What specific research exists on early modern forest use, regulation, and conflicts, particularly from a social or legal history perspective?
My research focuses on rural social conflict. I'm looking for studies that detail how forest laws (like royal forests, Waldordnungen, or colonial ordinances) were enacted, enforced, and resisted. How did customary peasant rights clash with state or seigneurial claims to timber, game, or land? Are there notable microhistories or regional studies that illuminate these struggles? I'm especially interested in work that uses court records or petitions as sources.
