“…1). While some of these state-owned or feudal forests were managed in a relatively coordinated manner for centuries [47], others in remote and sparsely populated regions remained nearly untouched [48,49]. Woodland in more densely populated regions frequently became the intensively used common property of the local population [50][51][52][53][54][55]56•], the municipal property of cities, or private property of the church and the local nobility [35,50,57].…”

Purpose of Review Ownership patterns and the associated management characteristics are related to forest structures, biodiversity patterns, and their conservation worldwide. A literature review on this topic is missing so far. We fill this gap with an emphasis on the temperate forests of Europe and North America. Mixed-ownership landscapes are the special focus of the analysis. In a first step, historical effects of ownership patterns on forest structure and biodiversity are elucidated. Second, connections between present-time forest ownership patterns and both forest structural and biodiversity patterns are analyzed. Finally, implications for integrative conservation management are evaluated with a special focus on mixed-ownership forest landscapes. Recent Findings Close linkages between ownership type-specific forest management and particular forest structural and biodiversity patterns are identified for past and current forest landscapes. Both in Europe and North America, publicly and privately owned forests show comparable lines of historical development but with a time shift. Forest reserves and ancient woodland with long ecological continuity appear to be mainly connected with public ownership. A high diversity of management approaches and cultural landscape habitats is characteristic of non-industrial small private forests. In mixed-ownership landscapes, a more diverse mosaic of habitats has developed than in mono-ownership landscapes. Summary We conclude that cross-boundary ecosystem management is crucial for effective conservation in present-day mixed-ownership landscapes. Integrative forest management that considers biodiversity and social-ecological aspects across ownerships is indispensable. We present a framework of implications for conservation management in mixed-ownership forest landscapes that build on each other and may enhance cross-boundary ecosystem management.

“…Ethnic teams across the world possess a tremendous quantity of TEK, most of that are poorly documented and therefore remain unknown to researchers and natural resource managers. Setting aside areas for the conservation of bioresources are often seen in many sacred groves, royal hunting forests, and sacred gardens as samples of TEK (Langton 2015;Singh et al 2017). These practices involve a variety of restraints on the harvesting of products from nature in terms of quantity, locality, season and age, gender, and social class (Fitzpatrick 2005;Singh et al 2017).…”

Abstract. Tynsong H, Dkhar M, Tiwari BK. 2020. Review: Traditional ecological knowledge of tribal communities of North East India. Biodiversitas 21: 3209-3224. Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) refers to the knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous and tribal people relating to the understanding of structure and functioning of neighboring natural ecosystems and their use for human welfare. In this paper, we have reviewed the literature relating to TEK held by the tribal and other traditional societies of North East India. The region is very rich in TEK pertaining to species, ecosystems, and their interactions including their sustainable management and utilization in forestry, fisheries, agriculture, food, crafts, dye, and health care. Some of these TEK based knowledge systems are at par or even superior to the resource management practices evolved under the ambit of modern knowledge. Though a substantial chunk of TEK of tribal communities of North East India has been documented, huge treasures of such knowledge remain unreported and hence are on the verge of being lost.

“…For centuries, many forest areas in Europe have enjoyed a degree of protection. As long ago as 1079, the New Forest in southeast England was legislated as a "royal forest" and was protected for hunting, mainly of deer (Langton, 2015). In the early 11th century, legislation protected the Vienna Woods (Wienerwald) in Austria as a hunting ground until the 16th century when production forestry began to be practised (Kurir, 1977).…”
