High-mountain areas above the present-day timberline (which fluctuates from 1 185 to 1 438 m a. s. l. in Slovakia) are very sensitive to natural hazards (water erosion, snow avalanches, debris flows etc.) as well as to all of man-made influences. An average potential soil loss amounts to 8.25 mm in the subalpine belt and even 9.37 mm per annum in the alpine one. However, a rate of real soil losses is 0.27 mm per annum in the average. In the high mountains there are present 1 754 snow avalanche tracks and about 900 tracks of debris flows in Slovakia. The rate of morphogenetic (relief-forming) processes above the timberline is of middle to high size. Therefore a carrying capacity of different types of the landscape must be considered in relation to types of relief and to dynamics of different processes occurring in diverse clima-morphogenetic seasons.
