Article Preview

Abstract:

As is known, there is great impact on the local eco-system and environment caused by timber consumptions. It is yet important to validate this common belief by scientific data. Considering there is generally a lag on the environmental impact, it is intuitive for us to study the influence based on historical facts in the past. Thus, this paper focuses on the time period of the Tang dynasty in Chang’an, which was famous for being the “Eastern Rome” to investigate the impact of timber consumption on the local environment due to wooden architecture constructions.
