Abstract
Today's woodlands of Central Europe are the results of utilization and forestal change, lasting for centuries, here and there even for millenia. The Central European climate is conducive to tree growth and there would be a more or less monotonous woodland throughout Central Europe if man had not created today's cultivated landscapes with meadows, pastures and fields, consistently pushing back the forests during the last few centuries. This paper will focus on whether or not there would have been forest-free habitats of any significant size in the areas covered by deciduous and coniferous forests, created and cleared by herds of animals as open landscapes, in addition to the natural and forest-free living spaces (for instance, mires, coastal areas, alpine regions).
