Influence of deforestation on hydrological cycle has been a subject of numerous studies since the beginning of the 20
th
century. A temporary increase of discharges after deforestation was typically reported (e.g. Bosch and Hewlett, 1982), but the measured data often show that“.. flood and erosion control functions of the forests become to be evident but only in a limited way...” (Bíba et al., 2006). A recent review of the articles dealing with the influence of forests on runoff can be found e.g. in Kostka and Holko (2006). Extraordinary wind induced deforestation which took place on 19 November 2004 in the High Tatra Mountains initiated a multidisciplinary international research.
