Central-European mountain spruce forests: regeneration of tree species after a bark beetle outbreak
Jonášová, Magda
Two different approaches were applied to mountain spruce (Picea abies) forests attacked by bark beetle in the Šumava National Park (Czech Republic): (1) a small portion of the stands was left without intervention, relying upon natural regeneration, and (2) traditional technical measures were adopted, in which attacked trees were felled and removed. The results confirmed that the original tree species of the mountain spruce forests regenerate well under dead canopy and the bark beetle outbreak could even be considered as a tool for the restoration of their natural character.

Perception of the nuclear power plant of Temelín by local population in two time horizons (1993/2003)
Těšitel, Jan ; Kušová, Drahomíra ; Bartoš, Michael
Nuclear power plant of Temelín is a phenomenon influencing almost all aspects of life of local population. The article is based on comparison of selected results gained within two sociological surveys, one conducted in the year of 1993 and the other in 2003. Relation of local population to the nuclear power plant was one of key issues addressed in both surveys. Perception of the nuclear power plant proved to have changed over time. The shift can be named äfrom danger to anxiety'. The main factor keeping population anxious about nuclear power plant seem to be a fact that the plant is visible from everywhere, representing thus ävisual contamination of environment' of some kind.

Integrated tourism in the Bohemian Forest and its investigation in the European context
Bartoš, Michael ; Kušová, Drahomíra ; Těšitel, Jan
International project titled 'Supporting and promoting integrated tourism in EuropeŽs lagging regions (SPRITE)ö is aimed at comparing conditions to conduct such a type of tourism within six selected European countries ů Czech Republic, Greece, France, Ireland, Spain and United Kingdom. Šumava Mts. region was selected as one of model areas. By this project, tourism is analysed as a multifaceted phenomenon which can be described as interplay among six principal actors involved ů tourists themselves, host community, businesses, resource controllers, institutions and gatekeepers. Presentation of selected results and their comparison in the international scale is a main subject of discussion in this article.

Biodiversity of staphylinid beetles (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) in the Bohemian Forest - recent state, endangered species and their biotopes
Boháč, Jaroslav ; Matějíček, J.
More than 300 species of staphylinid beetles were found on 68 lokalities in the Bohemian Forest. 75 (23%) species of the all fauna belong to the Red list of the CR (5 critically endangered species, 27 endangered species and 43 vulnerable species). The most important biotopes for staphylinids in the Bohemian Forest are: petasites fringes of montane brooks, reedes and tall-sedge beds, foret springs, fens and transitional, mires, raised bogs, screes subalpine tall-forb vegetation, meadows and pastures, forest fringe vegetation, montane grey alder galleries, ravine dry pine, beech and spruce forests.
