Abstract In Europe and elsewhere, agri‐environmental schemes (AES) are designed to reduce agriculture's impacts on the environment. Designing effective requires an understanding of reasons that drive farmers' decisions whether adopt AES. Currently, most insights come from individual case studies or structured surveys based predefined questions. There is a paucity do not rely rigid preconceptions about relevant behavioural factors while also offering geographically socio‐culturally broad...
Many attempts have been made worldwide to develop methods identify the areas most threatened by soil degradation. Some soils in afflicted may be irreversibly degraded and thus very little resilience (the ability restore themselves). For purpose of assessing current state degradation Czech Republic (CZ) we developed an overall indicator land vulnerability threat on basis individual factors that contribute are monitored a long-term various research worksites CZ. Individual were divided into...
The paper addresses the issue of constraint function and its use in methods regional taxonomy assessment systems. It proposes an alternative definition for rule-based functional regionalisation, such as delineation local labour-market areas, including conceptions self-containment regions, trade-off between size self-containment. An has been applied territory Czech Republic shown paper's illustrative example from original CURDS algorithm.
Abstract The issue of defining functional regions in the Czech Republic is presented this paper, which contributes to both theoretical discussions (e.g. modifiable areal unit problem) and practical applications spatial administration, regional planning). A multistage agglomerative approach taxonomy applied, has been used geographical research for first time only recently. regionalisation algorithm provided four optional solutions issue, based on analysis daily travel-to-work flows from 2001...
Abstract The adoption of agri-environment practices (AEPs) is crucial for safeguarding the long-term sustainability ecosystem services within European agricultural landscapes. However, tailoring policies to unique characteristics farming systems a challenging task, often neglecting local farm parameters or requiring extensive survey data. Here, we develop simplified typology system archetypes (FSAs), using field-level data on farms’ economic size and specialisation derived from Integrated...
Soil is negatively affected by many degradation factors, of which soil erosion the most serious, affecting quality, crop production, and environmental components. quality an issue dealt with in New European Green Deal. In order to meet set goals, it will be necessary address water agricultural landscape, increase area green infrastructure within landscape (e.g., fragments woodland, windbreaks, grassland). this context, climate change also expected affect frequency intensity torrential...
Abundances of the common hamster in western Europe declined dramatically over last 30 years. Recently, severe restrictions distribution range have also been reported from central European countries. Here we update knowledge Czech Republic based on information six independent sources: (1) monitoring programme for vole carried out by State Phytosanitary Administration, (2) directly us, (3) questionnaire data farming companies, (4) district museums, (5) a public server BioLib mapping species...
Since the year 2012, nationwide monitoring of erosion on agricultural land has been carried out in Czech Republic with more than 2,300 cases events recorded so far. The evaluation relationships between actual manifestation and characteristics 5600 enclosed areas (EEAs), which surface runoff develops after erosion-forming rainfall, are presented this contribution. Most frequently grown crops during an event include maize (49.8% cases), rapeseed (13.7%), potatoes (8.1%) sugar beets (2.1%)....
The agricultural landscape of the Czech Republic is facing climate change, and drought among most severe stress factors. Thousands small ponds naturally wet areas have been drained transformed into parcels. Their restoration could increase landscape’s resilience to change. Therefore, we describe possibility using hyperspectral aerial surveying for identification waterlogged in based on example one warmest driest regions Republic—the South Moravian region, an area where water retention highly...
In our work, we have evaluated the available data on individual types of soil damage, which has been processed in Czech Republic recent decades. The degradation (water erosion, wind compaction, extreme soils (clay soils), loss organic matter, acidification, dryness impact, and intoxication) were classified one three groups: physical degradation, desertification chemical degradation. Each type was assigned a specific weight reflecting importance this kind maps areas by overlay assigning...
The article demonstrates a multilevel method of soil degradation analysis on land within South Moravia (Czech Republic (CZ)), in the Hodonín region, which is among highest producing agricultural regions CZ.The takes top-down approach, from regional scale, through cadastres, to individual blocks land.In initial (rough) phase, selection was based Soil Degradation Model created for Czech Republic, classifies extent cadastral level.Within chosen Čejkovice cadastre most burdened terms combination...
In this article, we discuss the influence of soil erosion on crop yield in erosion-prone chernozem region South Moravia. Erosional and depositional areas show significant differences properties, which are also reflected total yield. Plots winter wheat, grown during years 2016–2019 were used for analysis. The Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), referred to literature as one best correlates yield, was provide indirect information Although erosional visible orthophoto images soils, necessary not...
Our study presents a connectivity modelling approach to addressing issues relating the decline in biodiversity landscape of Southern Moravia, one most productive agricultural areas Czech Republic, markedly changed post-war period collectivization. A modified Hanski-based method was applied modelling, with use least-cost distance evaluation. We propose new concept resistance determination, based on occurrence data species rather than expert opinion. This species-specific enables us not only...
Water erosion significantly affects soil properties, yet comparative studies between different types are limited. This study examines the impact of on physical, chemical, and biochemical properties Chernozems Cambisols in South Moravian Vysočina regions Czech Republic. We combined field sampling, laboratory analysis, geospatial modeling to identify erosion, transition, deposition zones slopes. Soil samples were collected from these both analyzed for particle size distribution, organic carbon...
The Case Study Base Layer, described in this deliverable, is a harmonised geospatial database spanning across the five case study areas of BESTMAP: South Moravia (Czech Republic), Mulde (Germany), Humber (Great Britain), Backa (Serbia), and Catalonia (Spain). It based on Preliminary Layer (MS3) includes information climatic soil conditions, biodiversity, land use/land cover (including crop types), farm structure socio-economic data. serves as base for biophysical ecosystem service (ES)...
This document provides a summary of the systematic analyses conducted across BESTMAP five CS as part activities in Work Packages (WP) 1, 2, 3 and 4. First, we describe main qualitative findings obtained from farmers during semi-structured interview campaigns regarding their attitudes towards implementation agri-environmental schemes (AES). Second, elaborate on results follow-up online questionnaire which included Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) to investigate farmers’ personal...
This deliverable presents a Summaries of data, obstacles and challenges from interview campaigns the H2020 BESTMAP project. It covers detailed description methodology, reporting on concrete steps taken to collect analyze data. also discusses campaigns. Finally, main qualitative quantitative findings analysis, with focus content analysis open questions.
Abstract The article presents a method of selecting critical areas (4 th river basin) in terms landscape degradation, with an emphasis on water retention, from relatively larger unit (3 rd basin). For this purpose, indicators that point directly or indirectly to soil and degradation retention were selected regard the scale processing. processed multi-criteria context using principal component analysis, which, based spatial layout pattern indicators, assigns weights importance. These then...
