This lecture explores the relationship between humans and trees within landscapes shaped by human activity, known as anthroposcapes. It highlights how cultural values, land use, and urbanization influence tree distribution, management, and ecological function. Students will learn to view trees not only as ecological components but also as social and cultural elements that contribute to identity, well-being, and environmental resilience. The lecture encourages reflection on our role in shaping—and sustaining—the green infrastructure that supports life in human-dominated environments.
