Using of the tree-ring analysis for dating of large scale dieback of dwarf pine (Pinus mugo) in the Giant Mountains
Kyncl, Tomáš ; Wild, Jan
Abrupt growth depressions and high proportion of missing tree-rings was observed on dwarf pine shrub (Pinus mugo) in Krkonoše, Mts. These symptoms were ascribed to strong defoliation of shrub caused by insect outbreaks and confirmed by observed decrease in shrub cover using historical aerial photographs. The study proved the using of dendrochronological methods for detection of historical inasect outbreaks in dwarf pine shrub stands.
Study of dynamics of natural dwarf pine-grassland mosaic using of spatial explicit
Wild, Jan ; Kyncl, Tomáš
Long-term dynamics of dwarf pine-grassland mosaic in subalpine belt of the Giant Mountains and processes leading to its stable co-existence are studied using computer based spatial explicit model. First results indicate ability of long-term co-existence of dwarf pine-grassland mosaic even without presence of disturbances of dwarf pine stands.
Giant Mountains in Postglacial - vegetation and landscape paleoekologie
Jankovská, Vlasta
Palaeobotanical reconstruction of vegetation and landscape character of the Giant Mts. region in Postglacial.
Water Balance of the Soil Profile of the Headwater Region in the Krkonoše (Giant Mts)
Tesař, Miroslav ; Šír, Miloslav ; Syrovátka, Oldřich ; Dvořák, I.
The present article deals with the soil water regime of the mountainous localities in the Krkonoše (Giants) Mts. (mountainous meadow and dwarf pine forest). Both localities lie at the Labská louka region at the right bank of the Labe river at the elevation of about 1360 m a.s.l. Soil water regime is described by the time course of the soil water storage and outflow of water below the soil profile. The long-term water balance of the soil profile was composed in the form of the cumulative lines of precipitation, evapotranspiration and outflow of water below the soil profile to the substratum. Evapotranspiration was estimated with the help of the energy balance of the plant cover based on the global radiation input and air temperature close to the soil profile. Outflow of water below the soil profile to the substratum was determined using the tensiometric soil moisture monitoring. Soil water storage was recalculated with the use of retention curves from time series of tensiometric data sets. Rainfall totals were measured using the standard rain gauge.
Magnetic susceptibility of peat-bogs as indicator of immissions in Czech and Polish parts of the Giant Mountains
Kapička, Aleš ; Strzyszcz, Z. ; Magiera, T. ; Petrovský, Eduard
Recently, rapid and inexpensive (proxy) methods of outlining areas exposed to increased pollution by atmospheric particulates of industrial origin have been developed by scientists in various fields. One of them, soil magnetometry, seems to be a suitable tool, at least in some cases. This method is based on the knowledge that ferrimagnetic particles are deposited in top soil layers.
Use of magnetic susceptibility of forest soils for imission mapping in the Krkonoše National Park
Kapička, Aleš ; Petrovský, Eduard ; Fialová, Hana ; Podrázský, V.
Deep soil profiles were investigated in the region of the Krkonoše National Park. Magnetic susceptibility, thermomagnetic analysis, acquisition of remanent magnetisation and hysteresis curves were measured in laboratory on samples from individual soil horizons. The uppermost layer, characterized by enhanced value of magnetic susceptibility, can be reliably identified in all profiles.
