Flow, chemical and isotopic composition of water in unsaturated zone of the castellated sandstone at Klokočské skály area
Mikuš, Petr ; Bruthans, Jiří (advisor) ; Jiráková, Hana (referee)
The study is focused on character of flow, permeability, mean residence of water, chemical composition of water and chemical fluxes in unsaturated zone of castellated sandstone at Klokočské Skály area. Soil water as well as the water seeping from up to 15 m thick sandstone unsaturated zone consists of mixture of: A) Component with mean residence time 2-4 months (50-75% of mixture) and B) Component with mean residence time exceeding 4 years (25-50% of mixture). In winter the component A is missing in K3 drip place probably because of freezing conditions, which prevent infiltration of the fast component. Sulfates are the most abundant anion in studied waters with chemical flux in sandstone unsaturated zone (SUZ) 7-10 g/m2/year, which exceeds several times the influx from total (wet and dry) atmospheric deposition (1.2 g/m2/year). On the other hand nitrates flux is decreasing with depth (atmospheric deposition 1.7 g/m2/year; flux in SUZ 0.2-0.4 g/m2/year). Aluminum is the most abundant cation in SUZ (average concentration 6.3 mg/l, max. 35 mg/l). Flux of aluminum in SUZ is 2.5 g/m2/year, which is 80 times more that atmospheric deposition. Surprisingly the forest vegetation does not seem to suffer any directly visible damage. Silica is another substance which is intensively leached from SUZ. The most prominent...

Účinek hnojení na eluci živin z půdy
Kučerová, Věra
The focus of the dissertation was on the evaluation of the effect of fertilisation on the elution of nutrients from the soil in various soil and climate conditions. The results were used of long-term stationary experiments conducted at the ÚKZUZ (Institute for Supervising and Testing in Agriculture) by means of lysimeter measurements and monitoring of meteorological data taking into account the respective production region. The trial plots are located in various parts of the Czech Republic therefore we can compare the results of experiments according to the soil-leaching regimes, various degree of fertilisation on arable land etc. Three crop rotations were evaluated (1989 - 1996, 1997 - 2004, 2005 - 2012). The most severe losses caused by washing out were losses of calcium, sulphates and nitrate N. In the case of N and K the balance of nutrients (uptake -- outflow) was in most cases negative with the exception of potato growing. This negative balance is based on the higher outflow (withdrawal by yields + washing-out losses) as compared to the lower input (nutrient uptake from fertilisers + precipitation). The balance was more negative in the BVO (potato growing region) with a soil-leaching phase than in the ŘVO (sugar-beet growing region) where the soil-leaching regime was periodic. Adequate and harmonic fertilisation is the prerequisite for a balance of nutrients respecting the actual yields.
