Spectral Indices as a Tool for Hop Growth Evaluation
Seidlová, Jana ; Procházka, Pavel ; Kumhálová, Jitka
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to monitor crop growth is nowadays a common non-invasive way how to obtain information on the current state of crops. Spectral indices derived from multispectral images obtained in the right growth stage can then serve as a good data source for agro-technical interventions and yield estimation. Hop belongs among the crops where it is possible to scan the individual growth parameters very exactly. In the year 2021, significant precipitation amounts were recorded during the growing season, when it turned out that UAVs are a very powerful tool for determining the quality of production or quantification of vegetation damage compared to the previous year (2020). It was found that the common spectral indices were possible to use for calculation leaf area, structure, vigor and chlorophyll content of hop gardens.

Effect of vegetation structure on abundance of lowland forest birds in Czechia and Slovakia
Tyčová, Barbora ; Hořák, David (advisor) ; Chmel, Kryštof (referee)
The vegetation provides an ecological space for birds and its structure reflects the availability of this place and resources. What specific influence does the vegetation structure have on bird abundance and which vegetation parameters are the most essential for bird species are classic, but still topical questions. The aim of this work was to find an answer using a study focused on birds in floodplain forests and to determine whether microhabitat characteristics affect the distribution of bird species within a single habitat. The data of this work were collected by the point counting method in six floodplain forests of the Czech Republic and Slovakia and statistically evaluated using regression, correlation and redundancy analysis. The birds were observed on a larger and smaller spatial scale. It was also used the study of the saturation of the environment by bird species over time and for the first time the analysis of habitat photo documentation as an alternative way for describing the vegetation structure. Results show that the analysis of vegetation photographs can be used to explain and predict avian abundance and thus create a new suitable method for birds' studies. Some bird species such as the collared flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis) and the Eurasian blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) have...
