The most pronounced increase in number of herb species was remarked in the clear cut+litter gathering treatment. Harvest led to an increase in soil temperature and moisture. TheCO2efflux was the highest in September, namely in control treatment. The lowest intensity of root growth was remarked in the control treatment. Variants with litter gathering had smaller (28.9%) relative growth ratio.

Metodika identifikace potenciálního průsaku reaktivního dusíku do podzemních zdrojů vod je založena na hodnocení kombinace konzervativních, těžko měnitelných a časově stabilních faktorů povodí a těch faktorů, které může člověk svým působením v krajině ovlivňovat. K ním patří způsoby a intenzita pěstování polních plodin na orné půdě povodí. Parametry druhé skupiny jsou získávány na základě metod obrazové spektroskoie leteckých hyperspektrálních a satelitních multispektrálních dat Sentinel-2. The methodology demonstrates on the case study of a catchment (cca 200 km2 in size) how to identify the areas with high risk of nitrogen (N) leaching to underground water in arable land. It uses synergy between “conservative” characteristics of the catchment, such as orographic features, bedrock and soil hydrological properties, and the dynamic ones, which are represented by vegetation properties. The latter are identified through the imaging spectroscopy of wheat canopy obtained from airborne hyperspectral and/or Sentinel-2 multispectral data.

Impacts of hydrometeorological extremes in South Moravia based on documentary evidence
Chromá, Kateřina; Dolák, Lukáš; Brázdil, Rudolf; Řezníčková, Ladislava
2017 - English
Hydrometeorological extremes have influenced human lives significantly in the past, just as they continue\nto do today. To analyse these influences in the past, information is needed from before the start of systematic\nmeteorological and hydrological observations. Documentary evidence constitutes a very rich source of\ninformation about past hydrometeorological extremes. This paper focuses on impacts of hydrometeorological\nextremes on agriculture and material property and their socio-economic consequences. It also discusses\nthe potential and limitations of such documentary evidence. Despite documentary evidence’s several\nlimitations (e.g. spatial and temporal uncertainty, uncertainty in the annual distribution of records, in\nthe type of extreme, etc.), it is a promising source of information useful for future studies.

Comparison of leaf area index dynamics and radiation use efficiency of C3 crops in the Czech Republic
Tripathi, Abishek; Pohanková, Eva; Trnka, Miroslav; Klem, Karel
2017 - English
Leaf area index (LAI) and radiation use efficiency (RUE) are key parameters for plant growth and productivity.\nBecause of irregularities in weather conditions, accurate estimation of crop production requires\nunderstanding relationships between weather, LAI, RUE, and final production. It is thus important to\nstudy how the LAI dynamics, leaf area duration (LAD), and RUE are related to aboveground biomass production\nfor different crops. In our study, we compared aboveground dry mass production, LAI dynamics,\nRUE, and LAD in three C3 crops (spring barley [SB], winter wheat [WW], and oilseed rape [OSR]) in the\nCzech Republic. LAI was measured on the basis of transmitted photosynthetically active radiation, LAD\nwas calculated by counting the number of days in the growing season, RUE was measured using Beer’s\nlaw, and the aboveground dry mass was estimated at the time of harvest. Results of our study showed high\nbiomass production and RUE in SB while there was highest maximum LAI (LAImax) and LAD in OSR. We\nconcluded that LAI dynamics or LAImax do not fully reflect the crop production and that RUE may be considered\nas a better indicator for aboveground dry mass production.

Stem emissions from poplar hybrids grown in a shortrotation plantation contribute to ecosystem balance of nitrous oxide and methane
Macháčová, Kateřina; Kreuzwieser, J.; Rennenberg, H.
2017 - English
The expansion of short-rotation coppices (SRCs) of fast-growing trees can affect the global balance of greenhouse\ngases (GHGs). These include not only carbon dioxide (CO2) but also methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide\n(N2O), both naturally produced by soil microorganisms. Trees are known to exchange CH4 and N2O with\nthe atmosphere. To date, however, the fluxes of these gases from fast-growing trees have been excluded from\nestimation of the GHGs balance for SRCs. Our objectives were to quantify and scale up CH4 and N2O fluxes\nfrom stems of the fast-growing poplar hybrids Max4 and Monviso at an SRC in southwest Germany. Our\ncase study shows that the stems of both hybrids were sources of N2O and CH4, even though consumption of\nCH4 was also observed. The hybrids did not differ in their exchange capacity. Nitrogen fertilization resulted in\nhigher stem N2O emissions compared to non-fertilized trees. The emissions of N2O and CH4 from stems contributed\nas much as 1.5% and 1.2% of soil N2O emission and soil CH4 uptake, respectively.

Potential of flux-variance and surface renewal methods for sensible heat flux measurements at agricultural and forest surfaces
Fischer, Milan; Katul, G.; Pozníková, Gabriela; Noormets, A.; Domec, J.-C.; Trnka, Miroslav; King, J.
2017 - English
Two alternative micrometeorological methods, flux-variance (FV) and surface renewal (SR), based on\nmeasurements of high-frequency temperature fluctuation and Obukhov length stability parameter, were\ntested against eddy covariance (EC) sensible heat flux (H) measurements. The study was conducted at\nthree sites representing agricultural, forestry, and agroforestry systems. In terms of measurement setup,\nthese sites represented surface, roughness, and canopy top layer, respectively. As expected, the best match\nof all the methods was in the surface layer, whilst it was poorer in the roughness and canopy sublayers.\nSystematic deviation from EC across all three investigated surfaces was within 16% and 8% for FV and SR,\nrespectively. While FV resulted in higher correlation with EC measurements (0.93–0.98 vs. 0.89–0.97),\nSR provided less systematic biases (1.02–1.08 vs. 0.94–1.16). In general, both FV and SR provided slightly\nhigher H as compared to EC. We suggest that parallel deployment of FV and SR is useful, as both methods\nrequire the same instrumentation yet they are based on sufficiently different theories. Therefore, the agreement\nbetween FV and SR increases confidence in the results obtained and vice versa.

Výskyt silných mrazů koncem měsíce dubna 2016 s ohledem na škody způsobené v ovocnářství
Zahradníček, Pavel; Rožnovský, J.; Štěpánek, Petr; Chuchma, F.
2017 - Czech
Výskyty teplot vzduchu pod bodem mrazu na počátku a konci vegetace, tedy výskyty tzv. vegetačních mrazů, byly vždy v našich klimatických podmínkách nebezpečím. Zima 2015/2016 byla relativně teplá, podobně také počátek jara a též měsíc duben. Vysoké škody v sadech způsobilo prudké ochlazení od 25. do 30. dubna 2016, kdy se na naše území dostal velmi studený vzduch od severu. Minimální teploty v noci a ráno klesly pod bod mrazu. Příliv studeného vzduchu začal 19. 4. 2016, ale pod bodem mrazu byly jen přízemní teploty vzduchu. Ovšem v období 25. až 30. 4. 2016 poklesly pod 0°C i teploty vzduchu měřené ve 2 metrech. Na celém území ČR byla nejnižší naměřená minima pod bodem mrazu a nejčastěji se pohybovala mezi -2 až -4°C. Nejnižší minimální přízemní teploty vzduchu za dané období klesly pod -5°C na 85 % území ČR. Na Moravě byla přízemní minimální teplota vzduchu nižší než 0°C v pěti dnech, v Čechách každý den ze sledovaného období 25. až 30. 4. 2016. Je nutné zdůraznit, že v době květu ovocných stromů bez listů tvoří květy aktivní povrch. Vyzařováním jsou teploty květů často ještě nižší než naměřená minima přízemní teploty vzduchu. V tomto hodnocení není zahrnut vliv reliéfu, díky kterému dochází k výskytu mrazových kotlin. Air temperatures below 0°C, the so-called vegetation period frosts, have always been a problem in the climate conditions of the Czech Republic. The 2015/2016 winter as relatively mild, as well as the following beginning of spring and April. Major damages were caused by sudden rapid drop in air temperatures in the period between 25th and 30th April 2016, as a result of very cold air from the North. Air temperature began to fall on 19th April 2016, but only ground temperatures were below freezing point. Between 25th and 30th April, however, even air temperatures measured at 2m above the ground dropped below 0°C. All over the country, the minimum temperatures were below 0°C, usually between -2 and -4°C. The lowest minimum ground air temperatures were below -5°C at 85% of the area of the Czech Republic. In Moravia, the minimum ground air temperature was below 0°C on five days, in Bohemia it was every day in the period between 25th and 30th April 2016. It should be emphasized that during the flowering time of fruit trees without leaves, the flowers form an active surface. Due to radiation the flower temperature is often even lower than the measured ground air temperature minimum. This analysis does not include the effects of terrain, which determines positions of frost basins.
