- Reposted by Esther DaleIt's amazing to see how much landscapes changed. In the G4B project, we strongly believe that the biodiversity of grasslands depends on the past legacies of land-use management. We look at historical maps, satellites & aerial imagery, landscape changes 🗺️, and relate them to grassland diversity.
