Geographical characteristics of extreme growth depressions of Scots pine in Central Europe
Mík, Milan ; Treml, Václav (advisor) ; Rybníček, Michal (referee)
The presented diploma thesis studies extreme growth depressions of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in Central Europe. Examination of significant growth anomalies (pointer year analysis) is one of the methods, which investigates the reactions of forest stands to the ongoing climate change. Dendrochronological data was obtained from Czechia (23 sites) and Slovakia (4 sites). The main hypotheses of the thesis states that the extreme growth depressions relate to climatic anomalies, hence they can be explained geographically. The objectives were to 1) create a Cropper values chronology for each site which describes growth extreme depressions; 2) explain climatic causes of negative Cropper values for each site; 3) define geographical predispositions of a spatial distribution of extreme growth depressions; 4) spatially interpolate extreme growth depressions. The calculation of Cropper values was based on a normalisation in a moving window method with a 13-year window size and the input data detrended by a 50-year cubic smoothing spline. Created chronologies were correlated with monthly climate data (temperatures, precipitation, SPEI). Geographical predispositions of the spatial distribution of growth depressions were calculated using a hierarchical cluster analysis. The cluster analysis was also applied...
The influence of consumption changes on ecological footprint
Mík, Milan ; Matějček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Fialová, Magdalena (referee)
The bachelor thesis presented below targets on the issue of the environmental aspect of sustainable development. The key matter of this paper is to find out which spatial consequences the human consumption has or might have. Possible changes of this consumption and its changed spatial effects on the environment were especially examined. Ecological footprint index was used for this purpose. After defining this assessing tool, there were created twelve consumption scenarios in total. The scenarios represent three main categories of consumption which were identified as the most affecting the environment. These are food consumption, consumption related with transport and energy consumption in households. Using a combination of methods, the value and structure of ecological footprint of each scenario were assessed. All the calculations, as well as the spatial outcomes, took place in a model area of Hradec Králové, one of the regional capitals of Czechia. Key words: ecological footprint, sustainability, consumption, scenario, modelling, Hradec Králové
