Ležící kmeny Picea abies (L.) Karst v horské lesnaté krajině: délka dekompozice a role v dynamice ekosystému
Srubková, Andrea
Lying trunks play an important role in a dynamics of a mountain wooded countryside. The wood that is slowly decomposing affects the slope processes, hydrology, biologic diversity, carbon cycle and supports natural recovery of the forest ecosystems. The goal of the study was to find individuals in the stricly protected locations of NP and CHKO Šumava. During the field research, the characteristics of the environment and the individuals were examinated and samples of standing and lying trunks were taken to be later examinated in the laboratory (age, density). It was found that the oldest cases are located in the NPR Boubínský prales even though they were affected by frequent disturbance. The results show the domination of standing trunks in the age of approximately 140 years in the last stage of decomposition. The oldest discovered individual was a spruce in the age of approximately 300 years, which shows a short period of time since its collapse.

The German Prose of Karl Klostermann
ŠÍMOVÁ, Sandra
This bachelor's thesis focuses on Karl Klostermann and his works Böhmerwaldskizzen, Heiterres und Trauriges aus Böhmerwald and other German-language texts, which were published primarily in magazines and secondarily in books in the original language and in Czech translations. The author will focus on these works and their distribution in detail and present them in terms of genre and subject matter. The work will also include a comparison of translations of Böhmerwaldskizzen / Črt ze Šumavy by Marie Stunová (1923) and Bohumil Nohejl (1986).

Critically endangered Large Heath butterfly in Šumava: situation, trends and threats
JANDOVÁ, Kateřina
The main goal of this work was to map the occurrence of the large heath (Coenonympha tullia) from the Nymphalidae family in the Bohemian Forest National Park. This species currently occurs in the Czech Republic only in the Bohemian Forest peatlands up to an altitude of 900 m above sea level and very rarely in the Třeboň region (Hanč et al., 2019). Monitoring took place in June 2023 in the Bohemian Forest peatlands in the Moldau floodplain. I visited in total 51 sites with a potential distribution of the species. The large heath (Coenonympha tullia) was found in 11 of them. I monitored also several potential predictors of the butterfly occurrence, including an information about the distribution of its host plants, cottonsedge (Eriophorum vaginatum) and common cottongrass (Eriophorum angustifolium). Subsequent statistical comparison of various indicators at the sites from 2023 with monitoring from 2021 (Fric and Walter, 2022) showed that indeed the Bohemian Forest peatlands are drying out. After comparing the number of large heath (Coenonympha tullia) individuals, it was found that the number of individuals in 2023 was higher than in 2021.

Boletice - a new tourism destination and its sustainable development
ŠOTOLA, František
The bachelor's thesis entitled "Boletice - a New Tourism Destination and its Sustainable Development" describes the area within the ring around the Boletice Military Retreat. The theoretical part presents the history of the area, as well as the conditions for tourism development and its current development, both in terms of the changing size of the training area and in terms of the economic and educational base on which tourism and regional development can build. Furthermore, through in-depth interviews with local stakeholders, the thesis creates a space for discussing key topics that resonate not only with local residents but also with tourists and the wider public observing this area of South Bohemia. By comparing individual views, we find an overlap of interests among respondents, but not a majority opinion, which shows us the importance of local stakeholders. The following part of the thesis proposes the creation of a new sustainable tourism product, namely the reconstruction of the former narrow-gauge railway, which was built on the Spálenec - Arnoštov - Knížecí stolec route for the needs of calamity logging at the beginning of the last century. This product not only refers to the history of the site, specifically to the significant event that shaped it, but also presents a technical monument to tourism users. It also offers a unique experience that does not unduly burden the local landscape.

Fluctuations in the groundwater level in the montane peat bog Rokytka
Lencová, Kateřina ; Šobr, Miroslav (advisor) ; Doležal, Tomáš (referee)
Peatbogs are globally widespread ecosystems that have a major influence on the hydrological conditions of watersheds. Of particular importance are mountain highlands, which are characterized by their occurrence in the source areas of streams. Despite the indisputable importance of the montane peatbogs in terms of runoff conditions, their influence has not yet been conclusively clarified. Montane peatbogs are a particularly important topic for the Šumava region, where they represent a fundamental element of the landscape. The study site is therefore situated in one of the Šumava's spring areas - the Rokytka watershed. As part of this thesis, the issue of the hydrological function of the monitored peatbog has been viewed mainly through the differences in the fluctuation of the groundwater level in different parts of the peatbog. At the same time, the influence of the precipitation on the change in the groundwater level in the peatbogs and on the runoff response of the Rokytka brook has been monitored. Precipitation is the only source of water for the highlands and its influence is therefore crucial. Although several previous studies have focused on the influence of this highland on the runoff conditions of the Rokytka brook, groundwater levels from manually measured probes have not yet been analysed....

Contribution to the Study of the Mesolithic Settlement in Bohemia
Čuláková, Katarína ; Oliva, Martin (advisor) ; Pavlů, Ivan (referee) ; Płonka, Tomasz (referee)
ČULÁKOVÁ, KATARÍNA. Contribution to the Study of the Mesolithic Settlement in Bohemia. Prague: Faculty of Arts, Charles University, 2015, 742 p. (including appendices and plates), PhD. thesis. This thesis wants to present lithic collections. Part of them come from an Eastern Bohemian region and part of them from the Bohemian Forest region. Firstly there is a description of how the collections were obtained. Most of the material comes from a surface survey, a smaller part comes from test pitting. A majority of the collections wasn't previously published and was processed for the purpose of this thesis, part of the information was obtained from published articles. This thesis presents a collection of 25 000 lithic pieces from Eastern Bohemia and 3 500 lithic pieces from the Bohemian Forest. At first there are the most numerous sites described according to their position in the landscape and composition of the lithic collection. Then there is a whole collection characterised according to the used raw material, typology and used technology. This information is incorporated into the wider frame of Central European mesolithics. One of the most interesting features of the collection is the variability of raw materials, which is especially high in the Eastern Bohemian region. From the technological point...
