Land use change between 1782-1860

In 1782 38% of Pila consists of forest, which extends mainly in the north and the south of Pila. Around the village of Pila agriculture is usually run, therefore in 1782 you almost can’t find any forest there. The amount of agriculture at this time Pila is aroun 60% of land use, the remaining 2% are the living space of the population.
By 1860, the land use in Pila developed dramatically. The forest area increased by 17% to 55% (3204.9 ha), the agricultural area however decreased by the same amount. Especially in the south and in the area around the village of Pila there was a considerable increase in forest area. By contrast, in the southernmost part of Pila and a large area in the north a shrinking of forest area occurred. One possible reason for this could be the growing population in the north of Pila.
