This publication assesses the development of changes in landscape structure in selected areas and the biodiversity of trees in non-forest woody vegetation elements (NFWV), with emphasis on the occurrence of trees signifi cant in terms of gene pool. The development was assessed using historical map data, aerial photography and fi eld research in time horizons 1869 (or 1892), 1949, 2010 (or 2012). For the purposes of the research, following cadastral territories were selected: Nitrianske Hrnčiarovce, Štitáre, Žirany, Kolíňany, Pohranice, Bádice, Dolné a Horné Lefantovce, Oponice. The development of changes was processed according to the classifi cation scheme of 9 landscapeelement groups. The biodiversity of woody plants in NFWV elements was evaluated according to their origin, growth formations and phytosociological criteria. For trees signifi cant in terms of gene pool, the criteria of age, species rarity and dendrometric values were used. The identifi ed changes in the landscape structure are a refl ection of social and economic development of the area and the land ownership.
