Comparative analysis of the impact of slope inclination and altitude on long-term land use changes in Czechia

Original language description

The aim of this article is to compare the effects of altitude and slope inclination on the spatial distribution of selected categories of land use. This study is based on Czechia's lucc database 1845-1948-1990-2000. the database contains nearly 9,000 basic territorial units and 8 lucc categories that can be compared in all of the time periods mentioned. For the purpose of calculating the average altitude and slope inclination, a digital terrain model (DTM) of Czechia was created using interpolation methods. Evidence concerning the increasing significance of inclination in the spatial distribution of arable land and grasslands after 1948 may be the most important finding. While in 1845, the first year in the database, altitude basically determined the location of arable land; after the World War ii, there was a turn in this trend. Mainly in connection with the development of agro-industrial forms (the introduction of modern heavy machinery, the automation of modern cultivation methods,
