See my Q&A on the (lacking) definitions of habitat versus niche. The term "fundamental" further blurs the concept. With or without hunter-gathers universally using fire? With or without pre-industrial pastoralists also burning?

Dear Binoy,

Not really an answer to your question but you may find our paper interesting:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/318561746_Implementation_and_application_of_multiple_potential_natural_vegetation_models_-_a_case_study_of_Hungary?_sg=NGu1ObiC4MbNaHg2XPmz5NxHHVh5Ck4Y8XHh6ymuv_k-6y_r5_HbF3yPOI-A63RMpLYqmDwGWg9TOQYsaC02ItB0S5867dV536bYDC0A.8kxPWU51zAzf_rYzF42qr9jFAEaElaEOx9cmJQj22gOt8jY7wPqLMQLbDm8SUa2oWI-faYNKFkcAKeLEAqPHeA

It focuses on Multiple Potential Natural Vegetation (MPNV) models and discuss its possible applications in (1) landscape conservation, (2) restoration planning, and (3) evaluation of naturalness of landscapes.

HTH,
