“…The results of the coastline model supported the hypothesis of Jacobs et al (2006) that the distance between the coast and Blombos cave influenced the type and amount of shellfish that was collected and brought back to the site (Fisher et al, 2010). Evidence of shellfish collecting is absent at times when the coast is far away (Jerardino, 2011). Coastline distance was shown to correlate to measures of occupation intensity at the site Pinnacle Point 13B.…”

“…BP]) and the late Holocene Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA, ~1300-650 cal. BP) (237,238). Quantitative data derived from these records can be used to characterise ecosystem functions at that time and socio-environmental responses to climate change, providing much needed insights within the context of current warming trends, now and in the future (238,239).…”

Historical ecology draws on a broad range of information sources and methods to provide insight into ecological and social change, especially over the past ~12,000 years. While its results are often relevant to conservation and restoration, insights from its diverse disciplines, environments, and geographies have frequently remained siloed or underrepresented, restricting their full potential. Here, we synthesize knowledge from the fields of history, anthropology, paleontology, and ecology from scholars and practitioners working in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments on six continents and various archipelagoes to identify global research priorities for historical ecology to influence conservation. Specifically, we identify and address questions within four key priority areas: (i) methods and concepts, (ii) knowledge co-production and community engagement, (iii) policy and management, and (iv) climate change impacts. This work highlights the ways that historical ecology has developed and matured in its use of novel information sources, its efforts to move beyond extractive research practices and toward knowledge co-production, and its potential use in addressing management challenges, including climate change. Together, we demonstrate the ways that this field has brought together researchers across disciplines, connected academics to practitioners, and engaged communities to create and apply knowledge of the past to addressing the challenges of our shared future.
