PhD progress History, we have a problem

 In written thinking on the subject of 'green', meaning plants, vegetation, there is a serious historical problem

Is there any political writing on thinking 'green', thinking 'plants', thinking 'vegetation' ?
Are there any philosophical writings on the same thinking?
Has any biologist ever written on this subject of thinking?

Suppose, my subject in this historical research is head of this. What would that mean for doing history? For the historical research method?

No more intellectual frameworks?

Fortunately for me, when I was attending my first symposium in the field of history, september 2012, Rotterdam, the Netherlands. All invited speakers were sixty years of age or older. They agreed on one thing. They said to us, a much younger audience: 'Don't do the same as we did'.


Uh?

Meaning what?

Subjects?
Time demarcations?
Space demarcations?
Method, perhaps?


Nobody paid attention at this, then. But now, I think it is becoming important. To change the way history is done or written.
