What kinds of natural knowledge and natural value existed in early modern wetlands? This essay uses a naturalist’s survey of a now-vanished swamp outside the northern Italian city of Bologna to reconstruct both the ecological knowledge of the swamp’s peasant inhabitants and the processes of “eco-prospecting” by which their knowledge was gathered, recorded, and used. The naturalist, Luigi Ferdinando Marsili, systematically interrogated the wetlanders for their site-specific knowledge of the seasonally dynamic relations between fish, water, plants, and weather. He also recorded in detail the wetlanders’ building of hydraulic infrastructure, practices of cane cultivation, and artisanal craftwork with the swamps’ natural materials. Marsili’s survey revealed the swamp as a place that was neither hostile nor barren (as most outsiders saw it) but populated and productive, filled with natural materials that could be used to sustain human communities and also to support divergent visions of resource management and extraction.

Environmental and “Anthropocene” history have relied on a host of interconnected terms to describe human–nature interaction, including “economic growth,” “development,” “sustainability,” “environment,” and “resources.” These terms were shaped by post-1945 economic policy, bureaucracy, and science, are centered in Western experience of recent origin, and now convey twenty-first-century sensibilities. This situation leaves historians who work on other periods or contexts with a methodological conundrum: how to analyze past engagements with the natural and material world when key terms that frame current scholarship do not align with concepts found in the sources. This Focus section responds to this conundrum by presenting six case studies centered in the early modern period and drawn from sites across Europe, East Asia, and the Americas. Each explores how historical actors envisioned their relationship with materials and concerns that today we might be tempted to gloss as “resources.” The result is a collection of case studies that reconstruct the conceptual and material frameworks for provisioning that guided the actions and arguments of early modern actors.
