Sinuosity and edge effect ? important factors of landscape pattern and diversity
Original language description
The paper is focused on two crucial landscape-forming aspects: linear elements (watercourses, linear tree plantings, road network) and neighbouring edges of landscape segments ? ecotones. Linear elements accentuate the character of landscape, its division, pattern, and significantly contribute to landscape passability and its diversity. The edges of neighbouring landscape segments not only create the spatial arrangement of landscape but also they are important habitats of plants and animals. So they areirreplaceable for the maintenance of ecological stability of landscape and they are an important element of its biodiversity. The analysis of trends of changes in the length of linear elements and ecotone edges was performed in three time horizons ? inthe 1st half of the 19th century, in the sixties of the 20th century and at the present time. The evaluation was done in four model territories. The paper contains evaluation of the sinuosity of linear elements (roads and railways, waterc
