The origins of the Cluster of Excellence ROOTS lie in the Graduate School Human Development in Landscapes (Link). Started in 2007 this Graduate School initiated an array of studies of past human-environmental dynamics that were carried out by several generations of PhD researchers and GSHDL members over more than 12 years. Here following, you can find a selection of monograph volumes which illustrate these results.
