Jiří Sádlo, A countryside where nothing happens / lecture

The region of Doksy  (the countryside between Doksy, Česká Lípa, Mimoň, Osečná, Kuřivody, Bakov a Bělá pod Bezdězem) is a relict region  of the lowland taiga. Nine years of its stability shows that this country is driven from the perspectivity of the past. Pine  ecosystems haven't changed here for  9000 years, just from the moment of its origination. They didn't react to the Holocene changes of the climate, they haven't  been changed by intensification of the forestry or clearcut management. They created their sterile arenic podsoles, eliminated attempts of farming and building big cities. Here, taiga is eternal and immune, thanks to its ability to  heal from cultural interventions.
