Suchánková, Silvie ; Vild, Ondřej ; Szabó, Péter ; Chudomelová, Markéta ; Hédl, Radim
As a result of climate change, forestry has to deal with rapid changes of the environment. This has recently culminated in bark beetle calamities. More than ever before, there is a need for quality information about forests in order to implement effective adaptation measures to changing conditions. Knowledge of history allows us to understand the current situation and manage forests better. This methodology summarizes how to obtain and use the information on forest history. It provides an introduction to the study of archival materials in Czech archives and provides instructions for independent work. It focuses on the description of the archival network in the Czech Republic, introduces archival aids and archival terminology. It also lists important online databases and advises on how to proceed when working in the archive and when working with historical sources. Finally, the LONGWOOD database, containing large amounts of data on Moravian and Silesian forests is presented as an example of the use of archival materials.

Man and Forest in the history. Ambitious Theory versus Reality
Woitsch, Jiří
In the article prevailing historiographic conception of human perception of forest in Mediaeval and Early-modern times is criticized. This conception is based on structuralist theory of hierarchy of lived space, where forest is considered to be dangerous and feared area. Referring to many written, pictorial and other sources and using the concepts of Scandinavian ethnology and archaeology the author shows that forests in the Central Europe could and should be perceived in a very different way. Thanks the permanent overexploitation it could be even very positively evaluated space
