Characterization of fungal community in spruce (Picea abies) litter using cultivation and T-RFLP
Kolářová, Zuzana ; Koukol, Ondřej (advisor) ; Brabcová, Vendula (referee)
Fungi have a key role in the decomposition of coniferous litter and affect nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. Therefore, great emphasis is placed on exploring the diversity of these organisms. The aim of this thesis was to describe fungal diversity in spruce litter and revealed temporal development of this community in a forest regenerating after bark beetle outbreak. Another objective was to compare sites with different length of bark beetle damage. The study area was located in the Bohemian Forest mountain range. Litter bags with spruce needles were placed on the forest soil and several samplings were performed in the course of three years. Diversity of fungi and changes in the fungal community were assessed by two methods: cultivation of needles on 2ř MEA and fingerprinting method T-RFLP. In total 71 fungal species were obtained from needles during a three-year succession by cultivation approach. Using T-RFLP 122 different fragments were generally recorded. The dominant species were Scleroconidioma sphagnicola, Thysanophora penicillioides, Hormonema dematiodes, Ceuthospora pinastri, species of genus Chalara, Trichoderma polysporum, Mycena galopus and unknown species Helotiales sp. 1. Primary saprotrophs occured in the community mainly in first 8 months and then were replaced by basidiomycetes....

Analysis of the coffee market in the Czech Republic and Slovakia based on retail audit data
Kolářová, Zuzana ; Vávra, Oldřich (advisor) ; Čepek, Michal (referee)
The aim of the diploma thesis is a comprehensive analysis of the coffee market in the Czech Republic and Slovakia based on retail audit data. The analysis provides an overview of the development of this dynamic category. It also compares the similarities and differences in both countries. I proceed from the historical development of the market to the current situation in terms of its size, market trends and structure. I also focus on the promotion importance of the coffee category and the seasonality of its sales. I compare the Czech and Slovak markets in terms of the share of top manufacturers and brands, the popularity of private brands in the coffee category and the importance of the sales channels. I also focus on the regional structure of coffee sales, segments and price trends over time. The conclusion of the thesis is a comprehensive view on the structure and development of coffee markets in both countries and the expression of their common features and differences.
