Natural flooding in Lužnice floodplain - a holistics approach
Pithart, David ; Montagová, Martina ; Hartvich, P. ; Černý, R. ; Prach, K.
Natural flooding was analysed in the Lužnice River floodplain in a holistic approach. Benefits of natural floooding can be summarised as folows: 1.Water retention is increased due to the soil absorption, evaporation, evapotranspiration, filling of oxbows, pools and natural depressions and finally the space between the river terraces. Real flood event are analysed here in terms of water distribution among these processes. 2. Natural flooding reduces the loss of ionts from the watershed by slowing the river outflow and loss of carbon loss by slowing the decomposition processes. 3. Flooding creates and maintains floodplain geodiversity by re-forming of floodplain geomorphology and keps its biodiversity by inoculation of biota into the floodplain subsystems and differentation of its impact on these subsystems. For these reasons, maintaining and enhancing of natural flooding seems to be a prerequisite of sustainable management of riverine landscape.

Excavation and treatment of sediments
Pokorný, J.
Methods aimed at reduction of internal nutrient loading in eutrophic water bodies are explained. Development of blue greens results both from external and internal loading. Eutrophic sediment in which anaerobic processes také place releases phospohorus which results in uncontrolled development of water blooms. Examples of hypertrophic lakes in which restoration was realised with success are given. Principles of sediment treatment aimed at immobilisation of phosphorus are explained. Aeration, P precipitation, nitrate application are described. Techniques for removal of eutrophic sediment both by classical and suction dreges are described. Relevant scientific literature is given.

Productivity of differently managed mountain meadows
Mašková, Z. ; Květ, Jan ; Zelený, D.
A mountain meadow (about 1160 asl) situated in the Šumava NP/BR was subjected to 3 treatments applied in mid-July in 4 succesive years: (i)mowing, (ii)mulching, (iii)no management. Seasonal courses of aboveground biomass varied between 0,35-0,5 kg.m-2 in all treatments and years while belowground biomass did between 6-9 kg.m-2. R/S ratio varied between 6-18, being mostly highest in the mown treatment. Litter dry weight varied mostly between 0,2-0,8 kg.m-2, being usually hightest in the unmanaged treatment. Seasonal courses of the above 3 production characteristics were highly variable. Estimated average annual aboveground net production was 0,6-0,7 kg.m-2 for all treatments and years.

Mycorhiza and its significance for forest trees
Chmelíková, Ewa ; Cudlín, Pavel
The article introduces the problematic of the mycorrhizal symbioses and presents the most wide spread and significant mycorrhiza types for forest trees. It discusses the practical use of mycorrhizal symbioses in forestry and the possibillity to influence the mycorrhizal status during tree sampling production, including various inoculation methods.
