Abstract: This dissertation has been six long years, five research trips to Cyprus, and two trips to London in the making.Over the course of this time, I have benefited from conversations with multiple people on diverse topics.There are far too many thank you's to think that I am doing an adequate job with them, but nonetheless, an attempt is presented below.In the US, my dissertation committee patiently allowed me to progress through my research.My supervisor, Karl Butzer, deserves special thanks as he introduced me to the main schools of thought in geographic literature and fielded numerous questions on topics ranging from goats to vineyards to forest density to slope stability.The InterLibrary Services staff in the Perry-Castañeda Library were also essential to my research, and their ability to track down my multiple requests never ceased to amaze me.In Cyprus, this research would have been impossible to complete without the assistance of the Forest Department, which provided me with numerous departmental reports, a working space, coffee, food, a computer, and many conversations.Alexandros Christodoulou deserves extra thanks for arranging for me to have access to the departmental library and the Forestry College library.My gratitude is also extended to Charalambos Christodoulou, Andreas Antoniou, Thomas Kyriakou, and once again Alexandros Christodoulou for their willingness to share their knowledge of the Cypriot forests, include me on study trips into the forests, and introduce me to parents, grandparents and friends.Christodoulos Apostolides and his knowledge of computers was invaluable when mine crashed mid-study season.When not involved with the Forest Department, my time was frequently spent either at the Cyprus State Library or the Cyprus State Archives.The
