Abstract
Four different periods of landscape development have been differentiated: AD 1000 to 1600, semi-open (20-70%) landscape with increasing intensity of agriculture and openness; AD 1600 to 1870, open (>Â 70%) landscape resulting from extensive agrarian activities including slash-and-burn agriculture; AD 1870 to 1950, cultural landscape with variable openness (70-80%) and AD 1950 to 2000, modern overgrowing semi-open (<Â 70%) landscape.
