metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This study focused on a Russian agrarian microregion (12.5 km2) situated in a forest steppe
  area (in Tambov Oblast) during the 18th–19th centuries. The research illuminates the mechanisms, patterns, and impact that the environment has on social processes, and vice versa —
  the human impact on the environment (and particularly on landscape). The authors created
  a geographic information system which they used to compare the results of aerial survey and
  satellite imagery, with historical maps and other sources, including archival documents. Morphological
  anomalies were identified on an orthophotomap, and then interpreted. The conclusions
  of the research concern the nature of interaction between the agrarian society and
  the environment. Settlement in the plains of the forest steppe was heavily dependent on the
  water regime, which directly affected the condition and dynamics of communication routes
  and economic infrastructure. The vanished settlement found in this study is an example of
  such an effect: it grew up along a road and was abandoned when the areas through which the
  road ran were waterlogged. Plain rivers can alter the surrounding landscape quite drastically
  over relatively short historical periods, and are themselves subject to anthropogenic influence.
  Changes in living conditions and economic management led to variability in settlement patterns
  and land use. This can be seen especially well in the lowland, where such schemes were
  predominantly temporary. The processing of Earth remote sensing data makes it possible to
  fill gaps in sources and discover new evidence of the past.
