Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The base line of this paper is a forest reconstruction covering the central part of theTrans-Tisza region (9331 km2, Eastern Hungary, Central Europe) and spanning the pastthousand years. The medieval records on arboreal plants, forests and areas covered bywoody vegetation of the 18th and 21st centuries showed a significant overlap in the wetland landscape. The analysis, however, discovered medieval forests, which were not figured on the late 18th century map of the First Military Survey. The results of the reconstruction pointed out the scarcely utilized opportunities of the medieval historical sources,695including place names, for quantitative spatial examinations. But they also demonstratedthe narrowness of such a comprehensive positivist data collection when aiming at a reconstruction of the forest coverage in a medieval open landscape, such as the HungarianPlain. Since a significant expansion of the medieval written sources or archaeologicaldata is not expected. Due to environmental conditions, the opportunities of enviro-archaeological reconstructions are also limited on the Hungarian Plain, two proxies of forestcoverage were examined: 1. forest grazing as an indicator of human pressure on forests;2. structural changes of houses and furnace types of ovens and heating systems. Disappearing wooden posts from the wall structures of peasant houses from the 16th centuryand the 18th century spread of beehive-shape oven suitable for massive burning of herbaceous plants may refer to disappearing forests, as reconstructed by the historical records.These transformations seem to be in connection with the decreasing availability of woodmaterial from the 16th century. This process may have even accelerated after the postOttoman, 18th century resettlement of the Hungarian Plain. The results suggest that thoughthe late medieval and early modern transformation of the forest coverage on the Hungarian Plain remains unclear, however, based on the analysed sources, we cannot refute thatthe extension of the floodplain forests may have declined significantly during the periodof the Ottoman occupation (1641-1686) and the post-Ottoman war (1703-1711)
