DYNAMIC OF CHANGES IN THE FOREST COVER OF THE AREA OF THE STARE HORY MOUNTAINS – METHODOLOGY OF RESEARCH
Abstract:
The current appearance of the forest cover of the Stare Hory Mountains is the result of the use of its geosystems by humans during the historical and development process. Human activities have explo-ited the material potential of the mountain landscape to the extreme limits of its carrying capacity. They focused on mineral raw materials (mainly copper ore mining), water and forest resources. Human impacts on forest cover have seen significant acceleration in the last 1000 years, which have identified the structure, properties, condition and forestry processes.
