Coppicing started in the Neolithic period and has been practiced throughout European history. This traditional silvicultural system was abandoned many countries during 20th century. The Czech Republic now a very low proportion of coppice woods (CW), as more than 1000 km2 CW were converted into high forests after World War II. Nevertheless, maintained stored coppices, which could be last remainders ancient (ACW) Republic. Knowledge area distribution coppices is currently missing Republic,...
Abstract Ancient coppice woodlands are coppice-originated forest stands with a long-term continual development, and the preserved typical natural historic elements of old sprout forests. Prominent in ancient namely stools. There is, scientific literature, lack information about features Therefore, our contribution aims to describe shape form stools, including most important microhabitat – dendrothelms. Based on field survey 20 localities we recorded 135 stools 13 tree species total 80...
Abstract The contribution of Green Infrastructure (GI) in vital areas such as regional development, climate change, agriculture, forestry and environmental protection is already acknowledged listed one the priorities several key EU policies, basis for Strategy. However, concept not yet fully integrated into actual planning strategies, this respect Czech Republic no different. A major problem doing so a lack guidelines/ how to identify map GI using available sources thus keeping costs down....
The concept of Green Infrastructure (GI) is still relatively new in the Czech Republic. When looking at definition GI, one can recognise a relationship with Territorial System Ecological Stability (TSES), which defined as “an interconnected system natural well modified semi-natural ecosystems keeping balance”. TSES designed and an integral part territorial plans. This article focuses on its to how it implemented case study representing intensively used agricultural region South Moravia, what...

One of the current research projects in Czech Republic, focusing on complex landscape is represented by Centre for Landscape and Biodiversity (Divland).Within this project, one part focuses historical cultural landscapes their structures.Historical are longterm created influenced human activities.These mainly sustainable activities without intensive mechanization, lead to an increase natural values area.The vineyard can be also evaluated as valuable structures landscape.In model area around...
AbstraktZelená infrastruktura (ZI) může být považována za jeden z konceptů, jehož optimalizace nabízí potenciál zmírnění některých současných environmentálních problémů (např.klesající biodiverzitu, akcelerace změny klimatu, nadužívání krajiny
Abstract The article analyses possibilities of using landscape paintings in the studies land cover changes. It examines 112 from 1728 till 1976 and compares them with existing topographic maps. depicted present it changes derived maps several periods, ranging 1764 2006. In order to make analyses, all had be localised as precisely possible. This was done help map by field work. Field work also necessary for identifying main use/cover comparison painting. A TopoLandUse database, consisting use...
Abstract In the 1970s and 1980s, concept of ecological networks was developed in Czech Republic. The first biocorridors were established on arable land beginning 1990s. One them Vracov biocorridor. This paper deals with growth development trees two permanent research plots period from 1993–2021. biocorridor, repeated inventories woody plants monitoring biometrical parameters shrubs carried out. number has been decreasing as level stand canopy increased. Moreover, mean heights diameters...
The paper presents partial results of "entering" landscape photography, which can be considered as a complementary method for the research changes.Unlike usual assessment changes using cartographic and other archival sources, old photographs contribute to deeper knowledge local specifics examined places or supplement conventional procedures.Thanks ongoing project, supported by Technology Agency Czech Republic (TL02000222), we documented in photographic shots various landscapes 20th...
