| Description | The system of alluvial plains represent some kind skeleton of given landscape connecting its individual segments by the matter exchange and transportation. Present landscape view is resulted by its development in Quaternary period, but there are some evidences of impacts inherited from Tertiary here. Pre-Quaternary geological environment influences the present-day alluvium directly by rocks and deposits - narrower Dyje valley segments, strait Morava valley. Since the Holocene beginning, the re-deposition of Pleistocene gravel and sand run continously, at the time of Middle Holocene the accummulation of loamy flood deposits was added. Merchant roads and paths crossed the alluvium usually following the course of agradation dykes. Intense human impact started in the second half of the 19th century. More intensive land utilizing was followed with flood dykes construction, and later ignited the nature protection and preservation of historically important sites. |
