The severe rainfalls in Northern and Central Moravia and Eastern Bohemia in July 1997, triggered slope movements recorded particularly in the flysch-type rocks of Northern and Eastern Czech Republic. The basis of the diversified woodland and agricultural landscape of the Western Carpathians is the highland and mountain erosionůdenudation and structure-denudation relief, which consists of flysch rock complexes. The geomorphological and geological setting is predisposed to extensive slope deformationsůůespecially landslides. Slope movements play an important role in topography modelling and cause great direct and indirect damages in the countryside as well. Slope deformations of different intensity and aerial extent control the character of relief on the local or regional scale. Significant changes of land use may result from the slope movements, especially when the reclamation of the slope deformations are not undertaken. Landslides themselves have a great impact on the water regime of the landscape and consequently on the development of ecosystems. That is why they are often considered to be a significant biodiversity factor. It is also necessary to pay attention to the opposite effect since the land use (dispersed woody patches, landscape mosaic) is to a certain extent influencing the development and progress of the slope deformations.
