Recent and subfossil chironomids as a tool for tracing of environmental changes in mountain lakes of glacial origin
Tátosová, Jolana ; Stuchlík, Evžen (advisor) ; Šporka, Ferdinand (referee) ; Brabec, Karel (referee)
JOLANA TÁTOSOVÁ, Charles University in Prague Ph.D. Thesis, 2008 ____________________________________________________________________________________ Summary Chironomid seasonality in a high mountain lake ecosystem - case study This paper summarizes result of the first complete round-year study of chironomids in the profundal zone of an oligotrophic high mountain Tatra lake - Ľadové lake - chosen as the key site in the EMERGE project. High mountain or arctic lakes are typical by the specific chironomid species composition, low species diversity at all and low abundances as well (Bretschko, 1974, Rieradevall & Prat, 1999, Aagaard, 1986, Brundin, 1956, Steinböck, 1955) Four chironomid taxa identified in the profundal of Ľadové lake (after average abundances) - Micropsectra radialis (Goetghebuer, 1939), Pseudodiamesa nivosa (Goetghebuer, 1928), Procladius (Holotanypus) sp. and Heterotrisscladius marcidus (Walker, 1856) - and the average chironomid density of 1 700 ind m-2 have confirmed this fact. The two most abundant taxa P. nivosa and M. radialis have demonstrated a univoltine life history with emergences in July and in August, respectively. According to published data, the univolitne life cycle of chironomids is expectable in high mountain or subarctic lakes (Moore, 1979, Wiederholm, 1977, Pechlaner et...

Diurnal vertical migrations of zooplankton in a stratified mountain reservoir
Adámek, Radek ; Hořická, Zuzana (advisor) ; Stuchlík, Evžen (referee)
The thesis - a literature review - was aimed at the phenomenon of diurnal vertical migration (DVM) of zooplankton, in relation to particular conditions in the Josefův Důl reservoir in the Jizera Mountains (northern Bohemia, Czech Republic). The area of the Jizera Mts has a very sensitive geology, and thus suffered a strong anthropogenic acidification in the second half of the 20th century. The consequence was a long-term degradation of chemistry and biology of soils and surface waters. The waters in the upper plateau of the mountains were fishless, with a low diversity and biomass of both the phytoplankton and zooplankton. Recovery from acidification is slowest in the deepest reservoir, Josefův Důl. Due to its morphology, thermal stratification, newly re-stocked brook charr population, and invertebrate predators' occurrence, the zooplankton distribution in the vertical profile is expected to be irregular, with DVM. The following diploma project, oriented to seasonal changes and vertical distribution of the zooplankton in the Josefův Důl reservoir, should contribute to long-term data on biological recovery of the reservoirs from acidification, and explain the role of biotic parameters in zooplankton succession.

Fotogrammetric analyses of aerial pictures of mountain landscape and generation of DEM
Hynštová, Marie ; Stuchlík, Evžen (advisor) ; Matějíček, Luboš (referee)
This thesis describes the stereo photogrammetric method used for digitalization of terrain elevation data of choosen area and the applications of digital elevation model (DEM). The main part of the thesis consists of DEM generation methodology, including stereo photogrammetric evaluation of aerial pictures, quality control of evaluating process, DEM creation and revision. DEM was created in software Edras Imagine 8.6. The thesis results in detailed description of DEM creation in the high mountain terrain selected in the High Tatra Mountains. Grid DEM of cell size 1x1 meter is attached. Key words: mountain lakes and catchments, photogrammetry, aerial pictures, DEM
