Inventory of woody plants in Libosad in CULS area in Prague and elaboration of the digital map of this area
Rezková, Kristýna ; Kunt, Miroslav (advisor) ; Prokeš, Radek (referee)
This bachelor degree work consists of two parts. Its literary research deals with the analysis of various irreplaceable tasks of green vegetation in urban environment, specific features of planting greenery and taking care of it, typifying of green areas in settled places and, last but not least, the importance of its legal protection. The following part of the research deals with Libosad in the campus of the Czech University of Agriculture in Prague. It describes the geological, geomorphological, pedological and climatic conditions of the site and the history of the birth of Libosad. It also describes the methodology by Professor Machovec which was used for data gathering in the Libosad park of the Czech University of Agriculture.
The practical part of the work deals with re-inventory of woody plants and perennials in the Libosad of the CUA. The work was based on inventories which had been realized in previous years. The methodology by Professor Machovec was used to take the measurements of deciduous trees, bushes, coniferous woody plants and perennials. All the data were registered in inventory tables and all items were recorded in the file of CAD programme. The data output provides three documents: the map of Libosad with all the plants recorded in it and equipped with a special code for each item, an inventory map with graphic representation of the items´ value in landscape gardening and treetops´ projections, and the map of landmarks of Libosad. All the research was also documented by photos which were later inserted into an interactive table on the web mapserver with public access.
The flora of Libosad includes 2,045 items in 78 families. The total of 137 deciduous trees (23 genera), 643 items of deciduous bushes (83 genera), 863 items of coniferous woody plants (23 genera) and 398 perennials and grasses (109 genera) can be found in the place. The most numerous genus among deciduous trees is the Acer with 34 items, deciduous bushes are represented by the genus Rosa with 54 items, number one among coniferous trees and bushes being the genus Pinus (164 items).
Owing to the juvenile stage of the major part of the collection, the condition of the park is very good. The majority of items are of class III value in landscape gardening (1188 items), followed by class II (319 items), class IV (82 items) and class I (52 items).

Reinventory of woody plants in Libosad CULS area
Dvořáková, Pavlína ; Kunt, Miroslav (advisor) ; Broscheová, Lucie (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with an inventory and reinventory of woody plants in Libosad on Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague campus. One part of the inventory is entering woody plants inventoried in the digitized maps in AutoCad and create tables. Another part of my work is a photo documentation of the trees and also downloading the photos on mapserver.cz.
The literature review discusses the green vegetation, its functions and importance, compares the differences between botanical gardens, arboretum and school gardens. In the part, dealing with materials and methods, is written about the Czech University of Life Sciences campus and Libosad, its history and natural conditions. There is also described the method of woody plants inventory according to Machovec (1982), which was selected in my own reinventory.
Data for the updating inventory maps and tables were obtained by older students. Firstly, it was necessary to update plan of the areas in the places where changes were done. Secondly, were inventoryed newly planted trees and shrubs, that were included to map and tables. Finally, was done the control of the overall conditions of the area, compared with map's data, ie. removing the dead trees from the map, checking inventory data, especially about fast-growing trees, dominant trees, trees with considerably good or conversely poor health.
The results show that currently in the arboretum Libosad located 1505 peaces of inventoried trees, shurbs and groups of woody plants and 349 groups of perennial vegetation. The number of taxa is about 1000 species of woody plants and their cultivars and 300 varieties and cultivars of perennials and grasses. In total, in the arboretum is 350 woody plants species represented in 105 genera. In landscape value of the trees and shurbs condition dominates the 3rd classification group, then 2, 4 and 1.

Assesment of the recent estate of "Libosad" in CULS area and conception of its future utilization
Holmanová, Simona ; Kunt, Miroslav (advisor) ; Martin, Martin (referee)
The aim of the diploma thesis was to conduct an assessment of the current condition of the Libosad within the complex of the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, and to create a concept of its future utilization. I chose this topic in relation to my bachelor thesis which dealt with re-inventorying of trees in the Libosad.
Based on the underlying data of the re-inventory, which are attached to this thesis,
and the inventories carried out during the years of 2010 to 2015, the project of its future utilization was compiled. Within the selected area, there are 7,715 individual items, while 1,115 of them are of a fruity character with the possibility of alternative uses (14%). Among the fruit trees, the Prunus genus is the more frequent with 15 items (65%), the genus
of Sorbus is represented by 3 items (13 %) and Malus by 2 items (9 %). Among the fruit deciduous shrubs, the complex mainly contains the bushes of the Rosa genus (237 items), then there is also a lot of bushes of the Chaenomeles (86 items) and Hippophae genera
(66 items). Moreover, there are also conifers with edible fruit, namely the species of Taxus baccata with 164 trees (64 %) and Juniperus communis with 92 trees (36 %).
The main vision of this project was to create an educational trail focusing on fruit trees with edible fruits. The goal of the proposal was to raise awareness of well-known as well as unknown wood species, and to point out their medicinal effects and manners of use. Such step should also increase traffic and awareness of the university arboretum. The concept
of the future utilization also includes a recommended list of the planting with edible fruits. In the case of 93 items of fruit trees to be planted, there would be an increase in the total amount
by 2 %.
When designing the educational trail, the matters would have to be addressed in great detail. A satisfactory company, which would ensure the delivery and installation
of educational panels, and a suitable supplier of specific tree species for the additional planting would both have to be chosen. In the final phase, 18 educational boards
with authentic line drawings and relevant texts were created, while also the route
of the educational trail was marked on the map. The economic balance was compiled
for the purposes of the implementation of the trail named Educational Trail: Perceive
the beauty with all senses and identify your fruit tree.
Within the thesis, a few charts were drafted to evaluate the current condition
of the vegetation from various points of view. Inventory tables, created in the Microsoft Excel program, form an integral part of the thesis. The diploma thesis also contains a map
of the educational trail and a map of the current condition of the trees, created
in the AutoCAD program, which are part of the thesis text and may be found on the enclosed CD. It also includes photographs on the website of mapserver.
