Biodiversity, landscape, ecosystem services and geo-factors Intensification of farming or, conversely, its absence have led to a direct destruction of many habitats or their degradation. Species diversity is showing a gradual decline in many indicators. Approximately 45% of embryophytes and 26% bryophytes are in some degree of threat. Approximately 30% of the observed animal species is in not in a good condition, it is usually a representative of invertebrates115. A major problem lies in the gradual disruption of ecosystems, which significantly increases the impermeability of the landscape. In 2010, the impenetrable (non-fragmented) landscape area decreased to 63%, while there are up to 6,000 cross barriers registered on watercourses, that may adversely affect the aquatic ecosystems116. The significant negative impact is caused by changes in the landscape structure (disappearance of landscape elements, improper treatment of the landscape water regime, water flow regulation). Due to its varied geological structure and dense population, the Czech Republic belongs to the countries with a high incidence and threats of slope instabilities, while mining wastes are accumulated in many places in the Czech Republic as the effects of historical mining and processing of mineral resources. Half of the Czech Republic is situated in naturally disadvantaged areas, where 86% of the area of grassland is located117. It is necessary to ensure the continuation of farming in these areas, as the natural and semi-natural habitats in agricultural land are threatened by the absence of management and subsequent succession. Further decline in the species richness should be prevented by increasing the
