Abstract Questions (1) Do 17 seres studied proceed towards corresponding potential natural vegetation; (2) what are the similarities between seral and vegetation, is it possible to estimate how long takes reach (3) do primary secondary differ? Location Extracted peatlands, corridors of former iron curtain, artificial fishpond islands barriers, sedimentary basins, various spoil heaps after mining, stone quarries, forest clearings, burned‐down forests, road verges, sand gravel‐sand pits, river...
Abstract Understory herbs and soil invertebrates play key roles in formation nutrient cycling forests. Studies suggest that diversity the canopy understory are positively associated, but these studies often confound effects of tree species with those identity abiotic conditions. We combined extensive field sampling structural equation modeling to evaluate simultaneous on herbs, beetles, earthworms. The earthworms saproxylic beetles was directly associated diversity, presumably because both...
Abstract Between 2010 and 2011 a field survey dedicated to Dracaena cinnabari (DC) population was conducted in Firmihin, Socotra Island (Yemen). It’s main goal collect data that would make it possible unbiasedly estimate characteristics of the local DC population. Our motivation provide reliable information support decision-making processes as well other research activities. At same time we were not aware which could this kind statistical-sound estimates for whole covering an area almost 700...
ABSTRACT This paper presents an evaluation of full-area floristic mapping floodplain forest in Tvrdonice district (Židlochovice Forest Enterprise) based on a single stand inventory. The study area encompasses 2,200 ha forests, where 769 segments were inventoried, and 46,886 records about presence vascular plant species catalogued. We found 612 (incl. subspecies hybrids), out which 514 herbs, 98 woody plants, 113 endangered 170 adventive species. average segment is 2.86 ha. mean number per...
The role of soil properties for vegetation development during early spontaneous succession was studied in a limestone quarry Mokrá (south Moravia, Czech Republic). In particular, we would like to detect the environment features supporting swards formation expansive reed grass (Calamagrostis epigejos), which is able arrest process. Research conducted along postmined benches, where natural recovery took place. We examined water–air regime, organic carbon (SOC) content, total nitrogen content...
Abstract This paper presents an evaluation of full-area floristic investigation floodplain forests in Soutok forest district (Židlochovice Forest State Enterprise) based on individual stand inventory. The study area encompasses 5103 ha forests, where 1186 segments were inventoried, and 71 223 single records about presence vascular plant species done. We found 761 taxa (species, subspecies hybrids), out which 655 herbs, 106 woody plants, 156 endangered 177 adventive species. average a segment...
Abstract The article analyses possibilities of using landscape paintings in the studies land cover changes. It examines 112 from 1728 till 1976 and compares them with existing topographic maps. depicted present it changes derived maps several periods, ranging 1764 2006. In order to make analyses, all had be localised as precisely possible. This was done help map by field work. Field work also necessary for identifying main use/cover comparison painting. A TopoLandUse database, consisting use...
The contribution presents results of terrain mapping monumental trees in the area floodplain forests along confluence Thaya and Morava rivers Czech Republic.The study region is located within Lower Biosphere Reserve part NATURA 2000.Therefore, this represents an important object from viewpoint recreational landscape utilization, where trees, so-called veterans, can increase tourist potential region, especially context overall decline European landscape.Currently, are disappearing mainly due...
Nature conservation in the Carpathians focuses on primary forest remnants as biodiversity hotspots. They are often recognized by complex structural qualities such tree size heterogeneity and occurrence of ancient trees. Studies from managed forests or gradients to unmanaged suggest that structure increases herb layer diversity. We have tested effect complexity, light conditions, natural disturbances vegetation composition richness 150 plots beech across Slovakia complement recent evidence....
Development of primeval spruce forests is driven by series mixed severity disturbances. Disturbances and their legacies revealed dendrochronological methods are shaping recent tree-stand structure. In this paper, we focused on the effect disturbance history vascular plant understorey diversity species composition. Series 141 plots (1000 m 2 for dendrochronology 400 understorey) randomly placed in stands zone natural montane acidophilous dominated Picea abies Western Carpathians was sampled....
The paper presents partial results of "entering" landscape photography, which can be considered as a complementary method for the research changes.Unlike usual assessment changes using cartographic and other archival sources, old photographs contribute to deeper knowledge local specifics examined places or supplement conventional procedures.Thanks ongoing project, supported by Technology Agency Czech Republic (TL02000222), we documented in photographic shots various landscapes 20th...
