Koutecký, Vít ; Sakala, Jakub (advisor) ; Gryc, Vladimír (referee) ; Klusek, Marzena (referee)
The present thesis is conceived as a commentary to the attached publications and represents several years of study of the fossil woods from the volcanic rocks of the České středohoří and Doupovské hory Mts. (Paleogene, Czech Republic). A brief introduction to the subject is followed by an overview of the used methods, a short geological setting and the history of fossil wood research in the study area. The results are presented by individual localities, where the description of the locality is followed by a systematic evaluation of the fossil woods. In the studied fossil wood material, there are 3 conifers from 2 families: Glyptostroboxylon rudolphii, Taxodioxylon gypsaceum (both Cupressaceae s.l.) and Pinuxylon parryoides (Pinaceae) and 17 angiosperms from 9 families: Cinnamomoxylon seemanianum (Lauraceae), Platanoxylon bohemicum, Platanoxylon sp. (both Platanaceae), Ulmoxylon marchesonii, Ulmoxylon cf. kersonianum, ?Ulmoxylon sp. (all Ulmaceae), Quercoxylon böckhianum, Castanoxylon bavaricum, Lithocarpoxylon sp. (all Fagaceae), Eucaryoxylon crystallophorum (Juglandaceae), Alnus tschemrylica (Betulaceae), Grewioxylon ortenburgense, cf. Grewioxylon ortenburgense (both Malvaceae s.l.), Paradiospyroxylon kvacekii (Ebenaceae), Fraxinoxylon cf. prambachense (Oleaceae) and two indeterminable samples...

Impact of being evergreen or deciduous on the wood anatomy of the trees in polar regions during the warm geological period : case study from Upper Cretaceous of the James Ross Island (Antarctic Peninsula)
Chernomorets, Oleksandra ; Sakala, Jakub (advisor) ; Gryc, Vladimír (referee)
Global warming and its influence on the environment has become a popular and widespread issue. Nowadays, an analogy of a high latitude ecosystem during the greenhouse type of climate does not exist. The Cretaceous polar ecosystem gave us a unique possibility of understanding these extreme ecosystems and the specific adaptations of organisms to these conditions. Such types of ecosystem are crucial for a better understanding of possible future climate changes. This thesis focusses on the adaptation strategies of land plants during the Late Cretaceous in the Arctic peninsula. The land plants responded to these specific solar conditionals in two different ways: evergreen or deciduous. The fossil material for this study comes from Brandy Bay and Crame Col, James Ross Island, Antarctic. The material was collected in a continuous sequence from Kotic point to Santa Marta Formation (Cenomanian - Companian). A detailed and systematic analysis was performed on five out of fifty-five samples that well represented the studied region and age: Agathoxylon kellerense, Agathoxylon antarcticus, Araucarioxylon chapmanae, Podocarpoxylon multiparenchymatosum and Phoroxylon sp. Based on the detailed study of Agathoxylon kellerense (sample number AN34) wood anatomy and growth rings structure, adaptation strategies were...

Re-evaluation of the published silicified woods from the Třeboň Basin (South Bohemia) and systematical description of new finds
Venclová, Sandra ; Sakala, Jakub (advisor) ; Gryc, Vladimír (referee)
VENCLOVÁ, S. (2018): Kritické zhodnocení popsaných zkřemenělých dřev z třeboňské pánve (jižní Čechy) a zpracování nových nálezů [Re-evaluation of the published silicified woods from the Třeboň Basin (South Bohemia) and systematical description of new finds. Mgr. Thesis, in Czech.] - 92 pp., Faculty of Science, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic. Abstract: In this study sillicified woods were observed from three localities from Třeboň basin. Woods were investigated by thin sections. It was observed one species belonging to Gymnosperms, for now it is determined to taxodioid type conifer. The rest of woods belong to Angiosperms, high probably belonging to genus Paraphyllanthoxylon. By PCA analysis was investigated mutual similarity of the woods within and with related species. Investigated woods can be considered as new species of genus Paraphyllanthoxylon. Stratigraphycal position was not determined. It was discused the affiliation of sillicified woods with Lipnice series. Key words: South Bohemian Basins, Lipnice formation, Paraphyllanthoxylon, sillicified woods

Effect of altitude on intra-annual growth of trees in the treeline ecotone
Kašpar, Jakub ; Treml, Václav (advisor) ; Gryc, Vladimír (referee)
RESUMÉ Tato práce se zabývá vlivem teplotních poměrů na intra-anuální růst smrku ztepitélo (Picea Abies (L.) Karsten) na alpínské hranici lesa v Krkonoších ve vegetačních sezónách 2011 a 2012. Monitoring probíhal na dvou lokalitách na jižním svahu Luční hory. První lokalita se nacházela v nadmořské výšce 1310 m n. m., přibližně na horní hranici zapojeného lesa, druhá pak v nadmořské výšce 1450 m n. m., ve stromových skupinkách nad horní hranicí lesa. Mezi lokalitami byl pozorován poměrně vysoký vertikální teplotní gradient jak u teplot vzduchu (1,2 - 1,7 řC), tak u teplot půdy v hloubce 10 cm (0,8 - 1,2 řC). Teplotní rozdíl mezi lokalitami se pak projevil v nižším pozorovaném přírůstu na výše položené lokalitě. Pozorované počátky kambiální aktivity se pohybovaly od 26. 4. do 21. 5. Začátek kambiální aktivity je ovlivněn množstvím sněhové pokrývky akumulované na lokalitách v průběhu zimy a s tím souvisejícím datem jejího odtátí, teplotami půdy a teplotami v přízemní vrstvě atmosféry. Délka kambiální aktivity se pohybovala mezi 55 - 77 dny, přičemž její délka byla nižší na výše položené lokalitě. Diferenciace buněk nastala bezprostředně po počátku kambiální aktivity a trvala od 111 do 132 dní. V porovnání sledovaných růstových sezón vyšla lépe růstová sezóna 2012, ve které byl průměrný přírůst stromů vyšší na...

Floristic associations of Miocene mires based on fuzite clasts study
Fischlová, Kateřina ; Sakala, Jakub (advisor) ; Gryc, Vladimír (referee)
The thesis presents systematical study and taphonomical evaluation of fusite wood specimens collected in the middle bench of the main lignite seam in the Bilina mine. In the introduction part, there are a general characteristic of the Most Basin and its geological setting with respect to the main lignite seam. Consequently, the charcoal is described in detail. Generally, the charcoaled wood, which was produced during wildfires in the Tertiary forests, shows well preserved anatomical details. The final part resumes systematics and taphonomy of the charcoal specimens collected by the author.
