Research report on the occurence and composition of autotrophic communities in Lakes Milada and Most.
Znachor, Petr ; Bešta, Tomáš ; Čapková, Kateřina ; Mareš, Jan ; Řeháková, Klára ; Čtvrtlíková, Martina ; Kučerová, Andrea
The limnological measurement and research of periphyton and aquatic macrophytes were conducted in the framework of 'Strategy AV 21, post-mining landscape restoration' in 2020. Despite the good ecological potential in Lakes Milada and Most, there are several indications of possible future deterioration of water quality (e.g., the occurrence of subsurface cyanobacterial maxima in Lake Most, excessive growth of periphyton mats in both lakes, strong bottom anoxia in Lake Milada).

Effect of D8 motorway salting in the winter months: Results of monitoring the species composition and abundance of aquatic organisms in adjacent streams during the 2020 growing season.
Blabolil, Petr ; Kučerová, Andrea ; Matěna, Josef ; Peltanová, Jana ; Bešta, Tomáš ; Rychtecký, Pavel ; Peterka, Jiří
The aim of the report is to document the effect of chloride toxicity on aquatic organisms in the recipients in the vicinity of the D8 motorway, km 48,276 - 64,689, where the motorway passes through the České středohoří Protected Landscape Area. The summary of the achieved results for the vegetation season 2020 is the content of the presented report.

Molecular variability and distribution of the Frustulia rhomboides species complex (Bacillariophyceae)
Urbánková, Pavla ; Kulichová, Jana (advisor) ; Bešta, Tomáš (referee)
Recent use of molecular methods to revisit taxonomically problematic diatom species revealed severe limitations of morphological species concept. Characterization of diatom species which was based solely on the morphology of their frustules often generated too broad species boundaries which inevitably lead to wrong conclusions about their ecology and distribution. Widespread opinion that many diatom species are cosmopolitan generalists resulted in a theory that dispersal of diatoms is not limited by geographical distance. However, a number of recent studies showed that dispersal of diatoms is governed by the same rules which matter for macroorganisms. Proposed master thesis addresses the topic of diversity and dispersal in diatom species complex Frustulia rhomboides sensu lato in Europe and New Zealand. Results suggest that: (1) although revealed molecular variability in this complex shows clear ecological and biogeographical signal, it is not correlated in morphology. This is another support to general need for adoption of different species concept in diatoms. (2) A considerably uneven ratio in species diversity of genus Frustulia found in ecological similar habitats in Europe and New Zealand supports the idea that diatom dispersal is limited and stressed the need for studies dealing with biogeography.

History of vegetational development in the Cheb basin from sedimentary record of the SOOS National Nature Reserve
Suda, Tomáš ; Kuneš, Petr (advisor) ; Bešta, Tomáš (referee)
Vegetation development in the Cheb basin ( W Czech Republic) recorded in the sediments of the SOOS ational ature Reserve This thesis focuses on palaeoecological research of quaternary sediments in the Soos National Nature Reserve (Cheb basin, NW Czech Republic). Quaternary history of this locality is poorly known, despite it is a valuable and protected area with high natural qualities. The Soos basin is also known for its unique geological record, which is expected to cover information on landscape dynamics at least during the Holocene. A lake existed in the Soos basin enabling accumulation of diatomite and peat sediments of a broad palaeoecological potential. Records were analysed with method of pollen analysis and were dated using 14C. The results of this study bring information about vegetation development in the area of Cheb basin as well as development of lake ecosystem. It also gives a new insight on lake's origin and its age. The accumulation of peat sediments started in the Preboreal period and was continuous at least until the Atlantic following with a hiatus, therefore further detection of vegetation development is impossible. The beginning of diatomite accumulation, as well as the existence of the lake goes back to the Bølling interstadial, according to radiocarbon dating. However, this...

The effect of salting the highway D8 in the winter months: Results of species composition and abundance of water organisms in streams during vegetation season in year 2019.
Blabolil, Petr ; Kučerová, Andrea ; Matěna, Josef ; Bešta, Tomáš ; Rychetský, P. ; Peterka, Jiří
The focus of the study is to document the effect of chloride toxicity on aquatic organisms (macrophytes, aufwuchs, macrozoobenthos, fish and amphibians) in recipients around the D8 motorway, km 48.276 - 64.689, where the motorway passes through the České středohoří Protected Landscape Area. The summary of the achieved results for the vegetation season 2019 is the content of the presented report.
