Effect of climate change on plant-soil interactions
Billichová, Tereza ; Münzbergová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Kolaříková, Zuzana (referee)
Climate change is an important driving force capable of affecting individual organisms as well as entire ecosystems and mechanisms inside them. One of these mechanisms is plant-soil feedback (PSF), which on its own plays an important role in the functioning of organisms and may contribute to nutrient cycling (including decomposition), activity of soil organism or plant competition and viability due to the relationship with their pathogens and mutualists. How climate change affects these relationships may play a significant role in the future survival of these species and the dynamics of ecosystems. The aim of this work was to provide literature review on the impact of climate change (mainly on the impact of temperature changes and water availability) on the plant-soil feedback. As an introduction, the thesis describes this feedback and further discusses the impact of climate change on plants, soil biota and soil properties. Then this thesis puts these knowledges into the context of the PSF and supplement them with other findings directly from this area of research. In the end, this thesis briefly summarizes a research methodology of this matter and outlines the possible continuation for a diploma thesis. Key words: climatic change, plant-soil feedback, soil properties, pathogens, mutualists
