Regional biogeographical models are considered to be important tools for supporting decisions relating to sustainable agricultural planning for climate change. These models are useful for a better understanding of the impact of climate change on individual crop species due to their sensitivity to regional ecological conditions. This paper deals with the application of a regional biogeographical model in order to predict the impact of climate change on growing conditions for grain maize in Central Europe. The model is based on a detailed knowledge of the relationships between the climatic characteristics of vegetation zones in landscapes with ecological growing conditions suitable for grain maize in the region under study. The results gained from using the model indicate a substantial increase in the total area suitable for growing of grain maize in the study region. By 2070, this area is expected to be triple the size it is today. Special maps are used to visualize prediction scenarios in order to support decision-making in regional planning in the study region, where grain maize is an important agricultural crop. This biogeographical model can be used in other European regions, where basic data related to vegetation zones are available.

and regional planning is aimed to mapping and conservation of very large trees as important structures of green infrastructure. Despite of obvious cultural and recreational importance of these trees, there is still an knowledge-gap related to their occurrence and status in urban green area. This paper deals with results of field mapping of significant very large trees in urban environment based on case study from Prague (Czech Republic). Results of this empirical study indicated that very large (and old) trees can be very important structures for recreational ecosystem services provisioning in cities, because these trees play a role of living cultural symbols for local citizens. This is a relative novelty in awareness of urban trees importance. This case study indicated that very large trees in European cities should need more interest of researches and decision-makers in nature conservation. Results also highlighted the importance of field detailed mapping of significant trees in urban areas, which can be considered as hot-spots for very large trees with cultural and recreational significance.

The presented paper outlines the results of a biogeographic model of climatic conditions in forest vegetation zones applied in the Central European landscape. The objective of the study is a prediction of future silvicultural conditions for the Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst.), which is one of the principal tree species within European forests. The model is based on a general environmental dependence of forest vegetation zones on the long-term effect of altitudinal and exposure climates defined by the mean and extreme air temperatures and the amount and distribution of atmospheric precipitation.

Od podzimu roku 2016 do jara 2017 se na Fakultě dopravní ČVUT v Praze opět uskutečňovaly tradiční „Vlčkovy semináře“. Ty se na Fakultě dopravní ČVUT konávaly nepravidelně už od roku 1999. Smyslem seminárních debat i nyní bylo především hledat nové neotřelé impulsy k tzv. systémovému přístupu k řešení úloh, utřiďovat poznatky a náhledy na nástroje systémového inženýrství a systémové analýzy. To jinými slovy znamená hledat jak další nové (inovované) postupy a nástroje systémového přístupu, tak i cíle a možné prostory jejich uplatnění. Metodologickým základem vedení diskusí je vždy tzv. „konstruktivní teorie systémů“, prezentovaná prof. Jaroslavem Vlčkem, z jehož původního popudu se začaly tyto semináře uskutečňovat.

The paper demonstrates the results of a biogeographic model of climatic conditions of vegetation zones in the landscape of Czechia. The model uses climatological prediction data of the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute for the time period 2010-2100 according to the SRES A1B scenario and geobiocoenological characteristics of vegetation zonation of the landscape from the Register of biogeography. According to the model, the projected trends in climatic conditions of vegetation zones will be demonstrated by a substantial improvement in the conditions suitable for xerothermophilous Ponto-Pannonian biota in Czechia (the area of the 1st vegetation zone will increase). On the contrary, the size of the area with climatic conditions of the 6th to 8th vegetation zone will decrease. The model allows an algorithmization of specific climatic growing conditions of individual biological species. Thanks to this, it can be applied not only for the creation of scenarios of climate change in the landscape, but also as a support tool for creating strategies of adaptation and mitigation measures.

Predicted climate change can significantly affect ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes. Possibilities of predicting climate change effects on growing conditions of crops are therefore sought for practical reasons. The aim of the present study is to contribute to the current discussions about the impact of climate change on agriculture. The case study from the Czech Republic presents methods and results of environmental modelling of the impact of predicted climatic changes on future conditions for growing grapevines. The model is based on the ecological relationship between climate and vegetation zonation of the landscape and thus belongs to the group of process biogeographic models applicable on a regional scale. The results of the presented model show significant enlargement of areas climatically suitable for growing grapes within the studied area. The results of the model relevant to the Czech Republic are in line with the previous assumptions of trends in future impacts of climate change on viticulture in Europe. However, the data resulting from the presented model, which relate to the time horizon beyond 2050, should be regarded as indicative and fraught with a high degree of uncertainty linked with the uncertainty of the input climatological prediction for this time period.

The regional effects of climate change on forest ecosystems in the temperate climate zone of Europe can be modelled as shifts of forest vegetation zones in the landscape, northward and to higher elevations. This study applies a biogeographical model of climate conditions in the forest vegetation zones of the Central European landscape, in order to predict the impact of future climate change on the most widespread tree species in European deciduous forests—the European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.). The biogeographical model is supported by a suite of software applications in the GIS environment. The model outputs are defined as a set of conditions - climate scenario A1B by the Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES) for a forecast period, for a specified geographical area and with ecological conditions appropriate for the European beech, which provide regional scenarios for predicted future climatic conditions in the context of the European beech’s environmental requirements. These predicted changes can be graphically visualized. The results of the model scenarios for regional climate change show that in the Czech Republic from 2070 onwards, optimal growing conditions for the European beech will only exist in some parts of those areas where it currently occurs naturally. Based on these results, it is highly recommended that the national strategy for sustainable forest management in the Czech Republic be partly re-evaluated. Thus, the presented biogeographical model of climate conditions in forest vegetation zones can be applied, not only to generate regional scenarios of climate change in the landscape, but also as a support tool for the development of a sustainable forest management strategy.

Climate changes can affect both agriculture and forestry in Europe. This study deals with the results of the biogeographical model of predicted climate change impacts on agriculture in the Czech Republic. The results presented can be used to develop strategies for sustainable agriculture management. The model applied is based on the algorithmization of growing ecological conditions of some agricultural crops to the climate conditions of vegetation zones in the study area of the Czech Republic. The model involves a set of a special applications in the GIS. The modelling outputs suggest main trends in changes of climate conditions of vegetation zones of the landscape (gradual shift to higher altitudes and an increase of the area with the climate conditions of lower vegetation zones and a decrease of climate conditions of submontane and montane vegetation zones). These trends are discussed in the frame of sustainable agricultural management practice. The results can be applied not only for regional scenarios of climate change impacts, but also as a support tools for sustainable agriculture strategies on the regional level.
