Fire as an alternative way of the landscape management
Maximov, Fedor ; Novák, Jan (advisor) ; Adámek, Martin (referee)
Prescribed burning is a method that has been used since prehistoric times to keep unforested areas. In pastures, fire was used to remove dead biomass, return nutrients to the soil and improve forage quality, as well as to convert forests fields to a shifting agriculture. The abandonment of burning in the last century has led to an accumulation of plant biomass in the landscape. This, combined with global warming, is now creating the threat of dangerous fires. In 2022, controlled burning was allowed in the Czech Republic as a way of managing habitats that are at risk of becoming woodland without proper management. Rare heliophilous plant and animal species are tied to them. It would therefore be advisable to reintroduce this management method, together with monitoring and control of its effects on species and communities. The aim of this backelor thesis is to summarise the existing knowledge about prescribed burning in Europe. It also describes how controlled burning affects the dynamics of dry grasslands and heathlands. The main focus is on attributes of controlled burning that can be used to maintain selected habitats. Keywords: fire, vegetation, landscape management, succession

Potravní ekologie koní v kontextu ochranářského managementu krajiny
HÁJKOVÁ, Pavlína
This thesis provides a review of knowledge available on wild and feral horse feeding ecology, habitat preferences, competition overlap with other herbivores and their impact on vegetation. In summary, horses appear valuable for management of grasslands, but less suitable for regulation of shrubs and trees, especially when they are compared to cattle and cervids, which are more able to eliminate woody plants. Together with a tabular overview of literature on feeding ecology and plant taxa eaten by horses in the Holarctic realm, an optimalized protocol is provided to facilitate proper field collection of data about the feeding ecology and behavioral repertoire in large ungulates.

Management zemědělského podniku a životní prostředí
Baštýřová, Jiřina ; Syrovátka, Oldřich (advisor) ; Šlesinger, Jaromír (referee)
The objective of the present thesis is to evaluate economic activities of a medium-sized agricultural farm in a real environment. The theoretical part of the thesis is engaged with the problems of the current scale of use of the landscape by farmers who continue to lay emphasis primarily on the economic function. Subsequently, in pursuance of our research, an alternative method of farming, i.e. organic farming, is described, along with the contemporary situation of this sphere in the Czech Republic. The last chapter of the theoretical part examines the Common Agricultural Policy of the EU and the tools thereof. In the framework of our research, the area of interest in which the farm observed works is described, and processes of the farm´s economic activities and economic evaluation are delineated. Next, environmentally-friendly landscape measures are proposed which take into consideration both the ecologic and social functions. This method of farming is evaluated in terms of economy and this evaluation includes an outline of the problems of the system of subsidies

Landscape Management in the Village Křeč
Dvořáčková, Hana ; Syrovátka, Oldřich (advisor) ; Lukášová, Tereza (referee)
This Bachelor's thesis deals with landscape Management of the administrative boundaries of the village Křeč. The aim of the thesis is to gain and draw up documents for management decision making in matters of long-term sustainable drinking water supplying for the village. It will be examined hydrological water area network, identified quality of drinking water and found potential sources of drinking water pollution. Within the municipality Křeč will be performed research concerning the issue whether the landscape is able to hold water when exposed to climate change. The research will be focused on monitoring the groundwater level. This will be achieved through underground wells - probes, rainfall measurement and brook flow at the local brook measurement. It will be proposed an appropriate measure that will lead to drainage stabilization, prevention against erosion occurrence and in the end will improve the resulting landscape.

Fast-growing Trees as a Tool for Preventing the Impacts of Climate Change
Humešová, Tereza ; Syrovátka, Oldřich (advisor) ; Weger, Jan (referee)
This work was created as a response to the drought in the summer of 2015, which revealed the risks associated with a lack of moisture in the soil due to inadequate management landscape. The main objective is to select areas in the chosen territory where it would be desirable to implement measures that would lead to stabilization of drainage conditions, and support the landscape and territorial system of ecological stability (biodiversity).In addition to creating the appropriate landscape features and the introduction of environmentally friendly agricultural crops eligible planting fast-growing trees (FGT), which on agricultural land, for the interest of stabilizing of drainage conditions, in many ways irreplaceable alternate functions of the forest.This culture is therefore paid special attention; Work has focused on the estimation of the possible production of wood and possibility of its eventual use.The study is prepared as a possible basis for practical solutions to complex land arrangements in the cadastral areas. It was found that the FGT would be advisable to cultivate an area of up to 2461 ha.

Management of the Headwater Area of Jihlava River
Sviták, Jan ; Syrovátka, Oldřich (advisor) ; Duchek, Stanislav (referee)
This Bachelor work deals with the management of the headwater area of the Jihlava River. The work is based on the detected state of the headwater area of the Jihlava River, which is currently very ecologically unstable from the reasons of the improper regulations and agricultural interventions. This situation is described and evaluated in the work. On the base of the results such corrective measures are suggested, which lead to ecological stability increase in the headwater basin, especially regarding drainage conditions. This measures can serve as the base for the initiation and realization of comprehensive landscape adjustments. For these purposes the management of the individual municipalities will be asked for their opinion regarding the realization of the comprehensive landscape adjustments.
