Description Knowledge of historic changes in vegetation, relief, and soil is key in understanding how the uplands in central Europe have changed during the last millennium, being an essential requirement for measures on forest conversion and nature conservation in that area. Evidence of forest clearing horizons from the medieval period could be systematically documented at four low to mid altitudinal sites in the Harz, Erzgebirge, and Českomoravská vrchovina.
