The coppiced hedgerows of the UK and other temperate climates.

wikipedia wrote:young and fallen leaves were gathered from community forests to use as fertilizer in wet rice paddy fields. Villagers also used wood for construction, cooking and heating. More recently, satoyama has been defined not only as mixed community forests, but also as entire landscapes that are used for agriculture. According to this definition, satoyama contains a mosaic of mixed forests, rice paddy fields, dry rice fields, grasslands, streams, ponds, and reservoirs for irrigation. Farmers use the grasslands to feed horses and cattle. Streams, ponds, and reservoirs play an important role in adjusting water levels of paddy fields and farming fish as a food source.



Does anyone have more information on Satoyama?

Satoyama culture seems to be seriously endangered.

But photographer Nagahata Yoshiyuki "has spent 30 years observing and recording their ecosystems" & appears to be actively involved in trying to bring new generations of people into Satoyama culture.
