Abstract. Drought events and their impacts vary spatially temporally due to diverse pedo-climatic hydrologic conditions, as well variations in exposure vulnerability, such demographics response actions. While hazard severity frequency of past drought have been studied detail, little is known about the effect management strategies on actual how perceived by relevant stakeholders. In a continental study, we characterised assessed perceptions two recent (2018 2019) Europe examined relationship...
Abstract Floodplains include unique environments shaped over a long time horizon along rivers and smaller streams formed by alluvial sediments. As floodplains are flat, often with highly fertile well‐accessible land, they have become the intrinsic focus of human society—while providing variety goods ecosystem services. Intensive land use is degrading their natural values significantly reducing functions A significant part these key services related ability to retain water nutrients, which...
Abstract Riparian zones are the paragon of transitional ecosystems, providing critical habitat and ecosystem services that especially threatened by global change. Following consultation with experts, 10 key challenges were identified to be addressed for riparian vegetation science management improvement: (1) Create a distinct scientific community establishing stronger bridges between disciplines; (2) Make more visible appreciated in society policies; (3) Improve knowledge regarding...
The main purpose of the paper is to analyse procedures urban brownfield solutions, with a focus on environmental and cultural-historical aspects.The explores dilemmas regeneration redevelopment.These processes are placed in wider perspective multi -transformation post-communist cities.We compared two former industrial zones -Karolina Lower Area Vítkovice city Ostrava -where we illustrated key factors influencing their transformation.These case studies point unique example brownfields...
This article deals with the modelling of erosion and accumulation processes in contemporary cultural landscape Central Europe. The area interest is headwater part small stream catchment—the Kopaninský Stream central Czech Republic. It an agricultural forest–agricultural a relatively rugged topography riverbed slope, which makes terrain very vulnerable to water erosion. main aim this compare results four selected soil sediment delivery models, are currently widely used quantitate rates,...
Drought directly and indirectly affects human society in a number of ways.In many regions the world climate change will exasperate effects droughts, affect national economies more intensely.The main aim this article was to catalogue analyze drought impacts 11 Central South Eastern European states located Danube river basin.The identification dry episodes based on information from publicly available sources, namely, newspaper journal articles that reported impacts.Information impact...
Abstract. According to the International Disaster Database (CRED 2009) frequency of extreme hydrological situations on a global scale is constantly increasing. The most typical example natural risk in Europe flood – there decrease number victims, but significant increase economic damage. A victims caused by application current management that focuses its attention primarily large rivers and elimination damages major situations. growing losses, however, are manifestation increasing intensity...
Based on research of the river landscape, spatial variability environmental values and their changes over time, it is possible to identify parameters which are in some way involved formation runoff processes. In this paper issue natural disturbances an environment watercourse its floodplain solved example two model sites. These lowland catchment areas small watercourses Czech Republic. On basis map visualization collected data, authors deal with interpretation landscape pattern within...

While hazardous severity frequency of past drought have been studied detail, little is known about the effect management strategies on actual impacts, how hazard perceived by relevant stakeholders for inducing action.

Recently, increasing attention has been paid to the anthropogenic degradation of riverbed and its relationship ecological status adjacent river landscape. The key objective this research was determine extent disturbance selected small streams their riparian zone in a study area located forest forest-agricultural landscape Czech Republic. next step analyze mutual relationships between vegetation hydromorphological riverbed. main working hypothesis considered good as reflected favorable...
Climate change is expected to affect the frequency, magnitude and seasonality of various precipitation-related hazards, including flooding as one costliest hazards in Europe. As natural have a significant impact on infrastructure, human lives, habitats, it clear that adaptation measures aimed at both prevention mitigation need be considered address climate change. Green (referred Nature-based) are currently being promoted by European Union, but some planning contexts these may not fully...
3D data for natural environments are now widely available via open at large scales (e.g., OpenTopography) and can be easily acquired on the field by terrestrial LiDAR scan (TLS) or structure-from-motion (SFM) from camera drone imagery. The description of landscapes gives access to an unprecedented level details that significantly change way we look at, understand, study systems. Point clouds with millimetric resolution even allow go further investigate properties riverbed sediments:...
In Nepal, climate change is projected to cause a rapid increase in air temperature, erratic rainfalls, and other changes that could negatively impact agricultural productivity. Given the crucial role of agriculture household income consumption, Nepal particularly vulnerable these impacts. Organic farming has potential enhance environmental protection contribute positively mitigation adaptation. This study aims identify suitable crops for individual wards within Dolakha district under...
Abstract River landscapes represent key areas of great importance to human society as they perform many functions and provide valuable services. Traditionally, these have been perceived geomorphological phenomena characterised by specific soil conditions, hydrological regimes unique habitats. Due the availability detailed data, it is possible a spatial delineation river interpreting data using several different approaches. The results approaches can vary considerably, since particularly...
Abstract Riparian zones represent an important ecosystem providing a range of functions and services to humans—for example, biodiversity support, reduction in erosion risk, or the transport pollutants from surrounding landscape watercourses. At same time, it is environment that has been often subjected significant pressure during agricultural cultivation development industrial residential activities human society. Thus, large number riparian ecosystems have disappeared degraded. The...
