The degree of human geomorphological impact was estimated as a ratio of natural geomorphological processes and geomorphological processes triggered or facilitated by humankind. A typical Central European cultural landscape of diverse land use and relief was considered as a pilot area. Based on topography maps and landforms the natural material fluxes were calculated. By overlapping historical maps, modern maps and remotely sensed data, the duration and extent of different land use types were mapped, and were assigned to each landscape unit. Anthropogenic material fluxes were calculated for the land use types identified. Dividing the summarized anthropogenic material fluxes by natural ones, the anthropic geomorphological transformation ratio (rAG) was estimated. The value of rAG is independent of the efficiency and intensity of processes; it merely expresses the relation of effectiveness between human induced and natural processes. Since the calculated index is based on estimated values and there is, at least theoretically, no upper limit, the term ‘hemeromorphy’ was introduced and the values were classified in corresponding ‘hemeromorphy’ categories. For the smallest landscape units with the same degree of ‘hemeromorphy’ the term ‘hemeromorphotop’ was applied. This interpretation makes the comparison of landscape units possible according to their anthropogeomorphological transformation, independently of the intensity and quality of their geomorphological processes.

一种量化人为表面转变程度的新方法——“异形”的概念

人类地貌影响程度估计为自然地貌过程与人类触发或促进的地貌过程之比。一个典型的中欧文化景观多样化的土地利用和救济被认为是一个试点地区。根据地形图和地貌，计算了天然物质通量。通过重叠历史地图、现代地图和遥感数据，绘制了不同土地利用类型的持续时间和范围，并分配到每个景观单元。计算了确定的土地利用类型的人为物质通量。将汇总的人为物质通量除以自然物质通量，估计人为地貌转化率（rAG）。rAG 的值与流程的效率和强度无关；它仅仅表达了人为过程与自然过程之间的有效性关系。由于计算的指数是基于估计值的，并且至少在理论上没有上限，因此引入了术语“异形”并将这些值归入相应的“异形”类别。对于具有相同“异形”程度的最小景观单元，应用术语“异形”。这种解释使景观单元的比较成为可能，根据它们的人类地貌变换，独立于它们的地貌过程的强度和质量。引入了术语“异形”，并将值归入相应的“异形”类别。对于具有相同“异形”程度的最小景观单元，应用术语“异形”。这种解释使景观单元的比较成为可能，根据它们的人类地貌变换，独立于它们的地貌过程的强度和质量。引入了术语“异形”，并将值归入相应的“异形”类别。对于具有相同“异形”程度的最小景观单元，应用术语“异形”。这种解释使景观单元的比较成为可能，根据它们的人类地貌变换，独立于它们的地貌过程的强度和质量。
