JOINING OF HISTORIC AND NATURE HERITAGE IN URBANIZED LANDSCAPE: CASE STUDY MANOR PARK CECHY POD KOSIREM
Abstract
Old manor parks are generally considered as important features of historic heritage in European cultural landscapes. But these parks are not only historic monuments. Because of presence of veteran trees and other biological legacy (such as dead wood), historic manor parks can be biodiversity hot-spots in urbanized landscapes. This study present results from long-term comparison of bird diversity in large old manor park in Central Europe (Czech Republic). Based on bird species richness comparison between 1997 and 2023 years, this study revealed that the nesting bird diversity in the study area has not significantly changed over the past quarter-century. This finding should be explained due to the relative long-term stability of the habitats. So, large manor parks, as a part of the historical heritage, are also stable biodiversity refugees in man-made highly modified landscapes. Joining of historic and nature heritage is currently in the scope of emerging concept of Biocultural Diversity and large manor parks are potential sites for future research to better understanding of relationships between human and nature.
