现代社会对能源的渴望使我们看到了能源生产的历史案例：在扬施瓦尔德山区（Janschwalder Hohe），发现了至少在德国最大的考古调查木炭生产区之一。在过去几年中，挖掘了400多个生产单位（木炭堆）。大约需要400万平方米的林地来填充这些桩。这些木炭可能是在附近的佩茨钢铁厂使用的，自1567年以来，那里的沼泽铁矿石一直在冶炼。砍伐大片森林无疑对环境产生了重大影响，并极大地改变了景观的特征--不仅是短期的，而且是长期的。至少在一段时间内，植被在景观中基本上消失了，开阔的土地被用作农田，尽管土壤养分不足，而且非常桑迪。风吹沉积物覆盖木炭堆痕迹证明，清除和农业使用引起了土壤侵蚀和第四纪砂的风成再活化。
The hunger for energy of modern society leads us to a historical case of energy production: On the Janschwalde hill area (Janschwalder Hohe) one of the biggest archaeological investigated charcoal production areas at least in Germany was discovered. More than 400 production units (charcoal piles) were excavated during the last years. Approximately 4,000,000 square meters of woodland were necessary to charge those piles. The charcoal was probably used nearby in the iron works of Peitz where bog iron ore was smelted since 1567. The clearing of huge parts of the forest certainly had major environmental impacts and changed the character of the landscape tremendously – not only for the short-term but also on the long-run. At least for a while vegetation was substantially missing in the landscape and the open land was used as farmland although the soils are poor in nutrients and very sandy. Wind-blown sediments covering the charcoal piles traces prove that clearing and agricultural use has induced soil erosion and eolian remobilisation of Quaternary sands.
