Assessment of the impact of wind calamity from November 19, 2004 on the nature of the High Tatra Mountains
Vosátková, Veronika ; Lipský, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Matějček, Tomáš (referee)
The aim of this study is to bring a light into the situation of wind calamity which happened 19.11.2004. After the physicographical analysis of this locality, I will try to bring the whole picture of this catastrophe, its causes and mostly consequences left on the tatra nature. I will pay special attention to regeneration of the country and following steps in dealing with this calamity because of two different opinions on the picture of Tatras. Finally, I will discuss future progress in Tatra mountains and i will try to answer the question, whether was a worse catastrophe a wind calamity or human intervention in this locality afterwards.

Long-term disturbance dynamics of spruce forest in High Tatra Mts.
Beranová, Jana ; Kuneš, Petr (advisor) ; Jamrichová, Eva (referee)
Spruce forest is an important production ecosystem for our civilization. Its development can be affected by three main types of disturbances: forest fire, windstorms and spruce bark beetle attack. Experiences with a massive and long-term attack of spruce bark beetle in the Šumava mountains and a strong windstorm in 2004 in the spruce forest in the High Tatra provoke questions, how natural are such severe disturbances. To understand the current development of forest ecosystems, it is necessary to study past structure of these forests and frequency of forest disturbances. This work is about locality Tatranská Lomnice located in the High Tatra mountains, in the belt of mountain spruce forest. In my work, I used mainly pollen and plant macro-fossils analyses. I compared my data with disturbance information originating from dendroecology for windstorms and from charcoal analysis for fires. My research found that according to the pollen assemblages, most of the disturbances did not have strong influence on the forest composition, and most likely they only caused the forest thinning. The most significant fire occurred around 1420. The most significant wind disturbance probably occurred in 1890. The was not found any effect of spruce bark beetle. In the past millennium disturbances affected spruce forest...

Observation of annual water level changes on lakes in High Tatra Mts.
Sankotová, Tereza ; Šobr, Miroslav (advisor) ; Janský, Bohumír (referee)
The presented thesis deals with annual lake level fluctuation in the High Tatra Mountains. It focuses on the related issue of the hydrological regime of lakes and the process of observation of level fluctuation depending on the genetic type of a lake. On the basis of the available literature, the thesis aims to determine the causes of annual changes in the level fluctuation and to compare these with other alpine lakes. The findings are applied to the lake level fluctuation data originating from the Skalnaté pleso and Hincové Oká. Through a comparison of level fluctuation of lakes in the High Tatra Mountains and the Šumava Mountains significant differences in the annual running of lake levels were found. By contrast, the comparison with the lakes in glacial area, whose hydrological regime is dependent on other physical-geographical factors, show that the annual running level fluctuations are similar. Key words: High Tatra Mountains, lake, hydrological regime
