“…The periglacial landscape between the High Sudetes Mountains and the Bohemian Forest can be reconstructed by pollen analysis carried out also on other Late Glacial S372 V. Jankovská lake sediments (e.g., Hrabanov -Petr, 2005; lake Komořanské jezero -Jankovská, 1983-Jankovská, , 2000Labský důl valley -Jankovská, 2004a;Engel et al, 2004). Pollen analysis in the Bohemian Forest has a long tradition (Paul & Ruoff, 1927, 1932Müller, 1927;Rudolph, 1929;Kral, 1979;Stalling, 1987;Knipping, 1989;Brande, 1995;Svobodová et al, 2001Svobodová et al, , 2002Jankovská, 2004b). Pollen analysis on lakes of glacial origin in the Bohemian Forest were carried out on the youngest sediments of lakes Černé jezero, Čer-tovo jezero, and Prašilské jezero, mainly for the purpose of modern acidification studies (Břízová, 2004).…”

Pollen analysis has been carried out on a 549 cm thick sediment profile from lake Plešné jezero (Plešné Lake) in the Bohemian Forest (Šumava, Czech Republic; 1090 m a.s.l.; 48• 47 N; 13• 52 E). Analyses of 67 samples characterise the development of the lake biotope and the surrounding landscape during the last ca. 14,000 years. The pollen diagram shows a very distinct transition between the Late Glacial and the Holocene biostratigraphic units at a depth of ca. 312 cm. In the surroundings of Plešné Lake the vegetation was treeless during the entire Late Glacial. The alpine tree limit, formed by Betula and Pinus with undergrowth of shrubs, might have been at ca. 500 m a.s.l. Pollen transported from long distances was significant due to the openness of the landscape, coming from southern Europe and even Africa, and including high numbers of Artemisia, Poaceae, Chenopodiaceae, and some other herbs and shrubs from steppe and forest-steppe areas in southern Europe or Africa (likely Ephedra, certainly Lygeum spartum). The expansion of shrubs, particularly Juniperus, preceded the expansion of trees near the end of the Late Glacial. Afforestation of the region by thin stands of Betula and Pinus occurred during the Preboreal. Significant warming in the Boreal resulted in the expansion of Corylus, Quercetum mixtum (QM) trees, and probably also Picea and Alnus. Picea as well as QM trees were further expanding during the Early Atlantic. Picea was the dominant tree during the Late Atlantic and Fagus started to spread towards its end. Abrupt expansion of Abies marks the Subboreal. A high degree of afforestation (Abies, Fagus, Picea) was characteristic for the Early Subatlantic. During Late Subatlantic, pollen of synanthropic plants appears. Phases of the lake biotope development were defined on the basis of coccal green algae and Isoëtes.

“…Referenced data has enabled us, however, to compare our results with general palynological trends, primarily on the basis of the pollen record originating from the relatively large water surface of the ca 10 km distant Řežabinec (Rybníčková, Rybníček 1985). As documented in this pollen record and in pollen assemblages from the Bohemian Forest, the fir pollen curve reaches its maximum in the sub-boreal zone (Svobodová et al 2001;2002). Fir pollen grains are not transported all that far, the majority of the pollen grains settle within 0.5 km of the parent tree (Eisenhut 1961).…”

“…Their occurrence is traditionally primarily associated with medieval horizons (Kozáková et al 2009). Pollen grains of rye and cornflowers occasionally occur, however, in pollen diagrams coming from the upper parts of the Bohemian Forest from the sub-boreal zones, (Svobodová et al 2001;2002). Contamination with materials from later periods cannot be completely ruled out in the samples from Vrcovice.…”

“…Data from the adjacent are still lacking. The majority of the nearby cores originate from different natural habitats -from the Bohemian Forest mountain mires (Svobodová et al, 2001;2002) and the Třeboňsko basin marshlands (Jankovská 1980;Pokorný, Jankovská 2000). Even the relatively close core located at Kožlí (Pokorný, Kuneš 2009) is not sufficient for reconstruction of the hillfort surroundings, since it comes from small spring mire.…”

“…From the refugium of the Eastern Alps (Slovenia-Istria), beech spread to south Moravia (the border of the present Northpannonian, Hercynian and Westcarpathian sub-provinces), from which it expanded further north (Magri et al, 2006). Together with south Moravia, the Šumava Mts and the Bohemian Forest Mts also contributed as centres of the European beech distribution range during the last two glacial/interglacial cycles, as indicated from where the natural vegetation of central Europe originated (Svobodová et al, 2001).…”

Samec P., Kučera A., Rejšek K.: Soil heterogeneity reflected in biogeography of beech forests in the borderland between the Bohemian Massif and the Outer Western Carpathians. Ekológia (Bratislava), Vol. 33, No. 4, p. p. 321-343, 2014. Soil environment characteristics naturally affect the biogeographical classification of forests in central Europe. However, even on the same localities, different systems of vegetation classification describe the forest types according to the naturally dominant tree species with different accuracy. A set of 20 representative natural beech stands in the borderland between the Bohemian Massif (Hercynian biogeographical subprovince) and the Outer Western Carpathians (Westcarpathian subprovince) was selected in order to compare textural, hydrostatic, physico-chemical and chemical properties of soils between the included geomorphological regions, bioregions and biotopes. Differences in the soils of the surveyed beech stands were mainly due to volume weight and specific weight, maximum capillary capacity (MCC), porosity, base saturation (BS), total soil nitrogen (N t ) and fulvic acids. Specifics in the relations between these soil characteristics indicated that transient trans-Hercynian beech forests developed in the borderland between the two compared subprovinces. Soils of the investigated Hercynian beech forests were generally characterized by lower BS and lower N t . Soils of the trans-Hercynian beech forests were more similar to the Carpathian beech forest soils than soils in the other Hercynian beech forests. Soils of the trans-Hercynian and Carpathian beech forests showed similarly higher BS, deeper occurrence of humic substances, lower specific weight and also higher MCC. Higher content of humic substances as well as MCC indicated an equal effect on forest ecology, which may contribute to more accurate classification of forests.
