None. The focus is field identification of sphagnum I assume no prior knowledge. Though it's pitched toward Swedish ecological survey standards.

If it had been european populations that had crashed would the gaps between managed woodland have filled in with poorer woodland. This resulting in the landscape being analysed by the consequent culture 5 hundred years later as forest Gardens?

European forests in the 14th/15th C were a managed resource. The collapse of indigenous pops were due to imported disease ( followed by heinous crimes).

Where's the money going? Where do people put that much? Like materials don't cost that much they must be paid so where does it end up? Yachts?

Yes it's a shame so much of the last 20 years life is on that platform.

I understand why a term is used but their "thuggishness" is a direct consequence of inaction or action. Eg ceasing mananagement and/or increases in nitrogen load. Thug feels about like scapegoating

Better off cracking down on housing as investments

Lawful evil?
