It all began with the first forest inventory and mapping (1764), the foundation of forest offices (1765 in mountain region, 1773 in lowland region) and the first legally binding Regulation (1769) which intro- duced sustainable forest management in Croatia. Forestry was born in the most forested part of Croatia, where it began its two-and-a-half-century long development. Natural resources represent common good and wealth. Their use, economic function and evalu- ation have to be planned directly since they represent the basis of future industrial and eco- nomic development. Forests are considered renewable natural resources, and the main charac- teristic of renewable natural resources is that their reserves are not permanent, but they can increase or decrease in future. However, a renewable natural resource cannot renew itself above the level determined by existing ecosystem’s capacity. Forestry economics encompasses all know- how related to forestry, and with the activities of market elements, it observes how a man and the society act in certain circumstances and conditions. The specific features of forest manage- ment are particularly manifested in the long-term biomass production cycle, the forests’ multi- ple functions and benefits, the fact that many of its values cannot be evaluated directly on the market, long period from the start of works, natural renewal, afforestation, nurture, cleaning, thinning, etc. to economic effects, which exceeds human lifetime. The forest sector has an im- portant influence on the rural development, contributing to poverty decrease, achieving sustain- able development and providing different ecological services. The priority of the world as a whole and each country should be to develop appropriate sustainable development

  • House in Carpathians1
    Ethnologia Polona, 2014, 35, s. 25-77 Ethnologia Polona, vol. 35: 2014, 25 – 77 PL ISSN 0137 - 4079 HOUSE IN CARPATHIANS1 JIŘÍ LANGER AND HELENA BOČKOVÁ ROŽNOV POD RADHOŠTĚM and BRNO, CZECH REPUBLIC INTRODUCTION The problem of the folk culture has always been a great topic for the ethnographers. Since the last century an attention of many explorers from many countries has focused on it. A common interest in finding the answers to the questions of the causes of the specifications of their cultural manifestation in the Carpathians connected them. They seemed to be different from firmly rooted ideas about the typical features of individual nations. Anachronisms provoke everybody who was looking for the originalities of their own national or Slavonic culture. They served to the creating of romantic fanta- sies about the culture in the mountains surviving into the period in which European nations formed. From the point of view of a historian this culture is considered to be very young, having been created before our eyes. Our generation could still study it by the very watching. We know it from autopsy. It differed from neighbouring lower situated areas with the early evolution forms, transferring of their phenomena for long distances, strong penetration and co operation with neighbouring social environments and ethnic heterogeneity. This all enabled people in the mountains to survive even in the worst climatic and social conditions. The principles of the folk culture being thought to be specific for the whole Carpathians touching vast areas of Europe connected fairly different forms of the way of the life from the Balkan to White Russia and from the river Morava (CZ) as far as the coast of the Black Sea.

Paleocene deposits of the Ukrainian Carpathians: geological and petrographic char- acteristics, reservoir properties. Baltica, 33 (2), 109–127. Vilnius. ISSN 0067-3064. Manuscript submitted 27 February 2020 / Accepted 10 August 2020 / Published online 03 Novemver 2020 © Baltica 2020 Abstract. The Paleocene Yamna Formation represents one of the main oil-bearing sequences in the Ukrai- nian part of the Carpathian petroleum province. Major oil accumulations occur in the Boryslav-Pokuttya and Skyba Units of the Ukrainian Carpathians. In the great part of the study area, the Yamna Formation is made up of thick turbiditic sandstone layers functioning as reservoir rocks for oil and gas. The reconstructions of depositional environments of the Paleocene flysch deposits performed based on well log data, lithological and petrographic investigations showed that the terrigenous material was supplied into the sedimentary basin from two sources. One of them was located in the northwest of the study area and was characterized by the predomi- nance of coarse-grained sandy sediments. Debris coming from the source located in its central part showed the predominance of clay muds and fine-grained psammitic material. The peculiarities of the terrigenous material distribution in the Paleocene sequence allowed singling out four areas with the maximum development (> 50% of the total section) of sandstones, siltstones and mudstones. The performed petrographic investigations and the estimation of reservoir properties of the Yamna Formation rocks in these four areas allowed establishing priority directions of further exploration works for hydrocarbons in the study territory.

  • Genetic Assessment of the Hucul Horse Breed
    Theses of Doctoral (PhD) Dissertation GENETIC ASSESSMENT OF THE HUCUL HORSE BREED Enikő Somogyvári Ph.D. candidate Dissertation supervisor: Dr. Sándor Mihók C.Sc. professor emeritus UNIVERSITY OF DEBRECEN Doctoral School of Animal Science Debrecen, 2019. 1 Introduction and goals of the doctoral dissertation The subject of the research is the Hucul breed, a unique horse breed of European animal breeding. It is unique not only in its appearance but considering also its region of origin. The breed has its origin in the Northeastern region of Wooded Carpathians, the Hucul, with an east-west length of 200 kilometers and a north-south length of 100 kilometers. Before the First World War, the Hucul region (HUZULEI) situated at the border of three countries, namely, Hungary, Bukovina, and Galicia. The impassable source area of the rivers Tisza, Prut, Cseremosz, and Brodina provided genetic isolation to the breed; the genetic structure of the breed was modified only in a negligible way through immigration. Due to the location of the region Hucul, Hungary has had a bond to the Hucul breed since its existence. Some individuals were also found in the country, at some larger estates. After the peace treaties of the First World War, Hungary bought four Hucul stallions and thirteen Hucul mares from the original Hucul population. These horses, together with some other individuals bought from the larger estates of the country, were accommodated at the military stud farm at Bántapuszta, founded in 1922. Hucul horses bought from Poland were also accommodated at Bántapuszta. Moreover, in 1939, the Hucul breed population of the Stallion Deposit at Turjaremete became the possession of Hungary.

FOREWORD This book was not originally written for you. Nevertheless, it may well transform your perspective on hiking and the Carpathians. At least this is what it has done for many. The Carpathian Games was intended for a circle of nature-loving fellows in the early 1980s in Czechoslovakia. It was published unofficially since its “truths were not for everyone’s ears.” However, words of the text were so touching that people would copy them on typewriters and circulate it amongst friends.

  • Developing the GIS-Based Maps of the Geomorphological and Phytogeographical Division of the Ukrainian Carpathians for Routine Use in Biogeography
    Biogeographia – The Journal of Integrative Biogeography 36 (2021): a009 https://doi.org/10.21426/B636052326 Developing the GIS-based maps of the geomorphological and phytogeographical division of the Ukrainian Carpathians for routine use in biogeography ANDRIY NOVIKOV Department of Biosystematics and Evolution of the State Natural History Museum of the NAS of Ukraine, Teatralna str. 18, 79008 Lviv (Ukraine) email: [email protected] Keywords: biogeography, mesoregional division, shapefile, Ukrainian Carpathians. SUMMARY The paper introduces GIS-based maps of the geomorphological and phytogeographical division of the Ukrainian Carpathians (a part of Eastern Carpathian Mts.), which were developed for routine use in biogeography and based on the consolidation of the existing publications. The map of the geomorphological division includes 57 OGUs (operational geographic units), and the map of the phytogeographical division – 18 OGUs of the lowest rank. Geomorphological units are supported with available synonyms, which should help in work with different topic-related Ukrainian publications. Both maps follow strict hierarchical classification and are briefly discussed.

  • Western Carpathians, Poland)
    Geological Quarterly, 2006, 50 (1): 169–194 Late Jurassic-Miocene evolution of the Outer Carpathian fold-and-thrust belt and its foredeep basin (Western Carpathians, Poland) Nestor OSZCZYPKO Oszczypko N. (2006) — Late Jurassic-Miocene evolution of the Outer Carpathian fold-and-thrust belt and its foredeep basin (Western Carpathians, Poland). Geol. Quart., 50 (1): 169–194. Warszawa. The Outer Carpathian Basin domain developed in its initial stage as a Jurassic-Early Cretaceous rifted passive margin that faced the east- ern parts of the oceanic Alpine Tethys. Following closure of this oceanic basin during the Late Cretaceous and collision of the Inner Western Carpathian orogenic wedge with the Outer Carpathian passive margin at the Cretaceous-Paleocene transition, the Outer Carpathian Basin domain was transformed into a foreland basin that was progressively scooped out by nappes and thrust sheets. In the pre- and syn-orogenic evolution of the Outer Carpathian basins the following prominent periods can be distinguished: (1) Middle Juras- sic-Early Cretaceous syn-rift opening of basins followed by Early Cretaceous post-rift thermal subsidence, (2) latest Creta- ceous-Paleocene syn-collisional inversion, (3) Late Paleocene to Middle Eocene flexural subsidence and (4) Late Eocene-Early Miocene synorogenic closure of the basins. In the Outer Carpathian domain driving forces of tectonic subsidence were syn-rift and thermal post-rift processes, as well as tectonic loads related to the emplacement of nappes and slab-pull. Similar to other orogenic belts, folding of the Outer Carpathians commenced in their internal parts and progressed in time towards the continental foreland. This process was initi- ated at the end of the Paleocene at the Pieniny Klippen Belt/Magura Basin boundary and was completed during early Burdigalian in the northern part of the Krosno Flysch Basin.

E-mail: [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0439-6642 Abstract. Chornohora is the highest mountain ridge in the Ukrainian Carpathians with 6 peaks of an altitude over 2,000 m above sea level (Hoverla is the highest peak, 2,061 m a.s.l). its climate is explored less than other mountain ridges in Europe. The massif is a climatic barrier for air mass- es on NW-SE line. To describe the climate of this area data from the weather station at Pozhyzhevs- ka alpine meadow for the years 1961-2010 were used. The seasonal and long-term variability of air temperature, atmospheric precipitation and snow cover were investigated on the background of air circulation types. The results show that general features of Chornohora climate depend both, on el- Key words: evation above sea level and on air circulation. Lowest temperature is observed at N-NE circulation Chornohora, and highest precipitation – at western air inflow. Long-term changes of examined climate elements Eastern Carpathians, in Chornohora show significant increase in mean (0.13°/10 years) and minimum (0.22°C/10 years) air air circulation, temperature as well as in snow cover depth and number of snowy days. mountain climate, climate changes Introduction were published in yearbooks of “Kosmos” journal (Szulc 1911, 1912).
