13.5 Conclusions

The southern Podpolanie region has been known in Slovakia mainly due to preserved folk traditions. Recently, more discussed is the protection of the unique character of landscape. Additionally, we observed in the field, historical technical objects—catchworks that have not yet been documented at any locality in Slovakia. The investigated landscape has heterogeneous land cover with persisting traditional agriculture. A large representation of woody vegetation formations and their variability supports the ecosystem stability of the territory. It also enriches the variability of land cover patches which is so characteristic for this landscape. A number of European and nationally significant biotopes of plants is present in the territory. This work directly does not prove the diversification of biotopes by catchworks. But based on the functionality of catchworks we show the need for their adequate maintenance. This step should be prevention before the loss of biotopes due to successional processes.
