Ekosystems services of river floodplain
Pithart, David ; Benedová, Zdeňka ; Křováková, Kateřina
The book of abstractcs contains contributions from the conference „Ecosystem services of river floodplains“, held in Třeboň, Czech republic, in april 2008. The articles deals with functions of river floodplains in the landscape, ecosystem services concept, water, nutrient and carbon retention, biodiversity, floodplain morphology and its development, hydrological aspects of river flooplains, andd water management policies and revitalizations.

Large-scale rehabilitation in the alluvial area along the lower reaches of the Dyje River
Lusk, Stanislav ; Pražák, O. ; Lusková, Věra ; Halačka, Karel ; Vetešník, Lukáš
The Dyje River between Lednice and Bulhary was straightened, canalised, and provided with levees. Most of the alluvial area near Podivin was transformed to arable land. Due to elimination of floods, save for exceptions, areas denoted as wetlands and reed beds were qute dry for most of the year. As a result, the native fish communities typical of alluvial habitats gradually vanished from their habitats. In recent years, some 470 hectares on the left bank of the Dyje River, owned by a single private person, were transformed into a deer sanctuary. In the past two years, the arable land in that area has been gradually turned into meadows and a floodplain forest, together with restoring and enlarging the area of permanently waterlogged parts denoted as wetlands. As a result, the conditions permitting permanent occurrence of fish have been significantly improved and for a purposeful restoration of their fish communities in which native species predominate (the Carassius-Misgurnus type).

Role of wetlands in cycles of energy, water, nutrients, carbon and heavy metals in landscape
Pokorný, Jan ; Květ, Jan
Basic values on solar energy income and its distribution in dry and wetlans are given. Production of differnt wetland plants and accumulation of nutrients, carbon, hevy metals in biomass, water sediments are given for floodplains, fishponds, bogs, and wet meadows. Examples of nutrient loads, water capacity, evapotranspiration values are discused in terms of sustainable mamagement of landscape.

Long-term research in wetland of the Třeboň Basin Biosphere Reserve
Květ, Jan ; Straškrábová, Viera
The Třeboň basin belongs to most investigated areas of the Czech Republic. A great variety of ecological data enable to make long-term comparisons of the recent state of the ecosystem with those occuring some decades to ca. hinred years ago. Thanks to well-documented history of human impacts into natural relations, the historical aspect may also be utilized. This helps considersably to realize the long-term ecological research.
