The main objective of the contribution is to present the
preliminary results of comparison of historical evolution of
gully networks in both Slovak and Moravian forelands of the
White Carpathians. This geomorphic unit represents the
flysch mountain range situated in the boundary zone of
Slovakia and the Czech Republic, reaching the elevation 970
m. The Slovak foreland of the White Carpathians, i.e. the
Myjava Hill Land, belongs among those areas in Slovakia
that were the most affected by disastrous gullying in the past.
This fact was one of the main reasons to choose precisely
this area for detailed investigation of historical gullies,
lasting at the moment approximately one decade. The study
of the Moravian foreland of the White Carpathians, i.e. Hluk
Hill Land, started in 2006. Its first goal was to find out if the
density of gully network on the Moravian side is comparable
with that at the Slovak side. Beside the density of gully
networks also the age of gullies and causes of their
formation on both sides of the frontier were subjects of this
comparison. Comparison of gullies on both forelands of the
White Carpathians is introduced in the context of the review
of the research dealing with the historical evolution of
gullies in Slovakia and Czech Republic. [--]
