Geodiverzita a hydrodiverzita – Cílek Václav (2020)

The main text of this book presents an inventory of various rocks and reliefs that determine or at least influence the biology of the landscape. And because 'icons' of Czech and Moravian national identity – Velehrad, Prague Castle, Karlštejn, the rotunda on Říp – have been built on significant hills, along rivers, and generally in rugged terrain, it is evident that geodiversity is also at the beginning of most cultural values of our landscape. The second part of the book focuses on the future: What will the landscape look like with uneven rainfall and longer episodes of drought, with higher average temperatures? We are almost certain that the future landscape will require a return to old forest care techniques, traditional soil stewardship, but at the same time, we cannot do without the latest technologies and experimentation with irrigation methods, new crops, and forest tree species.
