摘要几个世纪以来，欧洲的森林一直有着丰富的文献记载。然而，与森林有关的档案来源很少得到充分利用，主要是因为难以从大量非常不同的来源产生兼容的数据。此外，在历史地理信息系统出现之前，几乎不可能以高分辨率分析大面积的此类数据。本文介绍了LONGWOOD项目的地理数据库，其中包括捷克共和国东部3,567个乡镇从11世纪到20世纪世纪的数万条森林历史信息。27 000平方公里）。本文介绍了我们遇到的挑战，简要总结了结果，在全球范围内评估数据库，并介绍了未来研究的可能方向。
ABSTRACT European forests have been copiously documented for centuries. However, forest-related archival sources were rarely utilised to their full potential, mainly because of the difficulties in producing compatible data from large amounts of very different sources. Furthermore, analysing such data for larger areas in high resolution was hardly possible prior to the emergence of historical GIS. This paper presents the geodatabase of the LONGWOOD project, which includes tens of thousands of pieces of information on forest history from the 11th to the 20th century for 3,567 townships in the eastern Czech Republic (c. 27,000 km2). The paper describes the challenges we met, briefly summarizes the results, evaluates the database in a worldwide context and introduces possible directions for future research.
