Reflecting the transformation of original habitats, we distinguished five degrees of natural vegetation: three-sub-natural, quasi-natural and semi-natural-include habitats dependent on human management, areas of historical green infrastructure, and high environmental value farmland with the presence of natural/semi-natural habitats. We include natural or semi-natural landscape features, specifically arboreta, historical parks, and cultural monuments with historical green infrastructure among hotspots of biocultural value. Such areas have been preserved in 10.89% of urban or rural settlements in Slovakia. 收起
