The influence of roads and touristic paths on the development of the relief of Temperate Zone Mountains

Journal Title: Roczniki Bieszczadzkie - Year 2010, Vol 18, Issue 1

Abstract

Due to the forest management and development of tourism and winter sports, many mountain areas are intensively used. Therefore, they have been experiencing a high degree of anthropogenic degradation. In the paper the environmental conditioning for microrelief of touristic path and roads are discussed. Furthermore, the morphogenetic processes shaping the slopes under the anthropogenic in%uence running along the mentioned features will be taken under consideration. The research problem will be presented on the example of medium and high mountain area in the Polish Carpathian Mts. (the Beskid Niski Mts., the Pieniny, the Western Tatras) as well as on the example of the Monts Dore (Massif Central, France).
