Using place names to interpret former floodplain
Original language description
Toponyms, or place names have been used to reveal historical land-use patterns based on degree of wetness in the Morava River floodplain. Eleven patch types were plotted on three land cover types representing broad ecological niches with different moisture regimes for four time periods. The river?s simultaneous decrease in sinuosity, which underscores the loss of the landscape?s ecohydrological connectivity, was quanified. The results show that long-term human-dominated land use worked in concert with anaturally occuring seasonal flood regime. The findings strongly indicate that high human density and intensive exploitation can co-exist with a functioning floodplain. Landscape change was interpreted by using a new concept, that of the place-name patch, which can be universally applied to interpret historical land use changes in river basins. Our method is reproducible in river basins with a history of intensive human use.

Využití toponymie pro rekonstrukci historické konektivity řeky Moravy.
Czech description
Nástrojem pro odhalení historických vzorů v krajině řeky Moravy byla toponymie. Bylo vytipovány a analyzováno 11 tříd - toponym, statisticky vyhodnoceny a porovnány. Výsledky ukazují, že intenzivně využívaná země může koexistovat s fungující říční krajinou.
