  • Numbers and Distribution
    Numbers and distribution The brown bear used to occur throughout the whole Europe. In the beginning of XIX century its range in Poland had already contracted and was limited to the Carpathians, the Białowieża Forest, the currently non-existent Łódzka Forest and to Kielce region (Jakubiec and Buchalczyk 1987). After World War I bears occurred only in the Eastern Carpathians. In the 1950’ the brown bears was found only in the Tatra Mountains and the Bieszczady Mountains and its population size was estimated at 10-14 individuals only (Buchalczyk 1980). In the following years a slow population increase was observed in the Polish Carpathians. Currently the brown bear’s range in Poland is limited to the Carpathians and stretches along the Polish-Slovak border. Occasional observations are made in the Sudetes where one migrating individual was recorded in the 1990’ (Jakubiec 1995). The total range of the brown bear in Poland is estimated at 5400-6500 km2. The area available for bears based on the predicative model for the habitat is much larger and may reach 68 700km2 (within which approx. 29000 km2 offers suitable breeding sites) (Fernández et al. 2012). Currently experts estimate the numbers of bears in Poland at merely 95 individuals. There are 3 main area of bear occurrence: 1. the Bieszczady Mountains, the Low Beskids, The Sącz Beskids and the Gorce Mountains, 2. the Tatra Mountains, 3. the Silesian Beskids and the Żywiec Beskids. It must be noted, however, that bears only breed in the Bieszczady Mountains, the Tatra Mountains and in the Żywiec Beskids. Poland is the north limit range of the Carpathian population (Swenson et al.

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.

Ekológia (Bratislava), Vol. 33, No. 4, p. 307–320, 2014. The article contributes to a deeper understanding of agricultural terraces in NW Slovakia. The agri- cultural terraces found in 12 mountain ranges were characterised in detail on 32 localities. The slope parts of the studied terraces are on average only 2.3 m wide and current and former agricultural areas between them are on average 11 m wide. Furthermore, seventy phytosociological relevés were made on the terraces. Overall, 360 species of vascular plants were found in the relevés, 66 of which appeared regularly. The localities were evaluated by DCA analysis. The main factor influencing the species com- position appears to be the geological composition of the bedrock and, probably, the altitude as well. High coverage of the herb layer (median value 95%), low coverage of the shrub layer (median value 5%) and the absence or a very low coverage of the tree layer is typical for these terraces. Key words: NW Slovakia, agricultural terraces, vascular plants species, properties of the terraces.

  • Assessment of Changes in a Viewshed in the Western Carpathians Landscape As a Result of Reforestation
    land Article Assessment of Changes in a Viewshed in the Western Carpathians Landscape as a Result of Reforestation Michał Sobala * , Urszula Myga-Pi ˛atek and Bartłomiej Szypuła Faculty of Natural Sciences, University of Silesia, 41200 Sosnowiec, Poland; [email protected] (U.M.-P.); [email protected] (B.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-32-3689-400 Received: 15 October 2020; Accepted: 3 November 2020; Published: 4 November 2020 Abstract: A viewshed analysis is of great importance in mountainous areas characterized by high landscape values. The aim of this research was to determine the impact of reforestation occurring on former pasturelands on changes in the viewshed, and to quantify changes in the surface of glades. We combine a horizontal and a vertical approach to landscape analysis. The changes in non-forest areas and the viewshed from viewpoints located in glades were calculated using historical cartographic materials and a more recent Digital Elevation Model and Digital Surface Model. An analysis was conducted using a Visibility tool in ArcGIS. The non-forest areas decreased in the period 1848–2015. The viewshed in the majority of viewpoints also decreased in the period 1848–2015. In the majority of cases, the maximal viewsheds were calculated in 1879/1885 and 1933 (43.8% of the analyzed cases), whereas the minimal ones were calculated in 2015 (almost 57.5% of analyzed cases). Changes in the viewshed range from 0.2 to 23.5 km2 with half the cases analyzed being no more than 1.4 km2. The results indicate that forest succession on abandoned glades does not always cause a decline in the viewshed.

  • Monografie Obcí a Miest Horného Považia
    Monografie obcí a miest Horného Považia bibliografický súpis z fondu Krajskej knižnice v Žiline 2016 Slovo na úvod Úsek regionálneho výskumu, dokumentov a informácií Krajskej knižnice v Žiline priebežne získava do svojho fondu vychádzajúce monografie obcí a miest okresov Žilina a Bytča. Ide o monografie, ktoré mestá a obce dokumentujú z rôznych uhlov pohľadu. Zachytávajú ich dejiny, cirkevnú históriu, vlastivedu, osobnosti, školstvo, ľudové tradície, pamätníky a v neposlednom rade aj bežný každodenný život ich obyvateľov. Monografie bývajú doplnené o bohatú fotografickú prílohu, archívne dokumenty, povesti a rôzne zaujímavosti a špecifiká jednotlivých obcí. Táto literatúra je po spracovaní sprístupňovaná používateľom knižnice a trvale uchovávaná pre budúce generácie. O literatúru, ktorá je spojená so životom našich regiónov, je v poslednom čase veľký záujem, keďže aj zo strany Európskej únie sa veľký dôraz kladie na regionalizmus. Preto aj jednou z priorít Krajskej knižnice v Žiline je doplňovanie knižničného fondu regionálnou literatúrou. Nebývalý záujem o náš región a jeho históriu nás priviedol k tomu, že sme sa rozhodli vydať bibliografický súpis, ktorého cieľom je predstaviť monografie nachádzajúce sa na našom odbornom pracovisku. V roku 2012 sme vydali bibliografický súpis Žilina : z fondu Krajskej knižnice v Žiline, ktorý je dostupný na webovej stránke a vo fonde knižnice. Z tohto dôvodu sme do aktuálneho súpisu mesto Žilina nezaradili. Súpis obsahuje 51 záznamov. Bibliografické záznamy sú radené v chronologickom poradí podľa roku vydania publikácie, obsahová charakteristika monografií je vyjadrená znakom MDT a predmetovými heslami. Súpis je doplnený o menný a geografický register. Zostavovateľky 3 1. 94(437.641.122.152) RAJECKÉ Rajecké Teplice / Jozef Cincík a kolektív.

  • Stredoveký Hrádok V Divinke a Divine 1
    SlovenSká archeológia lXVIII – 2, 2020, 335 – 351 DOI: https://doi.org/10.31577/slovarch.2020.68.14 STREDOVEKÝ HRÁDOK v Divinke a Divine 1 Michal holeščák – andrea Slaná Medieval Stronghold in Divinka and Divina. article focuses on the archaeological excavations of a strongold situ- ated on the border of cadastral areas of the villages divina and divinka, conducted by the authors of the paper in two summer seasons of 2018 and 2019. The site is situated on a conical hill with a two-tiered platform, on the top of which stood probably a wooden tower-like structure, protected by three lines of fortifications. a rampart was built at the foot of this castle, from which a wooden-clay structure has been preserved. at the edge of the main plateau was a second wooden-clay rampart reinforced with stone, which succumbed to fire. The last line of the fortification was a palisade, which protected the tower-like building. Based on a radiocarbon analysis supported by archaeological material, ceramics and arrowheads, it is possible to date the construction of the stronghold to the final quarter of the 13th century. Written reports on the construction of the site are non-existant. Based on the territorial ownership of the area, it can be assumed that it took place under the responsibility of the ancestors of the Balaša family, Biter, his brother Petr and his heirs. The fortification either served as the estate of the administrator of the valley of the streamd ivina, or as a checkpoint on the váh road or its branch. The demise of the locality, which lasted only a short time due to the compactness of the material, can be connected most probably with the territorial ambitions of MatthewIII csák of Trenčín, after which the process of restoration no longer took place and the newly created village divina began to grow under the researched hill.
