Historical land use reconstructions help to assess climate change, interactions between ecosystems and human and strengthen the knowledge about these interactions. They are conducted on the basis of historical maps that only cover certain areas. Hence, there is a need to seek other maps enabling historical land use to be reconstructed. The aim of study is to assess the suitability of contemporary maps for reconstructing a historical non-forest area range in the Western Carpathians. The content of contemporary maps was compared with that of historical maps, including the number of glades, their area and the length of their boundaries. Over 60% of glades were reconstructed, which is 90% of the glade area inventoried based on historical maps. Over 50% glades with an area of less than 1ha were not reconstructed. However, the area they occupy does not account for 2% of the total glade area. Thus, it has no significant impact on the total area of the reconstructed glades. As much as 90% of the boundaries' length was reconstructed. The study shows that contemporary maps may be useful in reconstructing the forest and glades range and may be an additional source of information to verify the content of historical maps.

基于当代地图资料的历史土地覆盖重建


历史土地利用重建有助于评估气候变化、生态系统与人类之间的相互作用，并加强对这些相互作用的了解。它们是根据仅覆盖某些区域的历史地图进行的。因此，有必要寻找其他能够重建历史土地利用的地图。研究的目的是评估当代地图重建西喀尔巴阡山脉历史非森林地区范围的适用性。将当代地图的内容与历史地图的内容进行了比较，包括空地的数量、面积和边界长度。超过 60% 的林间空地被重建，这是根据历史地图清查的林间空地面积的 90%。超过50%的面积小于1公顷的空地没有重建。然而，它们所占据的面积并不占林间空地总面积的2%。因此，对重建空地的总面积没有显着影响。多达 90% 的边界长度被重建。研究表明，当代地图可能有助于重建森林和空地范围，并且可能是验证历史地图内容的额外信息来源。
