Design of a web GIS application for analysis of tree-ring chronology data and presentation of its results
Svátková, Anna ; Brůha, Lukáš (advisor) ; Brodský, Lukáš (referee)
This bachelor thesis concerns the design of a web GIS application tailored for tree-ring chronology data processing. It describes the development of a script tool in Python computing the medians of Cropper values from input dendrochronological data. The medians then enter a regression function. The approximated values obtained by the regression are afterwards interpolated within a region in the north of the Kokořínsko protected landscape area, designated for this case study. The procedure of publishing the tool as a geoprocessing service at an ArcGIS Server is described next, as well as its subsequent use within a preset sample widget. The customized widget with the geoprocessing service connected to it is then embedded into a web application created in the ArcGIS Web AppBuilder environment. The functionality of the application is designed to allow the presentation of geoprocessing service analysis results. Keywords: dendrochronology, Cropper values, tree-ring chronologies, spatial regression, spatial interpolation, web application, web GIS, ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Server, geoprocessing service, web tool, Python script, arcpy module, Web AppBuilder, custom widget

Design of a dendrochronological database
Majer, Hugo-Miroslav ; Brůha, Lukáš (advisor) ; Brodský, Lukáš (referee)
The bachelor thesis focuses on the design of a spatial database of tree-ring chronologies. The theoretical part of the thesis describes database systems and the storage of spatial data in relational databases. It also reviews existing databases of tree-ring chronologies and the basics of dendrochronology. The next section describes provided dendrochronological data, which are used in methodical section of the thesis. The methodical section describes the data requirements for the created database, the process of its design and implementation within PostgreSQL/PostGIS. Subsequently, it deals with the creation of functions developed in procedural extension of SQL. The stored functions are used to improve import of data. Afterwards, the design of a data filter in the form of SQL statement is mentioned. The main result of the thesis is a spatial database that meets both data and functional requirements, contains provided data and is connectable to GIS. The thesis concludes with a summary of the achieved results and contributions to the ongoing scientific project. Keywords: spatial database, database design, tree-ring chronologies, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, Procedural Language/PostgreSQL

Development and interpretation of site tree-ring chronology of Pinus sylvestris
Mašek, Jiří ; Treml, Václav (advisor) ; Šefrna, Luděk (referee)
The presented bachelor thesis deals with the study of climatic factors that influence the growth of the pine (Pinus sylvestris) in the locality near Rabštejn nad Střelou. The primary objective was to determine the limiting factors of tree growth and to perform dendroclimatic reconstruction. For this purpose, samples were taken at the site and local chronologies were created using various standardization methods. Using the correlation coefficients, limiting growth factors were determined, and reconstruction by regression and scaling was performed based on the highest correlation. The results showed a strong relationship of rings width to rainfall and humidity conditions, especially in the summer months and in various seasons from April to August. Most of the chronologies also showed the positive influence of February temperatures. Observed signature rings in many cases are well responsive to various climatic anomalies. For the most correlated variable, dendroclimatic reconstruction was calculated for the period 1850 - 2016 when the chronology was reliable. The reconstructed average rainfall corresponds well with the Klementinum climate line and other rainfall reconstructions.

Selected approaches of climate-growth relationship determination of trees
Pekař, Ondřej ; Treml, Václav (advisor) ; Ponocná, Tereza (referee)
Presented bachelor thesis describes the use of tree-ring widths in dendroclimatology and main approaches of climate variables reconstruction. It reviews the basics about climate influence on tree- ring fromation and extraction of climate signal from tree-rings. Main standartization methods were used to develop 26 standard and residual chronologies from adjusted and not adjusted tree-ring series coming from high-elevation Norway sporuce stands. Chronologies were compared in terms of correlation with summer temperatures. The best correlated temperature variable were the June-July temperatures both for standard and residual chronologies. Tree-ring width chronologies were scaled to observed June-July temperatures. Based on comparison of scaled and real June-July temperatures, negative exponential function and RCS method appear to be the most suitable to preserve both high and low frequency climate signal. Key words: Dendroclimatology, tree-rings chronology, standardization, climate reconstruction
