Changes and trajectories of wetlands in the lowland landscape of the Czech Republic

Original language description

Wetland biotopes play many roles in the landscape. The primary objective of this study was to analys ehistorical long-term changes of wetlands in the lowland areas of the Czech Republic, with emphasis ontheir spatio-temporal changes in the landscape and with stress on the use of different types of information sources. The sources used for thestudy included historical maps from the Stable Land Registry 1841, a current orthophoto map (2015),the DIBAVOD database, LPIS (Land-Parcel Identification System) database verification, the Czech Land Registry, and field mapping (2015). Three wetland biotope types were examined: swamps and marshes, waterlogged meadows, and waterlogged woody vegetation. Spatial analysis using GIS tools (intersection,symmetrical difference) was performed to analyse the spatio-temporal wetland changes. The total wetland area has decreased dramatically from 5762 ha (over 9,5% of the territory included in the study) in1825-1843 to 54 ha (0,9%) in 2014. Extinct wetlands predominate (99,
