Pedotransfer functions for estimation of moisture retention curves of medium-heavy soils of South Moravia
Gavlasová, Iva ; Doležal, Petr (referee) ; Kameníčková, Ivana (advisor)
The most important characteristics of each soil is its hydro-physical properties, which include retention curve. Retention curve expresses the relationship between humidity and pressure head. It is course affected by many factors such as grain size and mineralogical composition, humus content, structure and bulk density of dry soil. This thesis deals with direct and indirect determination of one of the basic hydraulic characteristics of the soil, soil moisture retention curve. For laboratory determination of moisture retention curves were used for sand tank and pressure instruments. Measured body retention curves were optimized RETC program.For indirect determination of retention curves were used Pedotransfer function by Wösten et . al .(1998 ) , derived from the European soils and under HYPRES Šútora and Štekauerová (2000). As in the project Wösten et al . (1998), PTF were processed for arable land in the area. The accuracy of both models PTF was assessed by the correlation coefficient R and standard error RMSE. Simple models PTF provide estimates of retention curves with sufficient accuracy for practical use in the locality.

IoT system for gardening
Mlčák, Petr ; Kiac, Martin (referee) ; Caha, Tomáš (advisor)
The thesis deals with the design and creation of a weather station suitable for gardeners. The created device is able to measure temperature, pressure, humidity, amount of precipitation, wind speed and direction, UV index and also temperature and soil moisture at several depths. The weather station is powered by a battery with auxiliary charging from a photovoltaic panel. The thesis is divided into several parts. The theoretical part describes the individual physical principles of measurement of the considered physical quantities. Subsequently, a comparison of available sensors is made and then a final selection is made. The third part deals with the design and implementation of the hardware circuitry including the creation of the PCB. In this section, the holders of each sensor are also designed for printing on a 3D printer, which are then printed. The fourth section deals with software design issues, which is described in more detail. Finally, the whole weather station is assembled, wired and the functionality of all components is verified by sending the measured data to Thingspeak.

Analysis of selected variations of the gravity due to the mass dynamics
Volařík, Tomáš ; Lederer,, Martin (referee) ; Vatrt, Viliam (referee) ; Mojzeš,, Marcel (referee) ; Weigel, Josef (advisor)
This dissertation is focused on a study of selected environmental effects influencing terrestrial gravity observations. Global geopotential models were used to compute quantities of the disturbing gravity field and its variations during time period. Furthermore, analyses of an atmospherical and hydrological effects on the gravity observations were provided. The computation was realized at the station Pecný, however the concept was proved and compared with data from station Strasbourg. Consequently, the results were discussed with respect to quasigeoid modelling established from gravity and astrogeodetic measurements. The result and recommendations for future research are exposed.

Vliv konstrukce odhrnovaček na odpor pluhu
Opluštil, Adam
In the theoretical part, the construction of soil preparing machines is discussed, in particular the construction of ploughs is described and the construction of machines for minimizing soil preparing is also described. The practical part dealt with the investigation of two types of plough mouldboards. The first type of design is the standard mouldboard and the second type is the slatted mouldboard. The content of the work was, among other things, to determine which type of construction exerts more resistance on the whole plough. Pöttinger SERVO 45 M PLUS and SERVO 45 M PLUS NOVA ploughs were used for the measurements. Both ploughs were 4-radial reversible so that the results could be compared. A Zetor Forterra 150 HD tractor with a power of 95 kW (129,2 hp) was used as the tractive power source. The field measurement, which took place from 9 August to 11 August 2021, took place in the municipality of Sebranice u Skalice nad Svitavou. The approximately 10 ha of land where the measurements were carried out consisted of brown earth with a humus content of 2,5 %. Furthermore, measuring sections of 50 m length were marked out. During the measurements, data were collected on: time taken to pass the measuring sections, pulling power, fuel consumption, soil compaction and plough depth and width. Fuel consumption was measured with mass flow meters. To measure the specific resistance of the plough, the plough system was pulled by a second tractor. The tractor was a John Deere 8330 tractor with a power of 254 kW (330 hp). The connection between the two tractors was provided by a rope with an embedded Hottinger strain gauge force transducer that was placed in the hitch of the pulling tractor. The condition for calculating the plough resistance was to find the rolling resistance out, which was then subtracted from the tractive force. The results indicated that the average percentage difference between the specific resistances of the ploughs was almost 4,7 % with the standard mouldboard (68.47 kPa) having a higher specific resistance than the slatted mouldboard (65.40 kPa). This suggests that in heavier soils it is economically more advantageous to use a plough with a slatted mouldboard, which has less resistance.

Time variabilty of soil hydraulic properties and their impact on soil moisture estimation
Šípek, Václav ; Vlček, Lukáš ; Tesař, Miroslav ; Zelíková, Nikol ; Hnilica, Jan
The study was focused on the temporal variability of saturated hydraulic conductivity in an experimental plot covered by spruce forest and investigated benefits of its incorporation into soil water balance model. The results showed that the higher saturated hydraulic conductivity (33.6-44.8 cm hr-1) was observed in summer period compared to lower values (13.2-22.3 cm hr-1) in the winter period. The use of seasonally variabile saturated hydraulic conductivity improved the efficiency of soil water balance model in terms of lower root mean square error between observed and simulated volumetric soil water content by 33.2 %. The Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient rose from 0.34 to 0.68.

Hodnocení výsledků portálu intersucho.cz externími zpravodaji
Balcárková, Lucie
Bachelor thesis Evaluation of the results of intersucho.cz by external reporters analyses data from an online questionnaire available on intersucho.cz, where external reporters subjectively assess by marks whether the water balance in the soil according to the SoilClim model corresponds with reality in their region - district. The comparison of the districts was made on the basis of established criteria - for districts with more than 100 assessments per year, the objectivity coefficient is calculated by which the 4 worst- performing and the 4 best-performing districts are selected on the basis of the annual evaluation. The development of the assessment is analysed in more detail in selected districts. Based on the analyses performed, no demonstrable change in the assessment of model outputs by external reporters has been observed since the introduction of the new version of the water balance model SoilClim II. However, the overall improvement in the assessment in the previous year, 2021, which is the best-performing year since the introduction of the questionnaire investigation, is demonstrable.

Effect of different water regime on microorganisms of nitrogen cycle in permafrost
TURKOVÁ, Sára
The gene abundances and community structures of nitrogen-fixing and denitrifying bacteria in permafrost-affected soils with different moisture level were analysed. Additionally, DNA- and RNA-based analysis was used to evaluate the variations in gene copy numbers and community composition between the total and active bacteria. The gene abundances of nitrogen-fixing and denitrifying bacteria were quantified by qPCR of the nifH and nosZ genes, and the gene copy numbers were compared between the soils with different moisture. Furthermore, the bacterial community structure variation was evaluated by analysis of the taxonomic classification obtained from sequencing data.
