My thoughts mostly move towards considerations on everything we should do to ensure a problem-free future for the national park and its natural values. However, this year is different. Many times I have found myself thinking about what it looked like here 50 years ago, when the national park was founded. What problems our colleagues had to face, the huge amount of work they carried out, and the credit they deserve for the fact that the Krkonoše nature has been care- fully protected for half a century. There were many problems and expectations, but certainly much pleasure in their work too. The first director, Miroslav Klapka began to build the Krkonoše National Park along with a few experts. Their work was pioneering and certainly deserves our admiration today. Names such as Josef Fanta, eva Kalašová, Vladimír Šatný, Václav Veselý, Zdena Beranová and Josef Horáček will always remain connected to the early days of the KrNaP administration and its operations. as time went by, it became clearer that the establishment of a national park had been necessary.

I remem- ber these working years very positively, as I gained my first experiences of caring for forest ecosystems in montane conditions. The Krkonoše Mountains were nearby and on frequent visits to the Góry Kaczawskie Mountains, in the surroundings of Bolków or Kaczorów; I could observe the beautiful panorama of the Western sudetes with the high- est belt of Krkonoše in the background. My love of, and interest in, high mountain nature led to my dream coming true when I started to work for the Karkonoski Park Narodowy (KPN). The early months, or even years, evoked many doubts, sometimes even feelings of hopelessness. We observed and endured the results of the ecological disasters which afflicted the Krkonoše and Jizerské hory Mountains. The theoretical knowledge gained from my studies and work in the state Forest Company, were of little use in the organi- sation of work in the field of nature protection in the park and forest ecosystems. The variety and extent of the threats were so serious, that it was necessary to get to know and analyse them from scratch. I became convinced after 10 several years spent in KPN, that Krkonoše are the I became the Director of KPN, I have been primarily most beautiful mountains in the world.

  • The Historical Cultural Landscape of the Western Sudetes. an Introduction to the Research
    Summary The historical cultural landscape of the western Sudetes. An introduction to the research I. Introduction The authors of the book attempted to describe the cultural landscape created over the course of several hundred years in the specific mountain and foothills conditions in the southwest of Lower Silesia in Poland. The pressure of environmental features had an overwhelming effect on the nature of settlements. In conditions of the widespread predominance of the agrarian economy over other categories of production, the foot- hills and mountains were settled later and less intensively than those well-suited for lowland agriculture. This tendency is confirmed by the relatively rare settlement of the Sudetes in the early Middle Ages. The planned colonisation, conducted in Silesia in the 13th century, did not have such an intensive course in mountainous areas as in the lowland zone. The western part of Lower Silesia and the neighbouring areas of Lusatia were colonised by in a planned programme, bringing settlers from the German lan- guage area and using German legal models. The success of this programme is consid- ered one of the significant economic and organisational achievements of Prince Henry I the Bearded. The testimony to the implementation of his plan was the creation of the foundations of mining and the first locations in Silesia of the cities of Złotoryja (probably 1211) and Lwówek (1217), perhaps also Wleń (1214?). The mountain areas further south remained outside the zone of intensive colonisation. This was undertak- en several dozen years later, at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, and mainly in the 14th century, adapting settlement and economy to the special conditions of the natural environment.

L’étude est basée sur un ensemble de mesures de température (GST, sous-sol) et de neige, ainsi que des modèles spatiaux de distribution potentielle de la GST et des simulations numériques du régime thermique du sol. Les résultats montrent que la distribution de la GST sur le plateau est principalement corrélée avec la répartition du couvert nival. Au-dessus de la limite de la végétation, le plateau est caractérisé par un couvert de neige peu épais et discontinu en hiver en raison de la topographie du site et l’action des forts vents. La GST est alors couplée avec les températures de l’air amenant des conditions froides en surface.

  • Promoting and Interpreting Geoheritage at the Local Level—Bottom-Up Approach in the Land of Extinct Volcanoes, Sudetes, SW Poland
    Geoheritage https://doi.org/10.1007/s12371-019-00357-2 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Promoting and Interpreting Geoheritage at the Local Level—Bottom-up Approach in the Land of Extinct Volcanoes, Sudetes, SW Poland Edyta Pijet-Migoń1 & Piotr Migoń2 Received: 5 November 2018 /Accepted: 10 April 2019 # The Author(s) 2019 Abstract This paper reviews recent developments focused on the promotion of geoheritage in the region of Kaczawskie Mountains and Kaczawskie Foothills in the Sudetes, SW Poland. Since ancient volcanic features are of primary interest, the brand name BLand of Extinct Volcanoes^ is consistently used in territorial marketing, although geoheritage values cover much wider spectrum of geology and geomorphology. The scientific understanding of Earth history was long realized by restricted academic circles only, but since the 1990s, increasing attempts to develop regional tourist product based on geoheritage have been observed. They intensified in the twenty-first century, with the bottom-up approach evidently taking over, although close, formalized collaboration with scientists is a distinctive feature. The long-term goal of the Local Action Group is to join the UNESCO Global Geopark network and step by step the relevant criteria are being fulfilled. The case of Land of Extinct Volcanoes illustrates the crucial role of local communities and local leaders in the long-term strategy of geoheritage promotion and geotourism development.

  • Treeline Dynamics on Southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia
    Western Geography, 10/11(2000/01), pp. 43–63 ©Western Division, Canadian Association of Geographers Treeline Dynamics on Southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia Colin P. Laroque, David H. Lewis and Dan J. Smith* Department of Geography—Ring Laboratory University of Victoria Victoria, BC V8W 3P5 This paper describes the nature of treeline dynamics and upper-elevation tree establishment patterns on southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia. We examined tree growth, climate and seedling relationships at three upper-elevation locations using standard dendroecolog- ical approaches. Our data suggest that this habitat has experienced species-specific pulses of tree establishment that have had a major impact on the character of the local treeline boundaries. The stem data collected within quadrats at Gemini Mountain and Haley Bowl show that seedling establishment within the last three cen- turies was episodic and linked to historical climatic pat- terns. Successful mountain hemlock establishment in this setting is restricted to periods characterized by either cool summers and shallow winter snowpacks, or warmer than normal summers and moderately deep snowpacks. The establishment of amabilis and subalpine fir seedlings appears restricted to intervals with cool growing seasons and moderately deep seasonal snow- packs. Episodic seedling establishment in the 20th cen- tury has resulted in a gradual infilling of the local tree- line and the development of a more structured parkland belt that is expected to have habitat implications for endangered Vancouver Island marmot. Keywords: dendroecology, subalpine meadows, seedling establishment, tree rings, Vancouver Island, Vancouver Island marmot. *Corresponding author 44 Laroque, Lewis & Smith Introduction Little is known of the nature of long-term treeline dynamics on Vancouver Island.
