The importance of field wetlands in agricultural landscapes
Šumberová, Kateřina ; Vymyslický, T. ; Fabšičová, Martina ; Fránková, Markéta
Field wetlands represent an extremely valuable biotope in agricultural landscapes, not only in terms of water management, but also in terms of biodiversity of various groups of organisms. Species living in these habitats survive adverse periods in the form of seeds, spores and eggs in the soil, many of them belonging to endangered groups of organisms. Our research has yielded in new findings of rare vascular plant species, as well as interesting findings of diverse species of micro- and macroscopic algae. Among the most important findings are some thermophilic and slightly halophilic vascular and algae species, whose occurrence in our country is mainly linked to southern Moravia. Seventeen plant species from the current Red List were found, three species in the critically endangered category (C1: Hibiscus trionum, Pulicaria dysenterica, P vulgaris), six species in the severely endangered category (C2: Lythrum hyssopifolia, Malva pusilla, Rumex tenophyllus, Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani, Veronica anagalloides), five species in the endangered category (C3: Centaurium pulchellum, Cyperus fuscus, Lemna trisulca, Lotus tenuis, Veronica catenata) and five rarer species requiring attention (C4: Bolboschoenus laticarpus, B planiculmis, Butomus umbellatus, Limosella aquatica, Schoenoplectus lacustris). The vegetation at the study sites could be classified into five syntaxonomic classes: Lemnetea, Potametea, Isoëto-Nanojuncetea, Bidentetea tripartitae and Phragmito-Magnocaricetea. Vascular plants were represented by several ecological groups: annual wetland plants, perennial species of reed beds and wet disturbed grasslands, hydrophilous weeds and ruderal species, and aquatic plants. Macroscopic algae were represented primarily by filamentous green algae of the genera Cladophora, Spirogyra and Oedogonium, and to a lesser extent by the genus Vaucheria spp., and by cyanobacteria (Nostoc spp.). The representatives of the genus Chara inhabited wetlands with longer periods of inundation. Diatoms (Achnanthidium, Amphora, Gomphonema, Navicula, Nitzschia, Pinnularia, Surirella and Tryblionella) were the most quantitatively represented and species-rich group of microalgae in the studied wetlands, followed by the genera Colacium, Euglena and Trachelomonas, by green algae (Desmodesmus), and by cyanobacteria (Homoeothrix and Phormidium).There was a high variability in the number of vascular plants and overall species composition, as well as in the representation of different algal groups and their species richness. Large changes were evident between and within years.
In vivo study of diatom assemblages using low temperature method for ESEM
Tihlaříková, Eva ; Neděla, Vilém ; Fránková, Markéta
Diatoms are the most species-rich algal group represented by 12 000 described species and are recognized as powerful bio indicators and used for water quality monitoring. Diatom taxonomy is predominantly based on the morphology of ornate silicified cell wall called frustule composed of two overlapping parts (thecae). This frustule displays intricate patterns and designs unique to each species. For these studies conventional scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was and still is widely used. This method requires cleaning of diatom frustules in strong acids and peroxides followed by conductive coating.This aggressive procedure removes protoplast and damages delicate structures. Environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) brings advantages of observation of fresh diatom material that are presence of whole intact diatom cells, not only empty diatom frustules, extracellular mucilaginous diatom secrets (e.g. pads, stalks, tubes) and whole diatom assemblages directly in situ together with other algal assemblages (e.g. cyanobacteria or green algae). However, in diatom research, ESEM is used mainly for elimination of conductive coating and observation of these organisms in their native wet state adhered directly on the host plant is not yet common. The ESEM observation of native aquatic samples is usually affected with radiation damage that can be lovered by the use of special methods like the Low Temperature Method (LTM) for the ESEM.
Three years long investigation of fishpond Dehtář - first fishpond in the NETLAKE COST action project
Potužák, Jan ; Šumberová, Kateřina ; Fránková, Markéta ; Fabšičová, Martina ; Ducháček, M. ; Císař, K. ; Duras, J.
In 2014–2016 we monitored basic environmental parameters in the fishpond Dehtář near České Budějovice (Czech Republic) using system of sensors. Among other parametres we studied for instance water chemistry and phyto- and zooplankton community biomass, and species composition. Thank to the method used we recorded strong fluctuations in some of the environmental parameters, parrticularly in oxygen concentrations. Thank to the integration of the auomatic high frequency monitoring using the sensor system along with traditional research methods we were able to interpret the marked ecosystem changes. Several factors participated in the several days long oxygen depletion: warm and calm weather, later interchanged by cold front accompanied with mixing of water column and cloudy sky, fish farming management (high amount of nutrients related to manuring) and changes in biomass of phytoplancton (fast decomposition of high biomass amount of cyanobacteria). Our results enable to prevent similar situations in future, by e.g. lowering of nutrient input.
The Proposal to Extend the Kindergarten
Franková, Markéta ; Zajícová, Ivana (referee) ; Mikulec, Luděk (advisor)
This thesis analyzes the current state of the selected Kindergarten. Based on the analysis made a proposal to extend kindergarten, due to lack of capacity building. The thesis is designed to address deficiencies occurring in kindergarten. It created a proposal to extend the new kindergarten class together with the calculation of the costs incurred and revenues.
