  "abstract": "Former field relics (FFR) are microtopographic features: ridge and furrow, lynchets, terraces, headland ridges, stone walls, and stone heaps, inherited from past farming practices. In Europe, they are often described as being “everywhere”, particularly in landscapes that have escaped modern agricultural intensification. In this review, we provide quantitative support for this assumption by synthesizing over 150 studies on FFR across Europe. We also mapped the spatial distribution of the reviewed FFR, with a particular focus on Central Temperate Europe. We successively examine the definitions of the most common FFR, their detection issues, chronology, legacy in contemporary landscapes, and protection status. Finally, we highlight the need for a better understanding of FFR, more harmonised research at the continental scale, and stronger measures for their protection.",
