Brill's Series in the History of Environment9 Conservation and Production Woodlands Royal Forests Early Modern Iberian Peninsula

This volume focuses on the administration, conservation, land use, and management of woodlands and royal forests on the early modern Iberian Peninsula in different forest environments, including coastal sandy pinelands, oak forests, dehesas, and riverine ecosystems. Studies on early modern woodlands typically focus on the production, conservation, or management of forests in regard to a specific socio-economic activity (i.e., shipbuilding, mining), or are centred on particular case studies in specific land tenures. This is the first volume to address the production, conservation, and management of woodlands and royal forests on the early modern Iberian Peninsula across different land tenures, forest environments, bioclimatic regions, and jurisdictional arrangements, on a wide spatial and temporal scale. Each chapter offers an innovative argument which is based on solid archival research and an up-to-date bibliography. Contributors are: Ángel Ignacio Aguilar Cuesta, Concepción Camarero Bullón, Ignacio Ezquerra Revilla, Francisco Fernández Izquierdo, José Eloy Hortal Muñoz, Alfredo José Martínez González, Francisco J. Moreno Díaz del Campo, Cristina Joanaz de Melo, Félix Labrador Arroyo, Ana Luna San Eugenio, Raúl Romero-Calcerrada, and Koldo Trapaga- Monchet.
