Using the Erosion Potential Method in the Czech Republic
Hloušek, Jakub ; Larišová, Lucie (referee) ; Dumbrovský, Miroslav (advisor)
The aim of this thesis was the evaluation of the loss of soil for the area of interest, located in the north-western part of the Němčického basin, in the district of Blansko. The calculation was made using two methods, namely erosion potential method (EPM), commonly used in Serbia and the Wischmeier-Smith universal soil loss equation (USLE), used in Czech Republic. Finally, both of these methods were compared with each other. Both methods use a different method of calculation. USLE method utilizes the universal equation for calculating the long-term average soil loss per year (G), the EPM method utilizes equation for specific average annual soil loss (Wsp, Wy). The calculation was performed with both methods in program ArcGIS while the USLE method was also supplemented with calculation of the factor (LS) with USLE2D program. When comparing the soil loss each of evaluated areas, the EPM achieved higher values of soil loss in the most of them. In contrast to the USLE method, the EPM the total loss of the soil from the evaluated areas also accounted the soil loss from forest areas. In terms of accuracy of the achieved real world results, it was determined that the conditions in the Czech Republic are more suitable for the USLE method and not only due to more accurate data input, but also because with EPM there is no factor that would better reflect the topographic factor and conditions of surface runoff in the territory.

Evaluation of erosion and runoff conditions in context with the agroforestry systems design
Vaňousová, Martina ; Skřivanová, Zuzana (referee) ; Sobotková, Veronika (advisor)
The diploma thesis generally deals with the emergence of water and wind erosion, its conseque-nces and the possibilities of how to prevent or limit erosion, with various anti-erosion measures. More specifically, it focuses on agroforestry systems (ALS), their origin, importance and appro-priate use in the landscape. To investigate the effects of ALS, an agricultural area near the village of Modřec was selected, on which ALS variants in various variations were designed using compu-ter programs. The main quantity investigated and compared was the average long-term soil loss by water erosion under different variants of the ALS design.

Identification and measurement of rill erosion in the farm landscape
Vaňousová, Martina ; Larišová,, Lucie (referee) ; Sobotková, Veronika (advisor)
Due to water erosion, there is a loss of soil, reduced fertility, soil prices, increased costs in ag-riculture and water management due to clogging of watercourses and reservoirs and affecting the quality of water resources, threats to urban and infrastructure. One form of water erosion is gully erosion. Three erosion gullies were selected in the bachelor thesis. Their areas of interest and the methods used were described. In the case of erosion gully, their axes and transverse profiles were measured using soil erosion bridge. Volumes of eroded soil were obtained by eva-luating photographs taken with a camera from soil erosion bridge. The results show that from the erosion gully in the Embassy Ústí with a total length of 206.5 m, an average width of 2.8 m and a catchment area of 2.6 ha, soil with a total volume of 69 t was removed. In the Ostrov Em-bassy, the total soil loss from the 201 m long erosion gully with an average width of 1.8 m and a catchment area of 1 ha was set at 45.4 t. In the Embassy of the Sebranice, the total volume of soil removal from the erosion gully 217 m long, average width 2.3 m and the catchment area 9.8 ha was determined to be 45.2 t. Soil samples were taken near the erosion gullies – it was deter-mined bulk density and grain size curves.

The influence of landscape changes on erosion and runoff
Uhrová, Jana ; Toman,, František (referee) ; Váchal,, JAN (referee) ; Dumbrovský, Miroslav (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the influence of land use changes on erosion and runoff conditions. For the purpose of the evaluation, two catchments with different areas and pedological characteristics were selected (the catchment of the river Luha and the catchment of the Hubenov reservoir). In these catchments, a comparison of 26 selected land covers was conducted. The individual land covers were evaluated first in four seasons of the 1950s and 1990s, second according to the today's status of landscape by means of a detailed yearly evaluation conducted between 2002 and 2013, and third according to a land cover conceptual design. Analyses of not only land cover, but also geomorphological, pedological and hydrological conditions were carried out for both of the catchments by means of geographic information system (GIS) tools. The quantification of soil loss was performed by means of two methods – the method USLE with the use of ArcGIS program and the soil loss model WEPP. The crucial factor of the runoff evaluation of the preset end profiles with respect to the formation of concentrated runoffs and their catchment areas was the hydrological model DesQ-MAXQ. The selected land cover scenarios of the river Luha were then exposed to the conditions of a real rainfall that occurred in 2009 and that resulted in floods in the area. Furthermore, a rainfall-runoff model was created for this catchment area in HEC-HMS; the land cover scenarios were again subjected to the above-mentioned real rainfall. The land use changes of the catchment area of the reservoir Hubenov were assessed also with respect to the concentration of substances in the profiles studied.

Evaluation impact of the landscape structures on erosion and runoff conditions in given catchment area
Švandová, Tereza ; Sobotková, Veronika (referee) ; Dumbrovský, Miroslav (advisor)
The aim of this Thesis is to determine the impact of landscape change and erosion in given watershed. This case is evaluating Kamenec cadastral area. Changes in crops and spatial distribution of the fields are evaluated first in 1954, when the monitored area was without agricultural cooperative farms and land was used in a smal land parcels. This was compared to the evaluation in 2015 when land was part of agricultural cooperatives and was used in large units. The changes in landscape and its use were imense. Land exploatation, heavy machinery and non conservation cultivation led to its soil compaction and deterioration of the K factor.To evaluate soil losses I used a method USLE and program ArcGIS
