The study deals with definition and cross-comparison of soil infiltration capacity at two selected sites located in cadastral territories of Nosislav and Žabčice, Czech Republic. In order to assess the soil infiltration capacity in the areas of interest Niva and Kovál over the course of the 2010 growing season, four trips were made with three measurements taking place during each trip. A method of doublering infiltration measurement was applied, based on the use of two concentric cylinders in field conditions and the subsequent data processing via geographical-empirical method according to Kostiakov. The soil infiltration capacity was assessed with regard to physical properties determined by an analysis of intact soil samples using Kopecky cylinders. The results indicate a reduced infiltration capacity due to soil compaction and also significant differences between the two sites, primarily caused by differences in soil type and, hence, different physical characteristics.
Our paper is focused on verification of research of the impact of waste landfills on the environment, using bioindicators. The goal of this study was to find how plants may be used to indicate some of the emissions from landfill sites. Sampling was carried out in 2007-09 and 2011-12. The obtained data were compared with a simple floristic list prepared in 1995. Selected bioindicators were used to estimate, confirm, or deny the impact of the landfill on the close vicinity.
Problems of the retention capacity of the landscape and related runoff conditions are at present, at the time of the occurrence of frequent storm floods, a topical problem. Our research was aimed at the evaluation of effects of physical-geographical factors on hydrological conditions of the Fryšávka River drainage area occurring in the southern part of the Žďárské vrchy CHKO (Žďárské Hills Protected Landscape Area) depending on the current position of the landscape cover. Preparation and analyses of source data were carried out in ArcGIS 9.2 in the ArcView software product by means of the set of integrated software applications ArcMap, ArcCatalog and ArcToolbox. To determine hydrological conditions at the absence of hydrometric observations a method was used of numbers of runoff curves CN in a modification of the DesQ-MAXQ deterministic episode model. Based on hydrological characteristics, potential retention was monitored as well as the volume of flood wave, concentration time and peak discharge. Hydrological modelling was carried out on a design storm precipitation with the return period of 100 years. The significance of physical-geographical factors affecting the landscape retention capacity and runoff conditions was quantified by the statistical method of multiple regression and correlation analysis on the set of 95 partial drainage areas of the studied region. The analyses were carried out using the UNISTAT system. The method makes possible to select independent variables by gradual steps from most important down to least important. Finally, using the step linear regression, a certain number of independent variables was selected mostly affecting the size of a respective dependent variable together with the quantification of their operation through regression coefficients. Results achieved could be used at the implementation of preventive measures resulting in increasing the retention capacity of partial drainage areas, which served for the registration of major runoffs from a unit area.
Our paper focuses on complex research into the issue of waste disposal and the possibilities of using bioindicators to assess landfill impact on the surroundings. In 2010 we conducted a floristic survey and set up a list of the occurring species of vascular plants. The subject of research was surface area of the landfill and its immediate surroundings. During floristic research in 2010 we recorded 88 species that were compared with the list of 94 plants detected in 2007. Based on vegetation biomonitoring, we did not find any adverse influence of the landfill on the biotic composition of the environment. Neither had we recorded any alarming signs such as, e.g., leaf area chlorosis or necrosis, which would indicate direct impact on the local environs due to the operation of the sanitary landfill.
Our paper focuses on examination and determination of bioindicators. From their existence, condition or behavior judgments might be carried out on the existence of specific environmental indicators and on environmental conditions and changes. The goal of this study was to investigate if and how plants may be used to indicate some of the emissions of landfill sites. Sampling was carried out in the middle of April 2007, 2008, and 2009. The obtained data were compared with a simple floristic list prepared in 1995. Selected bioindicators were used to estimate impact of the landfill on the close vicinity.

How to improve landscape sustainability?

100%
Almost every professional sector has embarked on the move toward sustainability. European landscapes are facing rapid changes in land use, where understanding and management of this process is essential. Sustainability has become a widely acknowledged dimension of human actions, but still little stress is put on education in sustainability. This paper identifies focus of education, gives suggestions for improvements and presents a new tool for education and training in sustainable land use – “Route Planner”. As results, it provides all users with new interesting facts on sustainability in the European Union and additional materials related to sustainable land use and Sustainability Impact Assessments (SIA). Users got the access to updated information regarding approximately 3000 courses on offer in this topic area throughout the European Union as well as case studies to compare sustainability practices in these countries in comparison to other parts of the world. Furthermore the end result of the information chain also leads the user to a collection of links such as interesting websites and further reading in the topic area.
