Abstract
This paper is dedicated to Holocene forest history with a special focus on prehistoric and historic human impact. As the original landscape is turned into cultivated land, humankind’s influence on the evolution and formation of central Europe’s cultivated landscapes is of major importance. Today’s central European woodlands are the result of utilization and forest change over centuries, locally even millennia. The central European climate is conducive to tree growth and all of central Europe would be a more or less monotonous woodland now if human beings had not created cultivated landscapes with their meadows, pastures and fields, continually pushing the forests back over recent centuries. This paper will focus on whether or not there would have been forest-free habitats of any significant size in the areas covered by deciduous and coniferous forests, that were created and cleared by herds of animals as open landscapes, in addition to the naturally forest-free habitats.
