Abstract

The study area is Šumava National Park (ŠNP), the largest of the four national parks located in the south-west of the Czech Republic, established as a special regime of environmental protection. A unique mosaic of forest habitats of exceptional natural value of European-wide significance, the ŠNP represents the largest terrestrial significant part of the Natura 2000 network in Czech Republic and Germany with unique mosaic of forest biotopes, rare, endemic and endangered species. It forms one of the largest forested areas between the Atlantic Ocean and the Ural. Recently, the ŠNP experienced changes in the landscapes and ecological community dynamics due to both natural climate changes and human impacts. Some parts of ŠNP are deforested and used for agriculture in the last decades.
