Many regional forest reserves are in decline in the Mediterranean
as these dynamic ecosystems become increasingly threatened and
affected by climate change and human activities. This study
examines the forest resources of Cyprus through a case study based
in the Makheras region of the eastern Troodos mountains. Burnet
presents the results of field survey carried out in this vast 4,054
hectare area, looking in particular at the relationship between
archaeological sites and their contemporary environment. In more
general terms, she reconstructs the ecological and economic
landscape of the eastern Troodos and studies its long-term
development asking questions such as what resources were available
in prehistoric and historic times, how did man exploit these, what
impact did this have and how can the resources be sustained in the
future.
