These factors are defined as “stress factors, negative elements”. They include the socio-economic factors resulting from human activities and plans in the landscape, which adversely affect natural development of ecosystems, but also create potential landscape barriers which disrupt the spatial continuity of TSES. They can be represented by tangible and intangible products of human activity. Based on their genesis, they can be divided into two groups (Izakovičová 1996a, b, 1997, 2000):Primary stress factors—primary causes of stress. The group comprises semi-natural and artificial physical anthropogenic elements (industrial and agricultural buildings, road areas and lines, surfaces and structures of agriculture and forestry, residential and recreational areas, etc.). These stressors are characterised by their distinct spatial manifestation in the landscape. The mere presence of a stress factor in the landscape already causes stress which, from the point of TSES, then leads to changes in landscape structure and its use (loss of natural ecosystems due to the pressure of anthropic activities) and impedes the flow of genetic information, migration of biota. The material substance of the primary stress factors is mapped in the form of CLS elements.
