| Description | The Czech tradition of landscape map compilation is more than 100 years long and developed itself in a close respect to the progress in the world presented in a brief overview in the paper. The completing the new project of the Landscape Atlas of the Czech Republic gives a good opportunity to present results of Czech landscape cartography products. The Atlas consists of a set of traditional and newly composed landscape maps, everyone in a digital form. They present the spatial variability and integration of the natural and present landscape, changes of its structure from site to site and in the course of time. The maps of nature landscape show the territorial distribution of natural landscape ecological units (natural geosystems) and give a synthetic view on the nature of given territory. The maps of present landscape demonstrate the present state of the landscape especially from the point of view of its anthropogenic transformation and use by man. The digital landscape maps simulate an integrated database of GIS. |
