Abstract No-tillage (NT) systems are currently recommended because they assumed to support more ecosystem services than conventional tillage (CT) systems. Although no-till have shown long-term success in agriculture subtropical regions, no clear evidence of NT-driven improvements soil properties and crop growth conditions has been put forth temperate climates. The current study summarizes the findings 26 previously published studies, which authors compared 76 experimental sites regions...
The phenological phases of field crops have shifted to earlier times in the Czech Republic recent decades; additionally, they shown correlations with temperatures from previous spring months. Using a thermal time model called PhenoClim, between and phenophases allow us evaluate strongest predictors (i.e., maximum temperature) indicators base growing degree days for selected winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). With help this model, it is possible explain 0.6–0.82% phase variability estimate...
To investigate the different responses of crops to drought stress under field conditions Central European Climate for selected crop rotations, a experiment was conducted at test site in Czech Republic from 2014 2021. Depending on crop, rainout shelters were placed late spring and early summer study effects final stages development. Due these associated lower water availability during summer, reduction leaf area index, biomass yield observed. For example, decrease more than 30% observed...
In recent years, there has been an increasing emphasis on reducing greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture with no-till management (NT) instead of traditional conventional tillage (CT). The NT adopted as a promising strategy to improve physical and organic pools the soil profile dynamics agriculture. CT leads due mixing soil, higher disturbance aggregates, faster decomposition biomass, thus emission carbon dioxide. Therefore, envisaged method for (SOC) content upper layers soil. accumulation...
The Svratka river basin represents an important water resource in the South Moravian Region of Czech Republic. Due to its relatively low aridity index (the ratio precipitation potential evapotranspiration), it belongs basins sensitive climate change. This is also supported by significant negative runoff trends over past 40 years. aim this study evaluate impacts a hypothetical land use change on hydrological processes basin. We used physically based and spatially distributed model Mike SHE....
The Thaya river basin is one of the key basins in southern part Czech Republic. Due to extensive regulations and partial drainage area, it belongs sensitive climate change impacts. This supported by significant negative runoff trends over past 40 years. main aim this contribution analyze impacts hypothetical land use changes on hydrological processes upper basin. In study, we used a Mike SHE model. physically based spatially distributed model was calibrated validated using measured discharge...
