Deforestation as a threat for hydrology regime and wetlands
Original language description
The Šumava National Park (NP) was proclaimed in 1991 with an area of 680,6 km2. The subjects of protection are forests, peatbogs and other wetlands, glacial relief and cultural non-forested areas. Forest stands occupy 80 % of the area, and the most valuable are mountain spruces reaching the forest boundary (1100 - 1300m above sea level). In these plots non-interventional regime has been introduced since the 1990s, with assumption of no bark beetle growing. Ecological experts (unlike foresters) have claimed that these areas are resistant primeval forests, where the bark beetle is a natural part of the entomofauna and its overgrowth is impossible, because of the natural presence of the enemy which prevents the calamity development of the bark beetle. However, the bark beetle reproduced, a significant increase occurred in the years 2007 - 2011 after the hurricane Kyrill. As a result of the non-interventional regime, the loss of 14 000 hectares (ÚHUL1) and 6 500 hectares of forest in the neighbouring Bavarian NP, an estimated 8 million trees, is the result. Despite these facts, the expansion of the non-intervention zones continues to be promoted, with the aim of achieving a wilderness of 51% of NP territory.
