Abstract

During the inventory of pre-industrial landscape segments in Moravia (approximately the eastern one third of the territory of the Czech Republic), around 800 secondary landscape structures (land use mosaics) have been registered. In these areas, there is the same or very similar landuse as it was recorded by the maps of the so-called stable cadastre completed in the 1820s. Other quantitative and qualitative characteristics were found for each identified landscape segment with unchanged or stable land use mosaic. The results of the geodatabase analysis of the pre-industrial landscape segments are presented in this paper with respect to the altitude. The results show that although numerous segments of stable ancient landscapes have been preserved at higher altitudes, larger individual areas and larger total area of the ancient landscape exist on more fertile soils in lower positions. The hypotheses attempting to explain this territorial disparity offer the text of the paper.
