Composting of sewage sludge of small producers
Pumprlová Němcová, Miroslava ; Hynánková,, Eva (referee) ; Kriška-Dunajský, Michal (advisor)
This thesis deals with the composting of sewage sludge and wetland plants biomass wasted from treatment wetlands. The introductory part of this thesis is the literature research of technical information from authors who deal with the topic of sewage sludge and composting. The introductory part provides basic information about the issue compost and composting. The theoretical part of this thesis is followed by the practical part. The practical part is divided into two research projects. The first one is focuses on methodology of building compost from waste materials such as sewage sludge and wetland plants biomass. The second one deals with the testing and usability soil moisture sensors mostly used to monitoring of the compost humidity. The research work is focused on soil moisture sensors calibration. The measurement results will be statistically analyzed and used for further work with soil sensors of compost. Results of the work can serve materials for operators and owners of treatment wetlands. This solution would lead to a significant reduction of operating costs when is considered sludge management.

Vliv různého způsobu zpracování půdy na obsah vody v půdě
Mazel, Petr
The thesis deals with the effect of different tillage on the water content in the soil. The theoretical part is devoted to soil, soil properties, characteristics of soil tillage and the effects of soil tillage on soil properties. Monitoring of the effects of tillage on soil moisture was carried out in plot experiments at the Žabčice Field Experiment Station of the Mendel University in Brno. The experiment took place in 2022 and 3 tillage variants were monitored (traditional tillage, minimization tillage and no-tillage). For the assessment of soil moisture were determined: mass moisture, volume moisture, relative humidity and soil absorbency. Soil samples were taken on plots with winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) at three depths (0-10 cm, 10-20 cm, 20-30 cm). For mass moisture was statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) demonstrated between tillage variants, and the highest moisture was achieved with traditional tillage of 17.11%. For volume moisture were not found statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) between the tillage variants. For relative humidity were statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) achieved between treatment variants with the highest value in the no-till variant of 53.03%. A statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) was found for soil absorbency between traditional and minimization tillage, and the highest absorbency was achieved after traditional tillage of 38.75%.

Permeability of sandstone surfaces and water flow in shallow zone of ruiniform sandstone landscape
Sysel, Ondřej ; Slavík, Martin (advisor) ; Tesař, Miroslav (referee)
Water in porous rocks (e.g. sandstone) plays a fundamental role in their disintegration. However, the places where water enters the sandstone rocks are somewhat overlooked. At two sites in the Český ráj region, I use Karsten tube to measure capillary water absorption (CWA) of natural sandstone exposures and, using TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) method, I study movement of water in a shallow zone of ruiniform sandstone landscape. The CWA differed up to four orders of magnitude at a distance of tens of meters, mostly depending on the type of the surface. The highest CWA was measured at highly weathered surfaces, the second most absorbent were less weathered surfaces covered with a biologically-initiated rock crust. The horizontal surfaces on the tops of the rock formations were even less absorbent, probably due to clogging by fine particles from soil. Surfaces covered with iron crust were the least absorbent. The differences between those surfaces are significant. After simulated infiltration, the maximum rate of the propagation of the wet front in the sandstone was from 5,5.10-6 do 1,9.10-4 m.s-1 measured by TDR. The water propagated at this rate only to a certain depth (the first tens of cm), but then the propagation stopped or slowed down rapidly. From a long-term measurement of volumetric...

Vliv různých způsobů zpracování půdy na obsah vody v půdě
Bednář, Václav
This thesis deals with soil tillage and its effect on volume and mass moisture of soil. Theoretical part therefore contains information about soil and its properties that affect soil humidity, information about importance of water and water dynamics and characteristic of basic soil treatment operations. Practical part is based on parcel field trial realized at the experimental field station of Mendel University in Žabčice during years 2015, 2016 and 2017. Two basic variants of soil tillage were established: moldboard plowing and reduce tillage to a depth of 15 cm. These two variants of tillage were applied to two types of crop rotation: Norfolk crop rotation system and repetition of monoculture of spring barley. The soil samples were always taken in the barley in two terms: BBCH 30 and BBCH 61 in five depth of the soil profile up to 30 cm. In direct comparsion of tillage variants there was no statistically significant diference. Slightly higher values were measured in plowing variant, especialy in 2016. In the first term of soil sampling had plowing variant significantly higher (p <0,05) volume moisture 15,70 % compared to minimization 14,63 %. In second term had minimization higher volume moisture 10,13 % than plowing variant 10,01 %. When compared individual depths of soil sampling, the lowest moisture content was detected in depth 0–5 cm. There was also difference between tillage variants. Values of mass moisture of minimization variant was 12,87 % and plowing variant 15,78 %. Moisture differences depending on soil tillage and crop rotation was not statistically significant. Mass moisture in barely monoculture was higher in minimization 17,18 % than plowing variant 16,94 %. In norfolk crop rotation system was higher mass moisture 17,16 % in plowing variant compared with minimization 16,50 %.

Moisture characteristics of natural sandstone exposures
Slavík, Martin ; Bruthans, Jiří (advisor) ; Tesař, Miroslav (referee) ; Sněhota, Michal (referee)
Moisture in a sandstone body plays a notable role in hydrological, weathering, biological and other processes. Knowledge about presence and movement of moisture within porous medium of natural sandstone exposures is, however, rather limited. Aim of the doctoral thesis was thus to quantify selected moisture characteristics of several natural sandstone exposures in Český ráj (Czech Republic). According to long-term logging, mean annual temperature at studied areas was between 8.5 řC to 11.5 řC, mean annual relative humidity was between 73 % to 85 %. Deforested area was found warmer and drier and amplitude of the values was higher there than at the forested areas. Values of water content (more than 400 measurements) and suction (more than 150 measurements) of the exposures including their spatial-temporal changes were obtained. Mean volumetric water content in zone from the sandstone's surface to 12 cm depth was from 3 % to 10 % and mean suction in depth 2-12 cm was from 2 kPa to more than 130 kPa. Using uranine powder coloring, spatial distribution of moisture near the sandstone's surface was visualized repeatedly for the first time. The coloring divided the surficial area of the sandstone into capillary (wet) and diffusion (dry) zone. The sharp transition between the two zones was represented by...
