Common juniper (Juniperus communis), as a species of predominantly open habitats, used to be part of semi-natural grassland communities, such a pastures. In the area of Moravian Wallachia (eastern part of the Czech Republic) this type of grassland is known as juniper pasture, however as in the whole of Europe, it is a type of habitat that is disappearing rapidly from the landscape, among other reasons due to the absence of juveniles in the population. A total of 20 potentially preserved juniper pastures were identified within nine cadastral areas in the Moravian Wallachia (Beskydy Protected Landscape Area) and visited during the vegetation period. The total number of J. communis individuals was recorded, including their dendrometric (crown height and radius) and descriptive characteristics (sex, vitality, developmental stage, sociability, form). Characteristics of vegetation cover and type of site management were also recorded to define the main factors influencing the vitality and proportion of juvenile individuals in the population of J. communis. Field research was supplemented by analyses of orthophotos and topographical data processed in a GIS environment. In total 2,896 juniper were recorded at 20 locations, while the population of J. communis in the area of interest can be characterized by...

Matysková, Michaela
The objective of this thesis is to evaluate the current situation in sheep husbandry in the region of Moravian Wallachia in eastern Moravia. The literature review describes the characteristics of sheep husbandry in the Czech republic, the definition of the region of Moravian Wallachia, the most common sheep breeds, the most significant sheep diseases and the most significant predators of the sheep in the region. A significant part of this work is dedicated to predators of sheep, especially to wolves. In the practical part, a questionnaire intended for sheep breeders in the Moravian Wallachian region was made. Sheep breeders answered the questions regarding many aspects of the husbandry. In the end, measures to better the situation in sheep husbandry were introduced.
