The influence of extreme precipitation on washout of potassium and sodium ions from the Liz basin in the period of 2002-2009
Vondrka, A. ; Tesař, Miroslav ; Šír, M.
Extreme rains strongly influence the intensity of leaching of sodium and potassium from the soil cover. The question therefore arises whether it is possible to find some connection between extreme rains and sodium and potassium leaching. During the period of 2002-2009, measurement of rainfall, runoff, and chemical data on catchment Liz (Czech Republic, Bohemian Forest, 828–1074 m a. s. l., mature spruce forest, Podzolic Eutric Cambisol) gave the following conclusions about the washout of potassium and sodium ion from the basin: (1) In monthly periods, extreme loss of both potassium and sodium ions correlated with high precipitation amounts. (2) In annual periods, only extreme loss of sodium ions correlated with high precipitation amounts.

Dynamika půdní vody na Šumavě a v Krkonoších v srpnu 2002
Tesař, Miroslav ; Krejča, M. ; Polívka, Jiří ; Šír, Miloslav
The soil water movement during extreme rain is analysed in the Doupě and Kout catchment (Šumava Mts, Southern Bohemia) and in the Modrý Důl catchment (Krkonoše Mts., Northern Bohemia). Two cyclones, which moved from Hungary to Poland, caused extreme rainfall and subsequent extreme runoff in August, 2002. Precipitation, air and soil temperature, and tensiometric pressure were recorded in catchments. The analysis showed that the huge rain amount in August 2002 exceeded the retention capacity of the catchment covered by mature spruce forest and dwarf pine forest (Modrý Důl), dead forest and herb undergrowth (Kout), clearing covered by herbs (Doupě). It means that the plant cover played a negligible role in the runoff generation. The soil cover was not able to prevent the country from catastrophic runoff because its retention capacity is rather low (60 – 90 mm).
