Abstract

Magyarországon a szárazodás hatásai az Alföldön, és azon belül is leginkább a Duna-Tisza közi Homokhátságon érzékelhetők. Tanulmányunkban ­− az elmúlt másfél évtizedben szerzett kutatási tapasztalatainkra építve − szeretnénk betekintést adni e rurális térség komplex problémakörébe. A szárazodás és a vízhiány hosszú évtizedek óta a legismertebb jelenségek a térségben. Ugyanakkor érdemes szemügyre venni más kedvezőtlen folyamatokat is, pl. a tájdegradációs, területhasználati és vegetációs változásokat, amelyek egyre nagyobb kihívást jelentenek a térségben élők számára. Ebben a vonatkozásban vesszük górcső alá a mezőgazdaság, erdőgazdálkodás és természetvédelem egyes releváns kérdéseit, amelyek akár európai összehasonlításban is fontosak lehetnek. Olyan speciális tényezőket mutatunk be, amelyek az érintett térségben jól demonstrálják a környezeti- és klimatikus változások, valamint az átgondolatlan tájhasználat és környezetgazdálkodás következményeit. Mindezek mellett, reményeink szerint az elvégzett vizsgálatok, jól hasznosítható támpontokat nyújthatnak a fenntartható vidékfejlesztés számára is.
