Changes of rainfall-runoff regime in the Stropnice river-basin
Volková, Alena ; Šobr, Miroslav (advisor) ; Janský, Bohumír (referee)
This paper deals with the rainfall-runoff regime in the Stropnice river-basin and its development. The aim of this paper is to answer the question of‚were there any changes in the runoff regime during the period 1945 - 2009, and if so, were these changes conditioned by climate or were they caused by human interventions' (e. g. river network modification, changes of the land cover, drainage systems development etc.). The single-mass and double- mass curves were used as the primary methodology. The homogeneity of the time series of mean discharge, precipitation and air temperature were statistically tested using Mann-Whitney-Pettit test and Mann-Whitney test. The Mann-Whitney-Pettit test was performed using the programme AnClim (v5.012), which is freely available online, the Mann-Whitney test was performed using SPSS 15.0. Non-parametric Mann-Kendall test was used for the trend detection, performed in MULTMK/PARTMK by C. Libiseller and A. Grimvall, also freely available online. Some changes in the runoff regime were uncovered in the early 80s', when the runoff decreased, which also happened after 1988. During these periods almost no annual flood occured. The first decrease of the runoff was caused by a drier season in the 80s'. The second decrease after 1988 was probably caused by a build-up of the...

Biodiversity of epigeic beetles in wheat and maize fields in conventional management
SLOVÁKOVÁ, Karolína
In 2016, a survey of the effect of conventional wheat and maize cultivation on the epigeic beetles biodiversity was conducted. The field selected for this survey fell into the cadastral area of České Budějovice and was located between the municipalities of Pašinovice and Římov. The agricultural cooperative Ločenice was operating in these fields. Using ground traps with ethylene glycol solution, between May and September, 622 beetles were captured. These were used to determine activity, dominance, biodiversity according to the Shannon-Weaver index (H), relictness and anthropogenic impact on communities of epigeic beetles in these localities. The highest activity was recorded in the corn field (353 pieces) and 269 pieces in the wheat field. The most frequent families of both localities were Carabidae and Staphylinidae. The most frequent species was Poecilus cupreus, found 153 times in the maize field and 140 times in the wheat field. Biodiversity has been low compared to other localities - H corn field 1,11 and H wheat field 0,87. Both sites proved to be very heavily influenced from the anthropogenic point of view - ISD maize field 1.5 and wheat field ISD 0. This value showed a 100 percent presence of expansive species in the wheat field. A very low number (9 pieces) of the 2nd order relics - adaptable species - was recorded in the maize field. Adaptable species were 2 of the family of Carabidae - Harpalus latus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Notiophilus biguttatus (Fabricius, 1778) and 3 of the Staphylinidae family: Othius punctulatus (Goeze, 1777), Philonthus quisquiliarius (Gyllenhal, 1810) and P. umbratilis (Gravenhorst, 1802). In neither field, as mentioned above, no relics of the 1st order - rare and endangered species were recorded. The results of this work were influenced by climatic conditions and movement of game during the sampling period.

Diverzita obojživelníků (Amphibia) a jejich antropogenní ovlivnění v národním parku Podyjí
Bohuslavová, Markéta
The thesis focuses on amphibian species diversity in the National Park Podyjí. There were chosen four areas with various anthropogenic loads, on which monitoring was being regularly performed. Those areas were specifically ponds; Čížovský, Dehťák, under Lesná and a swimming hole called Na Pyramidě. To achieve a numerical representation along with a representation of species, invasive and non-invasive monitoring methods were used. During the research, eight different species were detected, even though there were eleven of them founded in the past. Among the most abundant species is the Common toad, the Agile frog, the Common frog, the Northern crested newt and the Smooth newt. Surprisingly, the presence and successful reproduction of northern crested newts was proved in the pond under Lesná, on the other hand, there were no signs of moor frogs or any other common water frogs. The collected data were afterwards used to calculate synecological characteristics (dominance, species diversity, equitability and the Jaccard similarity coefficient), while the achieved results were compared with the other authors and evaluated in terms of anthropogenic influence. The amphibians in the national park are threatened by a high fish stock and the absence of littoral vegetation. Recommended management within the areas would be to catch and then deploy the appropriate species of fish, as the case may be, build barriers and create the littoral zone.

Historical position of alpine timberline in the Krkonoše Mts. derived from antique maps and photographs
Vágner, Tomáš ; Treml, Václav (advisor) ; Lipský, Zdeněk (referee)
The purpose of the diploma thesis is the analysis of alpine timberline shifts in the Giant Mountains between 18th and 21st century. The altitudinal position of alpine timberline is a sensitive indicator which reflects human impacts as well as the climatic changes. Methodical approach included the reconstruction of alpine timberlines from the old maps (published in 1765, 1851-52, 1879, 1906) and their comparison with the newer data, which were evaluated from a series of aerial photographs dated 1936 and 2002 (actualized 2005; data provided by supervisor). Data obtained from the old maps and aerial photographs (1936) were compared and verified with old photos and postcards from Giant Mountains. The average altitude of alpine timberline increased during the study period. The increase in elevation of alpine timberline is significant between 19th and first half of 20th century, e. g. in period when the human influence in Giant Mountains decreased. It is concluded that position of alpine timberline in Giant Mountains depended on human influence. Key words: tree line, alpine timberline, human influence, Giant Mountains

Road side verges in agricultural landscape and their biodiversity - epigeic beetles
JELÍNEK, Jan
The species diversity, aktivity, equitability and human impact were studied using epigeic beetle communities on transect whest field field trip and alfaalfa field. The materiál was collected by pitfall traps during the period Juni-September 20016 in cadastr of the town Písek in the Southern Bohemia. 38 species and 567 individuals were kept together. Activita of beetles differs in studied plots. The highest aktivity was found on fields and the lowest in field trip. Index of human impact was very similar on studied plots wheat 2,5, field trip 12, rape 0). I tis clear that alll studied are strongly impacted by human acticity. The frequency of relic species were (Dragons and Ground beetles) 20% only on all studied plots 80,00%. The adaptible species absent on field cultures and was found on field trip only. 6 species of adaptible (stenotopic) species were found on field trip only, but their aktivity were very low. The equitability of communities in filed plots was very low (2,331 2,474). The highest equitabilty was found on field trip (3,04). The ordination of commuties indicate the close similarity. The species diversaity is very similar in all communities on studied plots. We recommend the change of sowing management and the lower agrotechnic interference in studied locality. We recommend to enhance the plots of biocorridors and biocenters. The stuided field trip plays a role for the increse of the biodiversity of epigeic beetles, which are important for the reduction of pest organisms in agricultural landscape.
