The Consequences of the Growing Iron Industry on Forests and Farms (16th-17th Centuries)
Thanks to new blast furnaces, the iron industry grew during the 16th century. So did the need for wood and charcoal for fuel. This led to new ways of working the forests. The old ways, particularly those involving livestock, changed. The degree of change depended on the existing agrarian system : open field and bocage areas did not adjust alike. Although changes of this sort have been important in modern times, the presence of ironworks in the Middle Ages probably already had an impact on the way of working forests and, therefore, on farming practices.
