Effect of conservation grazing on dry grasslands of the Czech Republic
Marek, Matouš ; Münzbergová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Karlík, Petr (referee)
This diploma thesis is focused on grazing management in the Czech Republic, namely in Prague, České středohoří and Český kras. More specifically, on dry semi natural grasslands (Festucion valesiacae, Bromion erecti and Cirsio-Brachypodion pinnati). The main aim of this thesis was to identify the total effect of grazing in all its forms on the species composition and the diversity of vegetation. Data were collected in 2022 on 54 pastures subjected to conservation grazing, where the management has been going on for 1 - 24 years. Data have been collected on individual localities using phytocenological relevés. Data on the management have been obtained through talks with locality administrators and through questionnaires. Used covariates were associated with the micro-site of the phytocenological relevé, climatic data, types of surrounding vegetation, place of the relevé, soil chemical analyses and the management. The results of this thesis show that grazing predictors often influence broad-leaf grasses, especially Bromus erectus and Brachypodium pinnatum, which negatively affect endangered species. Species composition is mainly affected by the time since start of the management, and the season of grazing. Spring and autumn grazing were identified as positive tools of management (increasing numbers of...

Effects of grazing on grasslands with the focus on the knowledge from the Czech Republic
Marek, Matouš ; Münzbergová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Sedláček, Ondřej (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the application of grazing management on semi-natural grasslands of Czech Republic. One of the purposes of this thesis is to present the concept of using non-scientific literature and experience of conservation practitioners, the "Evidence based conservation", which serves as an inspiration for this bachelor thesis. This concept acts on the principle of making systematic reviews using a broad spectrum of unpublished sources, including personal observation. This thesis is composed of two parts. The first part is a review of scientifically proven impacts of grazing on biodiversity and its individual parts, primarily the plants. The second part focuses on knowledge and opinions of conservation practitioners, who are interested in grazing management. This thesis presents different ways of grazing management, particular grazing problems and their solutions. It speaks about the importance of communication with the general public, which is an often underestimated factor. In this thesis, the grazing conservation is divided into two fundamental elements, the applicating part and the institutional part, which are here also compared. Another aim of this thesis is to analyse the current condition of grazing management and conservation of semi-natural grassland in Czech Republic...
