Reconstruction Models of the Landscapes in Aydemirska Wetland System

Abstract

The wetland system is one of the most sensitive nature systems. The importance of wetland systems is determined by the fact that they provide a numbers of goods and ecosystems services. The present research observes the problems with the spatial transformations of the landscapes in Aydemirska wetland system, in northeastern Bulgaria, which is part of the Danubian catchment. Generation of different space–time models based on old maps and aerial photos gives an opportunity for the investigation of the state and parameters of the wetland system. The reconstruction models of the landscapes are made based on these results. Investigation of the space transformation in environment historical period is a promising platform for planning of the economic activities in the region. Nature conservation will also be part of this conception, if the object has potential and nature importance.
