摘要

Folk songs have long played a vital role in people’s lives. They reflect the daily activities and desires of local communities and also preserve traditional knowledge about landscapes, plants, animals, and land management. I reviewed 4,137 Slovak folk songs and analyzed the sections containing information about landscape features. This data was used to create a dataset listing all the landscape features mentioned and their associated plants. Landscape elements were featured in 1,542 songs, encompassing 73 landscape features and 59 plant taxa. The most commonly mentioned plants were Trifolium sp., Prunus persica L., Fagus sylvatica L., Quercus sp., and Acer sp. Slovakia’s forested and mountainous landscape is well represented in folk songs, with forest and mountain features accounting for 42.54% of references. Among agricultural environments, grasslands were the most frequently mentioned (14.65%), followed by fields (10.31%). Rivers were the water features most frequently referenced, accounting for 7.1% of mentions. The Danube River was particularly prominent, accounting for 5.47% of all mentions and being the most frequently cited landscape feature specifically named.
