Časové změny vlivu vegetačního krytu na místní klima intravilánu obce pomocí metod dálkového průzkumu Země
NÁROVEC, Václav
The diploma thesis deals with changes in vegetation indices and surface temperatures of previously undeveloped peripheral areas of České Budějovice and its immediate surroundings, which were built up after 1990. Areas that were undeveloped before 1990 and spread over either permanent grassland or arable land with agricultural crops. These areas are divided into four types - industrial areas, service areas, residential areas of multiapartment houses and residential areas of solitary family houses. The work uses Landsat satellite images for the years 1990, 1993, 1999, 2006, 2010, 2015 and 2020. The studied areas were examined in the period before construction, just after construction and with a distance after construction. In the period before the transformation (1990), there were high values of vegetation indices NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), SAVI (Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index) a NDMI (Normalized Difference Moisture Index) and low values of surface temperatures in most of the studied areas. However, during the construction, the vegetation decreased and thus the values of vegetation indices decreased and the surface temperatures increased. Subsequent improvements were observed in areas with multi-apartment and family houses, where the vegetation of parks and residential gardens grew after a certain time. In the vicinity of the industrial area and service areas, where vegetation did not grow, the values of the monitored indices remained low.

Spontaneous succession and its role in vegetation recovery of post mining sites and other disturbed areas
Dobešová, Alena ; Frouz, Jan (advisor) ; Mudrák, Ondřej (referee)
Ecosystem restoration is vitally important, to return ecosystem in acceptable stage after anthropogenic disturbance. Spontaneous succession when disturbed area spontaneously recovers over time can be also considered as restoration method. This will restore vegetation cover, the interactions between biotic and abiotic components of the ecosystem, energy transfer, nutrient cycling and other important functions. In this thesis, I examined the influence of environmental variables on the cover of vegetation during succession. It was a mean annual temperature, mean annual precipitation, pH and soil types. The optimal course of succession appears to be a large increase of coverage at an early stage and its basically unchanged trend in other stages of succession. This was achived with an average annula temperature of 7řC, with an annual rainfall of 900 mm at pH 5 and the light and heavy soils. Key words: spontaneous succession, vegetation recovery, vegetation cover, disturbed areas

Weathering of arsenopyrite in soils in acidified environment
Soukupová, Lenka ; Mihaljevič, Martin (advisor) ; Drahota, Petr (referee)
Lenka Soukupová, Zvětrávání arsenopyritu v lesních půdách v acidifikovaném prostředí SUMMARY The weathering of arsenopyrite (FeAsS) has been studied at the experimental site Načetín in the Ore Mountains, Czech Republic. There were chosen three areas with different vegetation (beech, spruce a unforested areas) at this site. The arsenopyrite samples were placed in all soil horizons (litter, horizons A, B and C for forest areas; horizons A, B and C for unforested area), where they were exposed to ambient conditions for one year. After one-year weathering, the newly formed secondary minerals were identified and the rate of surface oxidation was determined, both depending on the environment of oxidation. Although physical-chemical parameters and content of main and trace elements of the studied soils varied, the only detected crystalline secondary mineral of arsenic was scorodite (FeAsO4∙2H2O). Nevertheless, this differences affected amount of formed scorodite. The highest concentrations were determined on the surface of the arsenopyrite grains that oxidized in the beech stand, conversely the lowest concentrations were determined on the arsenopyrite grains from the unforested area.

Classification of forest vegetation using remote sensing data of high and very high spatial resolution
Riedl, Martin ; Štych, Přemysl (advisor) ; Mikita, Tomáš (referee)
Classification of forest vegetation using remote sensing data of high and very high spatial resolution Abstract The purpose of this work is to classify forest vegetation and create a legend (land cover) by using data of very high (World View - 2) and high (Landsat - 8) spatial resolution for the part of the territory of the National Park of the Šumava. The first part of the work focuses on the description of the methods of per-pixel classification. In the practical part of the methods are applied to the satellite data. For all the results of the classification accuracy is detected. Other parts of the work is the description of the legend of ÚHÚL forestry and legend of Corine land cover. By using satellite imagery (the high resolution and a very high resolution) to classify forest vegetation using the classification methods. And create a map file, that will be most correspond to the reality of the area of Šumava national park. Additional information is drawn from the forest plans ÚHÚL.) Keywords: Classification Landsat - 8, World View - 2, Šumava, Vegetation Cover, Land Cover

Nest predation risk in Grey Partridge (Perdix perdix)
Holomek, Stanislav ; Šálek, Miroslav (advisor) ; Poláková, Simona (referee)
The gray partridge (Perdix perdix) is a bird species living in hiding and nesting on the ground in the open landscape. Even though this species uses several well-known anti-predator adaptations and strategies, its nests are often predated. The range of nest predators and the circumstances of predation have not, however, been satisfactorily described yet. This diploma thesis summarizes the results of experiments carried out on artificial nests and is supplemented by the description of nest behaviour of two incubing hens obtained from video shooting their nests. This work also includes the results of video shoots of predators on artificial nests, the most common of them being the marten. The successful survival of nests in all experiments was influenced mainly by hiding the nest in vegetation. However, the presence of feather odour of adult birds increased the risks of predation even for well-hidden nests. Nests placed in grass biotopes survived the best regardless their covering. What mattered most in other biotopes (along the edges of field roads, forests or groves and field biotopes off any lines) was the covering of nests with vegetation. Partridges nesting close to the edge of a forest or a grove are not very safe from predators. The fact that both nesting partridges and nest predators prefer a...

Evaluation of Changes in Water Regime Caused by Long-term Development of Vegetation Cover
Chlumecký, M. ; Tesař, Miroslav ; Buchtele, Josef
Long monitoring of air temperature and precipitation for three catchments with up to 100 years series has been used as the input for the modelling of rainfall-runoff process and for the re-assessments of the evapotranspiration demand (ET.sub.demand./sub.). The resulting oscillations and the random changes of vegetation cover have been pursued as the indication of fluctuations also in the evapotranspiration. The intention is to appraise this complicated time series as the long-term process. The modified implementation of the conceptual model SAC-SMA enables the quicker simulation and facilitates also the conditions for automatic calibration of parameters in the used model; separately for individual, i.e. partial time intervals, namely with the diverse expected evapotranspiration. That process is to be identified simultaneously with the optimal parameters of the mode; the resulting actual evapotranspiration (ET.sub.act./sub.) is then represented as the modelling outputs, as such values could be hardly gained as measured or computed values, e. g. from other meteo-observations.
