, and possibly even earlier, the Glubczyce Plateau has been a deforested region. Despite the mountainous character of the headwater area of rivers in the Eastern Sudety foreland, sediment transfer from sub-mountainous loess-covered uplands, induced by human

ages are best explained by a relatively sudden onset of deforestation and cultivation of the valley bottom and slopes in the middle of the second millenium. This corresponds well with palynological, archaeological and historical data on the agricultural

deforestation began, sediment production has largely been determined by landslide events. On unstable slopes, thousands of landslides were triggered by high-magnitude/low-frequency climatic events during storms with estimated return periods in excess of 50 years
