Assessment of ecomorphological state and land use of Bylanka and Chotýšský brook flood plains
Slavíková, Pavlína ; Matoušková, Milada (referee) ; Lipský, Zdeněk (advisor)
This diploma thesis is dealing with geoecological assessment of water courses in the Bylanka catchment. The model area is situated in the Central Bohemia in the district Kolín. The catchment has a character of flat hilly country with the highest altitudes over 400 m. Most of the area is used as fields, forests cover only 9 % of the territory. Bylanka (8,4 km) and its longest affluent Chotýšský brook (10,6 km) were chosen as model water courses. The geoecological assessment is composed of three different methods. Ecomorfological assessment (Matoušková, 2003) was used for water courses evaluation. This method divides the stream and its surroundings into 4 ecomorfological zones: stream channel, vegetation belt, flood plain and water basin. The final ecomorfological state is better in the case of Bylanka because this stream is less anthropogenic transformed due to deeper erosive incision in the Permian-Carboniferous formations where human couldn't change the stream flow. Proliferation of bank and riparian vegetation is the second method of water courses and its surroundings evaluation. White willow (Salix alba), black poplar (Populus nigra), aspen tree (Populus tremula) and common alder (Alnus glutinosa) are the most frequently occurring wood species. Land use changes in the flood plain of Bylanka and...

Ecohydrological survey of river habitat quality - application to study area of the Zbytinsky brook catchment
Bímová, Tereza ; Matoušková, Milada (advisor) ; Tátosová, Jolana (referee)
Eco-hydrology represents a new approach to managing and protection of water bodies. Creates a new option of protection, revitalization and use rivers. Essential components in assessing the quality of streams are biological, hydromorphological and physical-chemical elements. This study is mainly focused on the review of the ecohydrological research in the upper Blanice river basin. Introduction is short overview of the current valid legislation of the European Union and the Czech Republic which creates a basic framework for assessing the ecological quality of streams. The aim is to summarize existing knowledge and assessment of surface water quality in terms of chemistry based on available data. The territories concerned are catchments of Zbytinský stream and Tetřívčí stream.

Ecohydromorphological survey of streams in nature protected areas: application in the Klíčava River catchment
Šilhánová, Věra ; Matoušková, Milada (advisor) ; Hůla, Petr (referee)
The focus of this thesis is on the application of ecohydromorphological survey of a small watercourses flowing through the Landscape Protected Area Křivoklátsko (LPA Křivoklátsko). A brief characterization of the study are, the catchment area of the Klíčava River, was written based on the study of literature as well as on the digital and analogue bases. The specificity of this region lies in the presence of the valley reservoir Klíčava, Lánská deer-park and the LPA Křivoklátsko. Two different methods of a stream habitat survey were applied, the Czech field survey method the EcoRivHab (Matoušková, 2003, 2007) and the River Habitat Survey - RHS (Environmental Agency, 1997, 2003) from the United Kingdom used in the UK and some other European states. This thesis examines the possibility of the application of these methods on a small watercourse running through a hilly country with a significant proportion of natural reaches, which are situated mainly in the Lánská deer-park. These regions were used as models for definitions of reference localities. The most anthropogenically impacted reaches were localized in the upper part of the Klíčava catchment area, which has been in the recent past intensively used for agricultural purposes, nowadays it is only used extensively. This part of the watercourse has been...
