LANDSCAPE DIVERSITY EVALUATION ACCORDING TO LAND COVER CLASSES IN THE NORTHERN HINTERLAND OF THE ZEMPLÍNSKA ŠÍRAVA WATER RESERVOIR
Journal Title: FOLIA GEOGRAPHICA - Year 2008, Vol 47, Issue 1
Abstract
The observed territory delimited by the cadastral territories of the villages of vinne, kaluža, klokočov, kusín and Jovsa. it is located at the northern bank of Zemplínska šírava water reservoir. Until 1960s when the construction of water reservoir was finished the geographic situation of the territory was different. the southern part of region was spread in the partial Šírava rift valley. till the end of Riss there was a relative tectonic inactivity in this structure. the process of subsidence in Würm and in the post-glacial period evoked the origin of marshy environment in depression. considering the aspect of the landscape structure it was not appropriate to use it in agrarian system and even it was unhealthy. Based on the evaluation of the potential of the studied locality in melioration of the east-Slovakian lowland it was decided to integrate it into the system of retention water reservoir. it means, that the factor of the physicogeographic position of the studied territory that is located at the border of two contrast morphostructures with a different tectonic activity (the vihorlat mountains and east Slovakian lowland) caused (in relation to agricultural activity of man) in the studied region a significant change in the landscape structure, land cover and thus also in its biodiversity.
