Landscape and ownership

I read "Denatured Visions" as a reference for my extended essay.
I have read the book occasionally since last year, but I found that I have had a different perception each reading. This time, I focused on the relationship between landscape and ownership; being owned by the nobility, a landscape was a symbol of power. Merchants and lawyers created their own personal landscape like a picture. Farmers managed coppice woodland to have some products such as fuel and material for fences. So the relationship between contemporary landscapes and ownership should be..?
