"The Last European Landscape to be Colonised: A Case Study of Land-Use Change in the Far North of Sweden 1850–1930"

The aim of this study was to analyse the swift land-use transition, from nomadic to agricultural, in the last colonised landscape of northern Sweden. Using historical documents and maps together with modern maps and a field survey, the authors wanted to link land-use patterns as strongly as possible to landscape features and ecosystems.
