In this paper the intense land-use changes in the Karst region and the surrounding karst areas is presented. People first thoroughly cleared the previously forested landscape, and then in the nineteenth century planned reforestation began. After
the Second World War uncontrolled afforestation predominated. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, predominantly low-quality forest already covered two-thirds of the Karst region. - (IKR)
