat fragmentation and landscape change (2010, unknown): “There also is a strong historical influence on landscape change because many fragments, and the disturbance regimes they experience, are a legacy of past land settlement and land-use (Lunt and Spooner 2005).”
Landscape modification and habitat fragmentation: a synthesis (2007, background): “Generally, native vegetation is cleared first in areas with high primary productivity (e.g. Norton et al. , 1995; Landsberg, 1999), although this trend is somewhat modified by jurisdictional and cultural aspects of land-use history (Lunt & Spooner, 2005).”
