Updating the Supra-regional Territorial System of Ecological Stability of the Landscape
In the Czech Republic, a multi-level ecological network, called the Territorial System of Ecological Stability of the Landscape, has been developing since the late 1970s and the 1980s.
The Supra-regional (=National) TSES consists of the components (core areas, biological corridors) of at least national importance. The Agency for Nature Conservation and Landscape Protection of the Czech Republic (ANCLP CR) has been in charge with updating the Supra-regional TSES by the Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic. During the first phase, Supra-regional TSES core areas and axes of Supra-regional TSES biological corridors are being delineated. Updated methodology is provided by the Manual for designers of the Local Territorial System of Ecological Stability. Methods for elaboration of the documentation. Background documents, according to which the Supra-regional TSES has been delineated, clearly differ in quality. The core areas are delineated by the individual land plots, in some justifiable cases, by landscape structures, e.g. by a forest edge. For each TSES component, digital and map data as well as tables and detailed descriptions are provided. Staff members from the ANCLPs regional branches and Headquarters and National Park Administration reviewed the proposal. The updated GIS layer of the Supra-regional TSES will become, together with Regional (=Sub-national) and Local TSES layers, a part of the Nature Conservancy Information System run by the ANCLP CR. In 2011, the activities shall be followed by delineation of the Supra-regional TSES biological corridors into the individual components. It is supposed that the activity will be finished by June 30, 2013.
