Abstract The awareness of drought and its impacts on Central Europe increased after the significant episodes in 2000, 2003, 2012 2015, which were all estimated to have caused over 500 million Euro damage Czech Republic alone. These events indicated need for timely high‐resolution monitoring tools that would enable analysing, forecasting events. Monitoring soil water availability near real time at (up 0.5 × km some products) helps farmers managers mitigate these extreme Drought Monitor was...
Abstract. The 2022 European drought has underscored critical deficiencies in water management. This paper explores these shortcomings and suggests a way forward for risk Data this study was gathered through continent-wide survey of managers involved event. collected 481 responses from 30 countries is comprised 19 questions concerning sectorial impact the 55 regions responders management practices their organizations. Information enriched with climate-related information to offer...
In the Czech Republic, soil moisture content during growing season has been decreasing over past six decades, and drought events have become significantly more frequent. 2003, 2015, 2018 2019, affected almost entire country, with droughts in 2000, 2004, 2007, 2012, 2014 2017 having smaller extents but still severe intensities some regions. The current methods of visiting cadastral areas (approximately 13,000) to allocate compensation funds for crop yield losses caused by or aggregating...
Abstract We analyze the surface energy budget from four climate model ensembles and its future changes in 21 st century under RCP8.5 or SSP5-8.5 scenario. High-resolution Euro-CORDEX regional models (RCMs) their driving CMIP5 global (CMIP5-D) are first tested Central Europe against observational datasets. Evaluation reveals added value of RCMs terms spatial variability smaller biases. CMIP5-D affected by positive bias irradiance that propagates into other radiation heat fluxes. There strong...
: The Thaya river basin provides multiple water uses in the transboundary region of Lower Austria and Southern Moravia. Due to low precipitation (P) reference evapotranspiration (ETo) ratio, is among most sensitive climate change region. main objective understand changes balance variables including actual (ET), P runoff (RO) their drivers for period 1981–2020, 2001–2020 case using remote sensing data. analyses confirm previously reported increasing trends air temperature, ETo, no P. ET...
Satisfactory requirements for the spatial resolution of climate and influences soil data in defining starting points, endings, intensities droughts have become matters discussion recent years. The overall inclusiveness modelling tools applied is also frequently discussed. In this light, five model setups (MSs) daily SoilClim water balance were developed tested Czech Republic (CR) 1961–2020 period. These included two versions model, sets data, climatic at different resolutions. MS1–MS4 based...
The present study analyses 61 years of phenological observations (1961–2021) five herb, shrub, four tree, and one bird species representing the prevalent spring floodplain forest ecosystems in Czech Republic, central Europe. situ were conducted at Vranovice site (48°48′ N, 16°46′ E, 170 m above mean sea level) Plaček’ National Reserve. observed plants showed statistically significant (p < 0.05) shifts terms to an earlier date year, but rate shift among differed. most progressive detected...
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...
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 The origin of somatic cell lineages during testicular development is controversial in mammals. Employing basal amphibian tetrapod Xenopus tropicalis we established a culture derived from testes juvenile male. Expression analysis showed transcription some pluripotency genes and Sertoli cell, peritubular myoid mesenchymal markers. Transcription germline-specific was downregulated. Immunocytochemistry revealed that majority cells express vimentin co-express Sox9 smooth muscle α-actin...

Drought impact data play a crucial role in assessing drought risk, aiding the determination and validation of warning levels, predicting potential impacts. Although there is growing consensus on operational use monitored physical hazard indices, currently no universally accepted convention for data. This contribution delves into methodology, development, content filling European Impact Database (EDID), illustrating challenges involved transitioning from initial research databases to database...
Using remote sensing data to assess plant phenology is a useful method for monitoring areas at larger spatial scales. One of the most widely used methods analyzing changes in timing growing season employment vegetation indices and phenological metrics (phenometrics) derived from them. phenometrics, it possible evaluate different land covers environmental conditions not only local level but also areas. At scales, meteorological especially their influence on can be more diverse. For...
Droughts are among the most destructive natural disasters affecting millions worldwide, profoundly impacting society and ecosystems. The demand for effective drought impact monitoring reporting systems was proven to be crucial timely mitigation response. Traditionally, rely heavily on manual processing analysis validation of physical online reports or costly clipping databases, often lacking real-time information. is not only time-consuming but also prone inconsistencies delays in long term....
The impact of climate change on phenological timing is well-known and described in the scientific literature. Most papers agree that rising temperature accelerates onset spring phases. Nevertheless, there more significant disagreement synchronicity or asynchronicity trends individual species. In this study, therefore, we will work with long-term data have been observed continuously floodplain forests (and relate to herbs, shrubs, trees, bird populations) from 1961 present. plants species...
