Environmental behavior of companies.....
Machová, Daniela ; Polák, Miloš (advisor) ; Benešová, Libuše (referee)
This literature review summarizes a beginning and development of environmental activities and then an issue of environmental behavior of companies. It describes how companies can minimize eventual negative impacts of their work on environment using voluntary environmental activities and properly working environmental management. The next goal of the work is an assessment of one specific voluntary environmental activity, which is a project called "Green Company". This one is specialized in waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and batteries. Nevertheless projects like this one can raise an interest of employees for environment, enhance their awareness and also help company to gain international certification like ISO 14001. Key words: company, environmental behavior, electrical and electronic equipment, ISO, EMAS

Environmental gradients in canyon-shaped reservoirs
Stodola, Jakub ; Petrusek, Adam (advisor) ; Seďa, Jaromír (referee)
The occurrence of environmental gradients in canyon-shaped reservoirs is influenced mainly by the size of reservoir and water retention time. The reservoir must be large and deep enough for environmental gradients to occur there. In such reservoirs vertical and horizontal gradients can be found. Presence of vertical gradients in lakes is relatively common, whereas horizontal gradients abound in deep canyon reservoirs. An example is the gradient of nutrients, the quantity of which decreases in the direction from the inflow towards the dam. Vertical abiotic gradients are the same for reservoirs and lakes. These are mainly gradients of light, heat, dissolved and oxygen. Some abiotic horizontal gradients may be present in both to reservoirs and lakes. The abiotic gradients also often affect the biotic ones. For example the gradient of nutrients affects the gradient of all organisms in the reservoir. Each species living in the reservoir prefers different type of environmental conditions, which may be given by a combination of these gradients. The areas preferred by particular cladoceran species can overlap quite extensively. In the Daphnia longispina species complex, co-occurrence of parental species may result in interspecific hybridization, and possibly formation of hybrid zones. The hybrids can often...

Natura 2000 and its impact on farming
TRYKAROVÁ, Kristýna
Natura 2000 is the system of protected areas, which are constituted by the states of European Union and its target is to protect the most valuable and the most endangered animal and plant species and biotopes. The goal of this bachelor´s thesis is to analyse the positive and negative aspects of the system Natura 2000 in connection with agro-environmental subsidies and analyse the opinions of the farming subjects regarding the Natura 2000 limits. Theoretical part of this work characterized the system Natura 2000, its historical development and appropriate legislative. Further the influence on the agricultural economy in the area and agro-environmental subsidies was described. Practical part was focused on questionnaire investigation among the users of this agricultural areas belonging to the system Natura 2000 in the South Bohemia, mainly in the connection with agro-environmental subsidies. The results show, that the farmers do not see the Natura 2000 system and farming within the limits and compensations entirely positively; the majority of the investigated expressed the opinion that they are limited by Natura 2000 and that these limits are not fully compensated.

Assessment of water mutagenicity
ECKER, Jacqueline
Since severe health and environmental problems are caused by mutagenic organic pollutants there are urgent needs for the determination of the mutagenicity of surface waters. This work summarizes the literature regarding the occurrence and determination techniques of organic pollutants with mutagenic potential. Additionally, some selected organic pollutants were quantified in surface waters. For pre-concentration Blue Rayon, a sorbent based on a copper phthalocyanine dye suitable for the concentration of polycyclic aromatic compounds with mutagenic potential, was used.

Hodnocení vlivu agroenvironmentálních opatření na zimoviště kalouse pustovky (Otis flammeus) a motáka pilicha (Circus cyaneus)
Poláková, Zdeňka
ABSTRACT The aim of the thesis "Evaluation of the impact of agri-environmental measures on wintering Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus) and Hen Harrier (Circus cyaneus)" is to make an analysis of the current farming and to define an corresponding management in chosen locality. In the opening part of the thesis there is made the analysis od agricultural management within the area called Komarov -- Special Protection Area (in Elbe river basin) and also the description of the bird species and the description of the chosen agricultural farm together with the evaluation of the requirement on the system of agricultural management. The part of the thesis is also the analysis of draft of the document "The Program for Rural Development" for the years 2014 -- 2020, on this analysis was proposed the optimal management. There was also evaluated the quantity of birds in the locality and the possible damages on animals and deer were considered. There were specified the ecosysteme services from the descibed arrangement. Key words: Short-eared Owl, Hen Harrier, agroenvironmental arrangement, agriculture.

Hodnocení vlivu agroenvironmentálních opatření - biopásy
Bukáčková, Anna
The aim is to evaluate the implementation and management used to upgrade agri-environmental measures - bio-belts . To achieve the objective, the analysis of the selected company which has bio-belts including the assessment of agri-environmental management. It also includes a description of important bird species that utilize these bio-belts and their importance in agroecosystems. Attention is paid to the partridge (Perdix perdix). For evaluation and design was selected soil block, where the farmer implements appropriate agri-environmental measures, which reflect the occurrence of partridges. In accordance with the chosen methodology was evaluated for its contribution to the support of biodiversity and measures have been proposed innovation, which leads to economical loss, in order to improve the current management. The proposed innovation is based on the upcoming agricultural subsidy policy for the period 2014 - 2020 period. To evaluate the contribution of the measure is to use a methodology which takes into account the numbers of birds and damage caused by animals in the area. In conclusion, the evaluated ecosystem services that are provided by the proposed measures. Keywords:

The Analysis of Czech Republic Environmental Risks - as an Essential Part of Crisis Management
PANSKÝ, Tomáš
The thesis presents an analysis of environmental risks. Their causes and potential dangerous after-effects which might materialize in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part focuses on the list of current legal environmental risk management standards and points out potential environmental threat sources that might have detrimental impact within both the Czech Republic. In the field research part environmental risk factors and their consequences within the Czech Republic and the South Bohemia region are described. The reserach results have been used to suggest several feasible measures that should help to improve environmental risk prevention, and which should also enhance the risk analysis process carried out by crisis management bodies.
