Analýza lesnického hospodaření na vybrané lesní správě LČR, s. p.
Vanžura, Tomáš
The thesis deals with the evaluation of forest management with a focus on the economic efficiency of the selected Lanškroun Forestry Administration for the reference period of 2008-2016, according to the combined production performances and underperformances of growing and mining operations that form revenues, costs and the resulting operating profit. For a more accurate interpretation the results are recalculated to the individual sets of the forest types, which are represented in the Lanškroun Forestry Administration. The aim is to evaluate the economy and to design more efficient, accurate and responsible management, i.e. optimisation of revenues and costs. Static and dynamic methods of economic efficiency were used for the evaluation.

A knowledge of secondary school students on forests, bark beetles and bark beetle outbreaks
PAVLOVEC, Petr
PAVLOVEC, Petr. Knowledge of primary school students about forests, bark beetle and bark beetlecalamity. Bachelor thesis. Faculty of Education, University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, Department of Biology, 2021, 63 pages. The bachelor's thesis deals with the knowledge of pupils of the 2nd grade of primary schools about forest management in Czech forests and about the nation wide problem which has currently become a bark beetlecalamity. The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to find out whether primary school pupils are sufficiently familiar with the problem of bark beetlecalamity and to assess thed ifferences in pupils' knowledge in areas with a high incidence of the issue in contrast to areas almou untouched. Pupils' information and awareness of forests and the bark beetle (Scolytinae) subfamily will be obtained through aquestionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed to pupils of chosen secondary schools.

Methodology for the processing of archival materials on the historical use of forest properties
Suchánková, Silvie ; Vild, Ondřej ; Szabó, Péter ; Chudomelová, Markéta ; Hédl, Radim
As a result of climate change, forestry has to deal with rapid changes of the environment. This has recently culminated in bark beetle calamities. More than ever before, there is a need for quality information about forests in order to implement effective adaptation measures to changing conditions. Knowledge of history allows us to understand the current situation and manage forests better. This methodology summarizes how to obtain and use the information on forest history. It provides an introduction to the study of archival materials in Czech archives and provides instructions for independent work. It focuses on the description of the archival network in the Czech Republic, introduces archival aids and archival terminology. It also lists important online databases and advises on how to proceed when working in the archive and when working with historical sources. Finally, the LONGWOOD database, containing large amounts of data on Moravian and Silesian forests is presented as an example of the use of archival materials.

Rights and duties of a forest owner
Slaměníková, Hana ; Stejskal, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Franková, Martina (referee)
Rights and duties of the owner of the forest This diploma thesis deals with the legal regulation of rights and duties of forest owner and defines the basic terms related to this topic. The thesis consists of seven parts, whereas chapter one is introductory and chapter nine is conclusion. Chapter Two deals with the basic information of the history of the forest legislation. Chapter Three pays attention on the forest in the Czech republic and provides a describtion of different forest types located in our territory. Chapter Four provides legal definitions of basic terminology. Chapter Five mentions the ownership of forest owners and restrictions of their property rights. The main attention is paid to chapter Six and Seven, which include a summary of the most important rights and duties with which the forest ownership is undoubtedly associated. Chapter Eight deals with the liability of forest owner and sanctions, that may be required. The aim of my thesis is to focuse on rights and duties of forest owner within forest inventory etc. The main source of this work is the Forest Act.

Processes in the forest vegetation of thermophyticum in the past decades
Pospíšková, Marie ; Hédl, Radim (advisor) ; Szabó, Péter (referee)
The thermophilous forests, especially their herb layer, are important from the conservational as well as from the cultural point of view because they represent unique communities directly and indirectly affected by man on the long term basis. Since the 19th century the way these communities are affected changed significantly, the same way as the whole society changed, and the vegetation responded by shift of species composition, diversity and also changes of the spatial structure. This thesis brings together the most relevant changes of vegetation and their causes. However, there is similar situation in the whole Europe, or more widely in the whole temperate zone, thus there are references also for other countries. Regarding historical ecology, one of the most studied countries is the Great Britain, which is mentioned the most often in this work.

Forest evolution in Central Europe during the Holocene periode
Švábová, Barbora ; Šefrna, Luděk (advisor) ; Matějček, Tomáš (referee)
The work deals with the forest as an ecosystem where relationships take place, which are influenced by abiotic and biotic factors. Great attention is paid to the climate, which affects not only the distribution of biomes. Its constant changes have an impact on the species composition of forests and human society. By the effects of the climate, the Holocene period was divided into sub-stages. Man also played a significant role in the conversion of the central Europe forest and changes it even now. That is why this work devotes a considerable part of it to this influence. Great changes of the forest began with the emergence of agriculture, which was the first impulse for the beginning of deforestation. Examined are the ways of prehistoric and modern economy. With the loss of trees came an idea of protecting the forests. As an example of possible further effect on the forest, the influence of some pathogens is presented.

Forest vegetation in Eastern Elbe Basin in the mid-20th century and today
Pospíšková, Marie ; Hédl, Radim (advisor) ; Novák, Jan (referee)
This thesis describes the shift in vegetation of broadleaf forests in eastern part of the Elbe River Basin between 1958-1968 and 2011-2013. It emphasizes the understorey vegetation. From lowland woodlands in other temperate regions in Europe and North America changes towards eutrophic and mesophytic vegetation are documented, specifically driven by changes in forest management and by atmospheric depositions; in some localities the game impact can be also important. The data were obtained by sampling 190 typological semi-permanent plots, which were precisely located - in 43% the original soil pit was found. The vegetation on study sites shifted towards nutrient-demanding, shade- adapted species, it was partly ruderalized. These changes can be seen on the level of species and communities as well as on phytosociological level. Increase of soil pH and moisture was discovered using Ellenberg indicator values. The number of seedlings and cover of shrubs also increased significantly. Homogenization of sites was significant as well although total number of species and alpha- diversity remained unchanged. These changes are probably caused by changes in forest management and by atmospheric depositions of nitrogen. On subset of plots in game-preserves the vegetation also demonstrated eutrophication but no increase in...

Population trends of forest birds in Czechia
Szarvas, Filip ; Reif, Jiří (advisor) ; Hofmeister, Jan (referee)
Currently, most scientific attention focused on bird population trends is centred on birds in the agricultural landscape. Forest bird research, on the other hand, is given far less space, despite the fact that forests in Europe often form a substantial part of the landscape in some parts. Moreover, it is undergoing drastic changes throughout Europe, and especially in the Czech Republic. In the second half of the 20th century, their quality deteriorated due to air pollution, later regenerated, but other additional challenges have emerged, such as global climate change and epidemics of wood-destroying insects. It is therefore possible to assume their fundamental influence on forest bird populations. However, most of the work examining the effects of the forest environment and forest management on bird populations is only very local, limited to ecologically valuable, and therefore quite specific, habitats, or covering only a small number of bird species. However, data on the evolution of forest birds vary across Europe. In Finland, for example, forest birds are declining, while in neighbouring Sweden the trend is the opposite. In this study, I aim to better map what characteristics of forests affect specific species of birds, in research conducted throughout the Czech Republic. I decided to explore...
