Landscape and land use forms have been changing constantly throughout history. The investigation area is located in the Eastern Carpathians, a modest basin, where the variable land use forms – pasture, hayfield, forest, forested pasture, forested hayfield and arable land – form a mosaic-like scenery.
Our investigation covers a period of 23 years, based on field work and historical analogue map-analysis. The survey provides data regarding the transformation of land use through two decades and also makes further research possible.
