Landscape archetypes as the elements of Slovak historical landscape structure

Impact of Water-Induced Processes on the Development of Tarns and Their Basins in the High Tatras

“…Up to now, research of the mountain lake tarns in the Malá and Veľká Studená dolina valley have shown a direct impact of morphodynamic processes and their source areas on successive fulfilling of tarn basins, which was also confirmed in several works (Gregor, Pacl, 2003Hreško et al, 2012) (Fig. 9).…”

“…During the research, they used the air raft on which they had an echo locator and they measured the depth every 5 m. After measuring, they obtained bathymetric maps of Ľadové tarn, Pusté tarn and Vyšné Sesterské tarn; in the process they used MapInfo and Surfer computer programs, where they applied the Krigings' method. Hreško et al (2012) studied the tarns in the High Tatras, focusing on the effects of morphodynamic changes in the surroundings of tarns and on their silting up. The first tarn was Popradské tarn, which represents a type of tarn silted up by fluvial delta with an advanced point of the succession of the vegetation.…”

Land use changes of historical structures in the agricultural landscape at the local level — Hriňová case study

“…This term, in medieval Czech, means "agricultural land belonging to one village", thus defining its crop fields, meadows, pastures and roads (Gojda, 2000;Sklenička et al, 2009). Similar developments in agricultural landscape structure have now been recorded in Slovakia (Hreško et al, 2010). Transformation of the cultural landscape and land use changes of the agricultural landscape in Slovakia were studied by Boltižiar, Chrastina, 2008;Blažík et al, 2011;Muchová et al, 2010. On the whole, traditional cultural landscape represents a specific, temporally limited and spatially shrinking subtype of landscape structures.…”

Environmental factors influencing the distribution of agricultural terraces: Case study of Horný Tisovník, Slovakia

“…Terraces are typical forms of landscape mosaic of the traditional agrarian ("plough land -meadow -grazing") landscape archetype in Slovakia. They have persisted predominantly in marginal agricultural sub-mountainous and mountainous areas, and, even there, only locally (Hreško et al, 2010).…”
