The Representation of Šumava in the works of Karel Klostermann
Wunderlin, Katja ; Vučka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Stárková, Zuzana (referee)
This work deals with the fate of selected places or villages in which the stories of Karel Klostermanns literary works take place. Klostermann was an important writer of the 19th century, who dealt with the lives and the residents of Šumava in his literary works. The plot of his novels and short stories take place in different localities of Šumava. Šumava is a place that was populated predominantly with a German-speaking population in this time. In 1945 this population was forced to leave the region. The goal of my work is to show the reality of the former time in the literary work of Karel Klostermann. The focus is on selected locations and their fate up to the present. As a basis for this analysis are two selected novels from Karel Klostermann: V ráji šumavském, Ze světa lesních samot. Keywords: Karel Klostermann, V ráji šumavském, Ze světa lesních samot, Šumava, Bohemian Forest, localities, fate, Březník, Kvilda, Horská Kvilda, Bučina, Knížecí Pláně

Fossil associations of the Dobrotivá Formation
Luptáková, Monika ; Kraft, Petr (advisor) ; Mergl, Michal (referee)
The bachelor thesis is focused on the overview about a fundamental knowledge on the fossil associations of the Dobrotivá Formation. This unit represents a distinct level of the Prague Basin volcano-sedimentary infill formed during the boundary interval of the Middle and Upper Ordovician. Its main part is composed of the acquired and published data in the wider context of the neighboring paleocontinents and areas of peri-Gondwana. The thesis briefly describes the development of the Prague Basin and its paleogeography. It summarizes the lithology of the Dobrotivá Formation, its stratigraphic classification and the recently published knowledge on faunal associations in the Dobrotivá Formation, including their paleobiogeography and paleoecology. The bachelor thesis is considered to be a basis for further study of the Dobrotivá Formation. Key words: Ordovician, Prague Basin, assemblages, localities, stratigraphy, paleobiogeography

Dynamics of orchid occurrence in South Bohemia
Kosánová, Kristina ; Kindlmann, Pavel (advisor) ; Křenová, Zdeňka (referee)
Orchids are an endangered group of plants, protected both in the Czech Republic and in the whole world. Questions of their protection are therefore lively discussed, but not all factors, affecting their presence, are known so far. The purpose of this work was to find out, which environmental factors influence the existence of certain orchid species at their localities in the selected area. This is important for better protection of orchids, because only by knowing these factors we can find new sites, or improve management plans of the existing ones. Another purpose of this work was to find out what is the main reason for extinction of orchids at their historical localities and whether or not there is a possibility of finding other, yet unknown localities of these species. This thesis is based on data from databases, which were also updated during the data collection. The data were processed by computer software MaxEnt, which produces species distribution models and allows to predict potential occurrence of orchids even at yet unknown localities. This software also analyses the environmental factors affecting species presence. I found that the main reason of extinction of orchids at their historical localities was overgrowing. Main environmental factors affecting orchid occurrence were analysed for...

Dynamics of orchid occurrence in lowlands
Štěpán, Jakub ; Kindlmann, Pavel (advisor) ; Křenová, Zdeňka (referee)
This thesis is about plants from the orchid family growing in 9 squares determined by KFME method with focus on the Nymburk region. This thesis describes a lowland area and its biotopes where these species can be found, including the most prominent threatening factors. Based on historical and currently available data I am actively verifying habitats with reported occurrence and by doing so I hope to create an up-to-date database of these taxa. By comparison of current state of orchid occurrence with historic data I will be able to tell more accurately the dynamics of individual populations, reasons for their decrease and suggest precautions for more efficient protection and support of these rare and endangered plant species.

Distribution of quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill.) and common medlar (Mespilus germanica L.) in the Czech Republic: the first approach
VEJBOROVÁ, Tereza
Quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill.) and medlar (Mespilus germanica L.) are not indigenous species in the Czech Republic. However, both taxa are cultivated there for a long time. Quince probably originates from Iraq, Caucasus, Asia Minor and partly from Arabian Peninsula. Medlar is probably native in south-east Europe and Armenia, probably from other parts of Caucasus and north Iraq, too. Both species have uncommon fruit. The aim of the Bachelor Thesis was to create a list of localities of quince and medlar which have been known in the Czech Republic so far. It was based on written documents and herbarium specimens from several public herbaria. I found 145 and 106 localities for quince and medlar, respectivelly. In addition, 8 new findings for quince and 3 for medlar are reported. They are all based on field work including data stated by other persons.

Prostorová strukturace vnímání a vědomí regionálních a lokálních identit: analýza a kartografická reprezentace pomocí metod mentálního mapování (teoretický a metodologický úvod)
Frantál, Bohumil
The project following transdisciplinary approach comprising geographical, sociological and environmental-psychological view of the issue is about to be theoretically and empirically concerned with a question of subjective perception and construction of space and creation of territorially tied collective identities. Using the method of mental mapping and other behavioural-geographical, sociological and psychosemantic methods a spatial structure of awareness of local and regional identities, preferences, values and attitudes will be investigated. The factors affecting creation of subjective sense of places and relations (identifications) with places will be analysed and classified. The main result should be a set of mental maps (cartographic syntheses) delimiting and representing a model area (region) at different spatial hierarchical levels based on selected aspects, characteristics and subjective criteria.
