The Institute of History at the University in Zielona Góra systematically focuses on research on settlement changes and population development in the Western border region of contemporary Poland, which in the past was settled first by Slavic and later by German populations. This article provides information on the most important studies that represent sources of information on the history of settlement, ethnic structure, and demographic development in this region, dating back to the end of the 18th century, but emphasising more recent work, which mainly targets the Polish parts of Lusatia and Lubusz.

The region of Bezděz / Doksy (North Bohemia, Czech Republic) differs from surrounding cultural landscape by its peculiar biodiversity (including e.g. endemism) which indicates an anomalous natural and cultural history on Holocene level. The paper assesses this area as a relict island of hemiboreal lowland tajga. The sandstone pseudokarst, fens, wildfire cyclic succession in coniferous forests, and soil conditions unsuitable for agriculture are the main influences stabilizing this landscape both against long–term natural changes and human impact. Therefore, standard colonisation strategies (towns and agricultural villages) mostly failed here whereas alternative and „mild“ strategies such as hunting, forestry and fish farming were more successfull.
