Proposed methodology of LCA was applied in the southwestern part of Biele Karpaty Mountains (White carpathians) in Western slovakia. the model area is interesting because of the unique cultural landscape with characteristic dispersed settlement and mainly extensive farming. A part overlaps with the landscape Protected area White carpathians, whose boundary has changed during the time. consequently more valuable places have been separated from less valuable areas from the aspect of nature and landscape protection. one of the aims of the master thesis was whether it applied to the landscape character as well. Key words: landscape character, landscape character assessment, landscape unit, landscape area, White carpathians 1.

I, no.1, 2006, pp 31-60 SETTLEMENT HISTORY AND SUSTAINABILITY IN THE CARPATHIANS IN THE EIGHTEENTH AND NINETEENTH CENTURIES David TURNOCK* ∗ Geography Department, The University Leicester LE1 7RH, U.K. Abstract: As part of a historical study of the Carpathian ecoregion, to identify salient features of the changing human geography, this paper deals with the 18th and 19th centuries when there was a large measure political unity arising from the expansion of the Habsburg Empire. In addition to a growth of population, economic expansion - particularly in the railway age - greatly increased pressure on resources: evident through peasant colonisation of high mountain surfaces (as in the Apuseni Mountains) as well as industrial growth most evident in a number of metallurgical centres and the logging activity following the railway alignments through spruce-fir forests. Spa tourism is examined and particular reference is made to the pastoral economy of the Sibiu area nourished by long-wave transhumance until more stringent frontier controls gave rise to a measure of diversification and resettlement. It is evident that ecological risk increased, with some awareness of the need for conservation, although substantial innovations did not occur until after the First World War Rezumat: Ca parte componentă a unui studiu asupra ecoregiunii carpatice, pentru a identifica unele caracteristici privitoare la transformările din domeniul geografiei umane, acest articol se referă la secolele XVIII şi XIX când au existat măsuri politice unitare ale unui Imperiu Habsburgic aflat în expansiune.

Environ- mental monitoring in relation to not only climate change but also globalization is currently essential. The present study aimed to detect tick-borne pathogens of the genera Anaplasma, Rickettsia and Francisella in Ixodes ricinus ticks collected from the natural environment, i.e., recreational areas and pastures used for livestock grazing. A total of 1619 specimens of I. ricinus were collected, including ticks of all life stages (adults, nymphs and larvae). The study was performed using the PCR technique. Diagnostic gene fragments msp2 for Anaplasma, gltA for Rickettsia and tul4 for Francisella were ampli- fied. No Francisella spp. DNA was detected in I. ricinus. DNA of A. phagocytophilum was detected in 0.54% of ticks and Rickettsia spp. in 3.69%. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that only one species of Rickettsia, R. helvetica, was present in the studied tick population. The present results are a Citation: Kirczuk, L.; Piotrowski, M.; part of a large-scale analysis aimed at monitoring the level of tick infestation in Northwest Poland.

  • Forests in Poland 2013 Forests in Poland 2013 Poland in Forests
    FORESTS IN POLAND 2013 FORESTS IN POLAND 2013 State Forests 1 Forests in Poland 2013 The Forest Act of 28 September 1991 requires that the State Forests publish an annual report on the condition of forests in Poland. This brochure is a shortened version of the report for 2012, which is based on the materials obtained from the Ministry of the Environment, the Directorate-General of the State Forests, the Forest Research Institute, the Forest Management and Geodesy Bureau, the Central Statistical Office and on international statistics. The report details the condition of Polish forests under all forms of ownership in 2012 in the context of the data from recent years. Where it was possible and justified, the report refers to the data from other countries whose natural conditions are comparable to those in Poland: France, the German-speaking countries (Austria, Germany, Switzerland), Central European countries (the Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia and Hungary), the eastern neighbours of Poland (Belarus, Lithuania, Ukraine) and the Scandinavian countries (Finland, Norway, Sweden) which represent different types of forestry to that established in Central Europe). The scope of the report includes three groups of issues: forest resources in Poland, functions of forests and threats to the forest environment. FORESTS IN POLAND 2013 2 Forest resources in Poland 1. Forest area and forest cover In our climatic and geographical zone, forests are the least dis- torted natural formation. They are a necessary element of eco- logical balance and, at the same time, a form of land use which ensures biological production with a market value. Forests are the common good which enhances the quality of human life.

  • Chalcolithic Settlement Strategies of the Bošáca Culture in the White Carpathians
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 10, Issue 1, January-2019 1159 ISSN 2229-5518 Chalcolithic settlement strategies of the Bošáca culture in the White Carpathians Filip Ondrkál1 1Department of Archaeology, Faculty of Arts, Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic Abstract– The paper observes the system strategies of the Bošáca archaeological culture (3200-2800 BC) in the White Carpathians microregion and its adaptation to environmental conditions in order to understand how they could affect its settlement development. The Bošáca intercultural conditions in the relatively small area of the White Carpathians appear to be quite variable (type of settlement, funeral rituals), which can be assumed in the economic aspects of society. In this context, it is necessary to perceive specific sources of the radiolarite in the area of the Vlára pass, because it can be very closely related to the contrasting settlement strategies of one culture in the microregion. This element could increase the local centrality of the society, where this culture have been creating a specific product range for regional and long-distance trade. Index Terms– The Bošáca culture, radiolarite, The White Carpathians, settlement strategies, long-distance trade, Bošáca – Pohanské pole, Bánov – Hrad, Ivanovce – Skala 1 INTRODUCTION point of view of potential discoveries of new Chalcolithic sites, it is necessary to observe this Carpathians region. The White Carpathians microregion is an ideal area for studying this type of research not only for
