- Description:
- Encyclopedia article providing an overview of the environmental history of Georgia. Environmental history is defined here as the history of human impact on the landscape. It is a relatively new area of inquiry, but one that has much to teach us. It provides a landscape record for scientists who seek to understand present ecological systems by learning about past environments. From a sociohistorical perspective, environmental history presents a record of human activities and the effects of those activities on the landscape.
