Recent Landform Evolution in the Moravian-Silesian Carpathians (Czech Republic)
Original language description
Topographic changes in the Moravian-Silesian Carpathians have been due to variations of natural conditions (climatic changes, accelerated rates of exogenic geomorphic processes during the Little Ice Age), but mainly to the growing intensity of human activities (tillage, deforestation, accelerated soil erosion, urban sprawl). In this geomorphologically highly sensitive region, land-use changes exerted a great influence on the intensity and type of exogenic geomorphological processes in the last millennium. Their impact is studied on archive maps. The density of slope deformations (like deep-seated slope failures, lateral spreading, toppling, sackung, translational and rotational landslides, earthflows, debris flows, and rockfalls) in the study area is the highest in the Czech Republic.Other geomorphic processes presented in this overview are erosion by water on the surface and underground (piping), wind erosion, and a range of anthropogenic processes.
