摘要:Current development of the high mountain landscape in the Tatra Mts. is greatly affcted by specifi processes closely related to the changing climatic conditions and regime of meteorological factors. The existing research activities in the Slovak and Polish parts of the Tatra Mts. concentrate on the increasing frequency, abruptness and unpredict-ability of sudden processes with immediate geomorphic effct. Evaluation of the potential occurrence and impacts of these processes on ecosystems is a priority in researching changes in this alpine environment. This paper therefore summarises the causes and effcts of morphodynamic processes on the Tatras’ high mountain landscape, and our research results stress the importance of continual landscape-ecological research in this dynamic environment because of its high sensitivity to climate change.
