The vegetation succession of abandoned villages in České středohoří Mts.
Staňková, Markéta ; Novák, Jan (advisor) ; Prach, Martin (referee)
The České středohoří mts. is a mountain range with an interesting geological history and rich history of the 20th century. The mountain range is of volcanic origin, and despite the relatively steep hills and high altitude, it was densely populated. The population of this territory was mainly of German origin, German-speaking and the territory was part of the so-called Sudetenland. After the World War II, the German population was displaced, and a large part of the villages disappeared despite efforts of repopulation. The landscape used to form a mosaic which is now disappearing. In the areas of the former Sudetenland, the expansion of secondary forests at the expense of original fields and meadows is a common condition, as in other places in Europe or North America. Secondary succession is a phenomenon that is influenced by several factors, such as soil moisture, nutrient content or degree of shading. Thanks to the higher pH of the subsoil and the higher nutrient content, the villages have more ruderal and nitrophilous species than the surrounding ancient/continual forests. The historical way of farming has a significant influence on the landscape, and the question is to what extent this influence is irreversible. This bachelor's thesis is a literary research about successional vegetation of...

Crystal and molecular structure study of garnets from selected localities of the České středohoří Mts.
Píšová, Barbora ; Skála, Roman (advisor) ; Laufek, František (referee)
Major and minor element contents of garnets from mantle peridotites and eclogites brought to the surface by volcanic rocks of the České středohoří Mts. were determined by an electron probe microanalyzer. Garnets are homogenous and their chemical composition corresponds to solid solution containing 65-71 % pyrope, other end members significantly present are almandine, uvarovite and grosulare. This method also help to discover polyphase inclusions chemically corresponding to amphiboles (pargasite, cummingtonite, magnesio-hornblende and katophorite). Next to amphiboles following minerals were found in inclusions: omphacite, carbonates, phlogopite, clinochlore, olivine, apatite, spinel group minerals, and sulfidic phases potentially close to pentlandite. Samples were also analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction. Qualitative phase analysis confirmed pyrope homogeneity. The refinement of crystal structure parameters was performed by the Rietveld method. Raman microspectroscopy showed shifts of individual bands in the Raman spectra compared to those of pure pyrope. Position of bands in spectra differs due to the substitution of Ca for Mg at the dodecahedral sites of the structure. Mutual positive correlations among elements Cr, Ca, Mg, Al, Si, Mn, Ti and Na were observed. Correlations were found also between...

Crystal chemistry of micas from České středohoří
Goll, Jan ; Skála, Roman (advisor) ; Ulrych, Jaromír (referee)
Six methods have been used to study micas from České středohoří mts.: X-ray difractometry (transmission and reflection), ICP MS, electron microprobe, Mössbauer spectroscopy and termogravimetry. The measurements of trace elements and REE's revealed very low tendency by normalization on chondrite reservoir and primitive mantle. Micas show high contents of TiO2 (9,47 wt.%) and BaO (up to 2,1 wt.%) in separated grains from rock. The micas classifications were determined by Tischendorf (2007) and Rieder (1998) as Fe-phlogopites. X-ray powder diffraction revealed cell dimensions and a common polytype 1M with space group C2/m. By Mössbauer spectroscopy have been studied the rates of Fe2+ /Fe3+ and they were 1,08 - 1,86 (except rock sample, which were 9:1). Termogravimetrical measurement until 1450řC revealed weight jump from 1120řC to 1270řC.

Development of cultural landscape in the western part of the České středohoří Mts.
Kyselka, Jan ; Lipský, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Skaloš, Jan (referee)
The main aim of this thesis is assessment of land use changes from half of the 19th century to present in the western part of the České středohoří Mts. Changes in land use categories proportion, development of ecological stability of landscape, development of land use diversity and influence of physical-geographic conditions on land use changes were assessed. The second aim is assessment of abandoned land occurrence in the area. All abandoned lands were mapped and then relationship between abandoned lands occurrence and physical-geographic conditions was assessed. Key words: landscape development, land use, abandoned lands, old maps, České středohoří Mts.

Petrology of differentiated alkaline, high-level intrusive bodies in the Zahořany - Chotiněves belt
Mysliveček, Jakub ; Verner, Kryštof (advisor) ; Erban, Vojtěch (referee)
The aim of the work was petrological research focused on alkaline volcanic bodies in line between villages Zahořany - Chotiněves near Litoměřice. Part of the area is covered by Tertiary volcanism products, which affected large parts of Europe and in our territory extends in the form of extensional structure of Ohře rift. The Field of studied objects is located nearby the southern edge of České středohoří vulcanic complex and the northern edge of the Central Volcanic Field. The question was whether studied area belongs, if it's still České středohoří volcanic complex or it belongs to Central Bohemian volcanic field. The area was visited several times for determinate the volcanic bodies and have been identified six localities which were collected rock samples for geochemical analysis and Probe Micro Analysis. Also, the detailed mapping of the bodies and their spatial extensions was performed because currently available geological map of 1: 50 000 do not correspond to reality. The area is situated close to Litoměřice break, which probably caused the linear distribution of magma in the direction of fracture, approximately NE - SW. Studied rocks by the classification TAS are classified as basaltic trachyandesites and are mainly composed by plagioclase, clinopyroxene, magnetite and to a small extent from biotite...

Crystal chemistry of micas from České středohoří
Goll, Jan ; Skála, Roman (advisor) ; Rieder, Milan (referee)
Micas from České středohoří mts. have been studied by X-ray difractometry, ICP-MS and electron microprobe. The measurements of trace elements and REEs revealed very low tendency by normalization of chondrite reservoir and primitive mantle. The micas classifications were determined by Tischendorf (2007) and Rieder (1998) as Fe- or Fe-Ti phlogopites. The abundances of Ti are very high up to 0,46 (a.p.f.u.). X-ray powder diffraction revealed double layered polytype 2M1 with space group C/2c.
