TLDR
In this article, the authors used material and energy flow accounting approaches to quantify the amount of biomass that is available, but that so far has not been used for energy purposes in Slovakia and the Czech Republic and to calculate how much consumed fossil fuels and corresponding CO2 emissions can be saved by utilising this biomass.About:

Land-use and land-cover changes in rural areas during different political systems: A case study of Slovakia from 1782 to 2006
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the period from 1782 to 2006 divided according to the existing political systems in three rural study sites of Slovakia and found that the landscape of all three sites has undergone significant changes in land-use and cover during the 224 years.
