Land-use change in different natural habitats of the Vistula river valley during the 19th and 20th centuries

Auteur :
KOWALSKA, A.

Description :
This paper concerns the extent and causes of spatial and temporal land-use changes ongoing in different habitats of the Vistula River valley in central Poland, between Warsaw and Włocławek. The study period spans about 150 years. The analysis was based on digital topographical maps from the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as a potential vegetation map. The history of land-use change was shown to be different in each habitat in the study area, while the character of land-use and direction of changes that did arise were mostly determined by habitat conditions.
