The military district Boletice is situated in southern Bohemia and it has an area of about 220 km2. There are varied natural conditions – dissected relief, complex geological structure and climatic peculiarities conditioned by its position in precipitation area. Diverse biota formed by the foothill type or moutain type of forest stands and azonal vegetation on humolites corresponds with abiotic factors. A significant phenomena of the forests is the abundant occurrence of fir, which is the dominant species in certain places. In the deforested areas are different types of meadows and peat bogs. Settlements were founded from the half of the 13th century; the highest positions were colonized at the turn of the 18th and 19th century. The dominant German population was evacuated after the World War II (1946) and the army started to manage the area. An extensive shooting-range was established; its regime limited the intensity of agriculture and forest management. The heart of the area was not disturbed by the large-scale amelioration and because of the absence of resources of communal and agricultural pollution; the area is only slightly affected by eutrophization. The present landscape structure and the state of biotopes are very favourable for the occurrence of endangered communities and organisms, especially of types bound to oligotrophic sites and its succession stages. The military district was proposed to be entered into the European territorial system NATURA 2000. A serious threat of the present state is the plan to give the area to public management, because it plans the construction of a huge sport centre.
