This book is one of the main outcomes of COST Action A27 ‘Understanding pre-industrial structures in rural and mining landscapes’ (LANDMARKS). The contributions collected reflect a series of presentatinos and discussion stimulated by Per Grau Moller and Graham Fairclough. They show, through the eyes and experiences of researches, the main challenges and obstacles of Landscape Heritage in 13 European countries.
This document stresses the need to broach the study of landscapes from a multidisciplinary approach, paying attention to the historical processes and working on various scales. These are the challenges that this book intends to face and overcome.

The Management Committee of COST Action E 44 decided to organize a conference on Modelling the Wood Chain in Helsinki in 2007 in order to support the establishment of Wood Processing Strategy. Modelling is a key issue for creating new knowledge covering the entire wood chain, including a number of operation options. This book is a collection of papers submitted by the speakers of the conference.

The main objective of the Action is the evaluation of possible impacts from climate change and variability on agriculture and the assessment of critical thresholds for various European areas.

This book has to be considered as a general description of the activity performed in Europe in the field of climate change and variability impacts on agriculture. The wide range of presented information, including date, models, indices, methods, tools, can represent a useful support for the workers of agricultural sectors (farmers, technicians, decision makers, etc.) to better plan the analysis and the adaptation of European agriculture to climate change and variability impacts.
