Monumental trees as a new phenomenon of recreational landscape utilization

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The contribution presents results of terrain mapping of monumental trees in the area of floodplain forests along the confluence of Thaya and Morava rivers in the Czech Republic. The study region is located within the Lower Morava Biosphere Reserve and is part of NATURA 2000. Therefore, this region represents an important object from the viewpoint of recreational landscape utilization, where monumental trees, so-called veterans, can increase the tourist potential of this region, especially in the context of the overall decline of monumental trees in the European landscape. Currently, the monumental trees are disappearing mainly due to ongoing climate change, changes in groundwater levels as well as fungal diseases. Based on terrain mapping, a total of 648 trees were recorded in the categories: A) veterans - trees with largest dimensions in the region, B) candidates - trees with the potential to grow to veteran dimensions, and C) fallen trees or torsos. The following parameters were identified: GPS position, stem girth, tree height, crown diameter and health status. We recorded 245 veterans and 80 candidates for different tree species. Of this number, 69 trees grew as solitaires, i.e. the trees most attractive to the public using the area for recreation. This data can serve as a source of information for forestry management, nature conservation and recreational landscape use.
