Abstract

It has been argued that we have now entered the Anthropocene, a proposed epoch in which humans are having a dominant impact on the Earth system. While some geologists have sought to formalize the Anthropocene as beginning in the mid-twentieth century, its social, geophysical, and environmental roots undoubtedly lie deeper in the past. In this review, we highlight the ways in which human activities across the major biomes of our planet significantly altered parts of the Earth system prior to the Industrial Age. We demonstrate ways in which novel, multidisciplinary approaches can provide detailed insights into long-term human–environment–Earth system interactions. We argue that there is clear evidence for lasting Earth system legacies of pre-Industrial human societies and that archaeology, paleoecology, and historical ecology can provide important, practical insights to help navigate current and future relationships with the planet in more equitable and sustainable ways.
揭示过去人类社会的多生物组环境和地球系统遗产
有人认为,我们现在已经进入了 "人类世",这是一个人类对地球系统产生主导影响的时代。虽然一些地质学家试图将人类世正式定义为始于二十世纪中叶,但其社会、地球物理和环境根源无疑更深远。在这篇综述中,我们强调了在工业时代之前,地球上主要生物群落中的人类活动如何显著改变了地球系统的某些部分。我们展示了新颖的多学科方法如何提供关于人类-环境-地球系统长期相互作用的详细见解。我们认为,有明确的证据表明,工业化前的人类社会给地球系统留下了持久的遗产,考古学、古生态学和历史生态学可以提供重要而实用的见解,帮助人们以更加公平和可持续的方式来引导当前和未来与地球的关系。

期刊介绍: The Annual Review of Environment and Resources, established in 1976, offers authoritative reviews on key environmental science and engineering topics. It covers various subjects, including ecology, conservation science, water and energy resources, atmosphere, oceans, climate change, agriculture, living resources, and the human dimensions of resource use and global change. The journal's recent transition from gated to open access through Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open program, with all articles published under a CC BY license, enhances the dissemination of knowledge in the field.
