Změny v množství vázaného uhlíku v nadzemní biomase v lesní rezervaci Greenfields, Nikaragua
Dvořák, Vít
The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in the amount of carbon sequestered in the private reserve Greenfields, located in a tropical rainforest in Nicaragua. Two forest inventories were carried out (in 2015 and 2022), and from the obtained data, the biomass and the amount of sequestered carbon in the forested area of the Greenfields reserve were calculated. The data was then compared with the results of other similarly focused studies in the area, contextualized within biological succession, and finally, a financing system for the reserve was proposed through carbon trading payments.

The foreign policy of the United States of America towards Nicaragua after the Cuban Revolution
Černá, Kateřina ; Perutka, Lukáš (advisor) ; Raška, Francis (referee)
This thesis examines the foreign policy of the United States towards Nicaragua between 1961-1973. When the John F. Kennedy administration took office in 1961, there was concern about developments in Cuba and, in particular, the possibility of a similar fate in Latin American countries. This concern gave rise to the largest foreign aid program up to that time, the Alliance for Progress. Although it was a comprehensive aid scheme taking into account both economic and social issues, the results of the Alliance were contradictory. Nicaragua was a case in point. This paper uses the case study method to explain the results of the Alliance for Progress using Nicaragua as an example. By synthesizing literary sources and secondary literature, the various objectives of the Alliance for Progress are evaluated. The first part of the thesis examines the political situation of the United States both domestically and globally. The second part of the thesis describes the nature of the Alliance for Progress, the fulfilment of its goals, and the implications for the people of the Republic of Nicaragua.

The Influence of the Cuban Revolution on the US Approach to the Sandinista Revolution in Nicaragua
Kaluha, Adam ; Soukup, Jaromír (advisor) ; Krausz Hladká, Malvína (referee)
This thesis examines US foreign policy towards Latin American countries during the Cold War. The purpose of this thesis is to determine if the Cuban Revolution influenced the United States' foreign policy stance towards the revolution in Nicaragua. In order to do this, the thesis uses mostly analysis of U.S. State Department documents published in the Foreign Relations of the United States book series combined with scholarly literature and articles. The thesis is divided into three main parts. In the first part, I examine U.S. foreign policy toward Latin American countries after World War II until the revolution in Cuba. The second part examines the US attitude towards the Cuban Revolution and the third part examines the US attitude towards the Sandinista Revolution. I then bring all the information together in the conclusion of the thesis and find that the Cuban Revolution had a significant impact on U.S. foreign policy in relation to the revolution in Nicaragua, as the fear of a repeat of the Cuban scenario forced the U.S. to become more actively involved in Nicaragua than during the Cuban Revolution.

Dendrologická skladba lesů oblasti Diriamba, Nikaragua
Naďová, Zdena
In this bachelor thesis I was dealing with a brief atlas of woody plants at the farm of La Reserva. The aim was to compile and process a transparent atlas of the trees on the farm, which includes their description, distribution and use. Thirty species have been identified and a detailed photo-documentation of bark, leaves, overall appearance and the abundance has been processed for each wood. I processed the woody plants into a general table, which gives the name of woody plants, use and abundance. According to a qualified estimation, I have divided the number of trees into three categories - rare, common and abundant. Based on this knowledge, the importance of species, their potential use and proposed farm management were assessed.
