Assessment of Changes of Forest Landscape During the Past 50 Years in the Vihorlat Highlands (Eastern Slovakia)
Lacina, Jan ; Halas, Petr ; Koutecký, T. ; Šebesta, J. ; Veska, J.
In the years 1968 – 1970 the forest typological survey were carried out in the western half of the Carpathian volcanic mountain range Vihorlat (Slowakia). Differentiation of forests into the units of potential natural vegetation followed geobiocenological school prof. A. Zlatník. During the typological survey 155 geobiocoenological plots were established on which phytocenosis and mostly also soil conditions were studied. In the years 2013 - 2015, thus after 45-47 years, most of these research plots were resampled. Our data showed that current phytocenosis doesn´t indicate habitat change resulting in conversion of potential forest vegetation. In terms of today´s forest management wide using of natural regeneration of deciduous tree species we consider as highly positive. However, some landscape changes, especially adverse succession on abandoned pastures located at the foot of the mountain range could cause impoverishment of biodiversity.
Geobiocoenological typification of Vihorlat mountains 40 years ago - recall
Lacina, Jan
Carpathian Vihorlat mountains (120 – 1075 m) was differentiate by typological survey at the turn of the 1960s and 1970s to 23 group of types biogeocen in interval the 1st oak vegetation belt to the 5th fir-beech vegetation belt. Many releves and soil analysis is at disposal. Similar survey is necessary repeat after 40 years. This survey contibute to understanding of the development of the nature forests.
