TL;DR: In this article, the authors compile archaeological and palaeoenvironmental data from East Africa to document land-cover change, and environmental, subsistence and land-use transitions over the past 6000 years.

TL;DR: The aim of this research is to showcase the variety of questions that reflect the broad scope for historical-ecological research trajectories across scientific disciplines and highlight meaningful trends in historical ecology that distill the field down to three explicit findings.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the impacts of pastoralism are contingent on the diachronic interactions of locally specific environmental, political, and cultural conditions, and that any discussion of overgrazing, or any form of human-environment interaction, must acknowledge spatio-temporal context and account for historical variability in landscape ontogenies.

TL;DR: The Amboseli ecosystem is renowned for its extraordinary biodiversity, and has long drawn the attention of conservationists and ecologists hoping to safeguard the biodiversity of the region as mentioned in this paper, and has attracted the interest of many researchers.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multidisciplinary perspective for understanding environmental change and emerging socio-ecological interactions across the Amboseli region of southwestern Kenya is presented, where the authors utilize multi-disciplinary approaches to understand environmental-ecosystem-social interactions over the longue duree and use this to simulate different land use scenarios supporting conservation and sustainable livelihoods.
