Urban Exploration (URBEX) is a relatively recent leisure activity that is directly related to the exploration of abandoned and unused objects and areas, collectively referred to as brown- fields. This survey of modern ruins is conducted for private purposes only, for the purpose of photo-documentation or video-visualization and their sharing within the community or presentation to the public. Due to the fact that the properties visited in this way are owned by other entities and there is often a real risk of damage to property and health, it is necessary to identify those legal aspects of URBEX that normatively regulate the relationship of both parties concerned. The aim of this paper is to define, within the framework of Czech legal standards, the rights and obligations of the property owner, which flow for them in connection with the realization of URBEX on real estate that is his property.

Th e paper contains the evaluation of 9 European black pine provenances on the research trial No. 41 – Roblín (Czech Republic) at the age of 51 years. Th e tested provenances originated from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Greece, France and Slovakia. Th e evaluation is based on an assessment of following factors: total height, dbh, stem form, health state, defoliation, diameter of main branches, stem damage, crown density, twisted growth, stem nature pruning, cross-section, and taper. Obtained data sets were statistically analysed. Th e best growth both in quantitative and qualitative traits was recognised for the provenance 9 – Les Barres, Oise (France), which was excellent in height growth, health status and stem shape, and also for the Serbian provenance 2 – Crni Vrh, Titovo Užice, which excelled not only in growth rate, stem shape and health status, but also in diameter of main branches. Less suitable provenance seem to be 3 – Prušačka Rjeka, Banja Luka from Bosnia and Herzegovina (worse growth, stem nature pruning, cross-section and taper) and Croatian 5 – Južna Kandija, Osijek (worse growth, stem shape, and health). Th e most important for explaining the diff erences between provenances were the diameter at the breast height, crown density and defoliation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper provides a comparison of the growth of 13 domestic provenances of European beech on long-term research plots in Bohemia (No. 149 Křivoklát, No. 150 Konopiště) and in South Moravia (No. 153 Bučovice) evaluated at the age of 18 and 20 years, respectively. The plots are part of an originally 14-member series, founded in 1995. The total heights and diameters at breast height of all growing beeches were measured and subsequently mortality, stem volume and hectare growing stock were determined. From among phenotypic characteristics, the stem shape and stem forking were visually evaluated. The mean survival rate of provenances was significantly higher in the plots situated in Bohemia (67% in No. 149 and 64% in No. 150) in comparison with South Moravia (No. 153), where only 46% of the original number of planted beeches survived. On the other hand, beech provenances grow more slowly in Bohemia than in South Moravia. At the Bohemian plots, the mean growth was significantly smaller in Křivoklát (plot No. 149) than in Konopiště (plot No. 150). Although local provenances mostly had a higher survival rate, growing stock, and partially also morphological quality, some of them stand out in this respect. Presented results thus do not fully comply with the current national rules for the transfer of forest reproductive material. Since the beginning of the millennium the transfer of forest reproductive material has been attached to the natural forest areas (PLOs) in the Czech Republic. Their number (41) and limited sizes have fostered an internal debate about merging adjacent, ecologically close natural forest areas (PLOs) into broader regions of provenance where transfer of reproductive material would not be restricted horizontally (e.g. Hynek 2000; Šindelář 2003, 2004; Kotrla et al. 2019, 2020a, 2020b; Kubů 2020; Novotný et al. 2020). Historically, this approach was applied in the Czech Republic in the form of so-called Seed Areas (SOs), which were established for Norway spruce, Scots pine and European larch by the Guidelines for approving and maintaining basic materials and transfer of forest reproductive material (Směrnice 1988), and the Decree No. 82/1996 Coll. They were proposed also for other tree species. For European beech, Pospíšil (1964), Šindelář (1985) and Hynek (1990, 2000) proposed two areas: 1) Hercynian-Sudeten and 2) Carpathian SO. Šindelář (1985), in addition, defined so-called districts, where the remnants of autochthonous beech populations were to be protected from genetic contamination from the outside. In a later proposal, however, Hynek (2000) defined a total of eleven SOs for beech, maintaining the principle of “districts” in the form of so-called core PLOs (8a – Křivoklátsko, 8b – Bohemian Karst, 13 – Šumava, 21a – Jizera Mountains, 27 – Hrubý Jeseník Mountains, 30b – Moravian Karst, 36 – Central Moravian Carpathians, 38 – White Carpathians and Vizovické Hills, 40 – Moravian-Silesian Beskydy Mountains, 41 – Hostýnsko-vsetínské Hills and Javorníky Mountains), into which the transfer of non-indigenous reproductive material should not be allowed. Regarding the allowable vertical transfer generally by ± 1 forest vegetation zone (LVS), an exception of no transfer of reproductive material from other LVS into the 7th LVS was proposed. Recent working proposal for the amendment of the existing Decree No. 139/2004 Coll. (Kotrla et al. 2020a) returns to two broader areas of provenance: I – Hercynian (PLO 1–34) and II - Carpathian (PLO 35–41), assuming a possibility of one-way transfer of reproductive material from the area II to area I, and a possibility of reciprocal transfers between neighbouring PLOs along the border of the areas I and II. Our study covers the series of three research provenance plots established in different natural conditions (Tab. 1) on which a total of 7 Czech and 6 Moravian beech provenances from different altitudinal vegetation zones (LVS 3–7) were planted (Tab. 2). Individual plots were established in a randomized complete block design with 4 random replicates of experimental variants. On individual experimental lots (parcels) with a size of 10 m × 10 m, 50 beech individuals were planted in a 2 m × 1 m spacing. Measurements on the plots No. 149 and No. 150 took place at the age of 18 years, on the Moravian plot No. 153 at the age of 20 years. From the quantitative indicators, the heights and diameters at breast height of all living trees were determined, from which the stem volumes under bark and respective growing stocks per hectare were calculated. An ultrasonic hypsometer Vertex III (accuracy 0.1 m) was used to measure the heights while the breast height diameters were measured with a millimetre calliper. Besides, the survival rates of provenances, stem shapes (scale: 1 – straight, 2 – slightly unilaterally curved, 3 – markedly unilaterally curved or bent several times) and stem forking (1 – continuous stem, 2 – one fork, 3 – repeatedly forked, done only at the plot No. 153) were assessed. The relevant indices of qualitative traits were calculated as averages from numerical values assigned to individual trees at each parcel. The significance of differences between provenances was assessed using the Kruskal–Wallis analysis of variance and the subsequent Kruskal–Wallis post hoc test (Tab. 4). A summary overview of the values of all studied indicators is given in Tab. 3, and comparisons of the growth of provenances are presented in Fig. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. Overall survival rate was significantly higher at the plots No. 149 and No. 150 (67% and 64%, respectively) in Bohemia in comparison with the plot No. 153 situated in South Moravia (46%). In Bohemia, the provenances 1 Hluboká and 28 Lužná were the best ones in the plot No. 149 Křivoklát, while provenances 4 Karlovice and 15 Konopiště (local) were the best ones at the plot No. 150 Konopiště from the point of view of all monitored indicators. In Moravia (plot No. 153 Bučovice), local provenances 10 Buchlovice and 11 Bučovice were the best ones. Our results demonstrate that the response of beech provenances to the experimental transfer to different site conditions of individual research plots (Tab. 5) does not fully support current zoning rules (Decree No. 139/2004 Coll.), which are in favour of local reproductive material. Although local provenances (10, 11, 14, and 15, see Tab. 2) mostly had a higher survival rate, growing stock and partially also morphological quality, some of them stand out in this respect. In addition, several non-indigenous provenances perform very well in conditions where their transfer is not possible under current legislation. We admit that the experimental plantations are still young and exposure of provenances to local environments rather short. The results obtained so far, however, support and justify partial amendments to the existing regulatory rules. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents an evaluation of the public socio-economic importance of forest services in a municipal forest property, in terms of their relationship to the market in the Czech Republic (CR). The total investigated area of the forest property is 3,706.67 ha. The total annual socioeconomic value of its forest services amounts to 104.812 million CZK, capitalized to 5.241 billion CZK. Individual forest services contribute to these total values unevenly and quite differently from the average values in the country. The results confirmed the assumption that knowledge of the average values in the CR is not sufficient for assessment of ecosystem forest services´ value in particular forest property. Rolling results were passed on to the headquarters, representatives and the financial commission of the investigated municipality as well as presented in the municipal bulletin and to native and foreign visitors via annual reports on economic activities of the company of municipal forests. The results of the study lead to the recommendation of performing assessment of the socio-economic value of forest services in more forest properties so that needed sources for determination of goals of forest management in the CR are gained.

The paper deals with the regulation of personal names in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Based on data consisting of legal documents and on-line discussions, it focuses on two areas: (1) the historical development of the regulation and (2) its implementation. Employing the social force field model, the paper argues that despite partially independent development, the legal norms of both countries establish analogous social force fields. However, these fields may function in differing ways, as the norm authorities employ different types of codices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper publishes the first records of the occurrence of a native species Sonchus palustris and three alien species Eryngium giganteum, Inula ensifolia and Medicago orbicularis in South Bohemia. New localities of rare native or rare alien taxa and threatened or otherwise important taxa of the South Bohemian flora are reported and described: Carex otrubae, Ceratophyllum submersum, Cynodon dactylon, Dipsacus laciniatus, Erysimum cheiri, Erucastrum gallicum, Geranium macrorrhizum, Hieracium bifidum, Lathyrus nissolia subsp. pubescens, Rubus centrobohemicus, Sisymbrium orientale subsp. orientale, Sorghum bicolor, Thelypteris palustris and Trifolium fragiferum. For some of the species mentioned above, regional distribution or known localities are only updated or supplemented here. Particularly, the record of Verbena offi- cinalis near the village of Ratiborova Lhota in the Chvalšinské Předšumaví phytogeographical district was found to be wrong. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present paper deals with the simulation of the impact of selected measures of government reforms in the beef market in the Czech Republic. The selected measures of government reforms are defined and specified on the base of available resources in the introduction. Subsequently, these measures are simulated by the model of partial equilibrium of defined market in the practical part. The impacts of the measures on both supply and demand of selected market are then commented, based on formal econometric quantification and verification of model outputs. The analyzed government measures are included in the form of an expected increase in VAT, the movement of the Czech crown, the development of consumer income and the price expectancy in vertical of beef. The results predict negative consequences on domestic market, in particular on the supply side, in the form of a relatively significant reduction in the number of pieces of cattle. These can result in reducing the number of enterprises with intensive fattening or in shifting their focus to other commodities of vegetable nature. On the demand side, the analyzed measures are likely to bring short-term price reductions. However, the steep growth accompanied by a reduction in quality of meat products can be reasonable expected in the long run. Pieces of knowledge introduced in this paper resulted from solution of an institutional research intention MSMT 6046070906 „Economics of resources of Czech agriculture and their efficient use in frame of multifunctional agri-food systems“.

The paper is focused on the modeling of a partial equilibrium on the beef market in the Czech Republic. The goal of the paper is a construction and a quantification of a partial equilibrium model of mentioned trade, used for simulation purpose and enabling delimitation of main determinants of beef supply and demand. Data was gained from standard statistical reports of the Ministry of Agriculture and from Statistics of Households Accounts from the year 1995 - 2009. Proposed model respects three levels of beef chain — farmer, processer and consumer. Simultaneously, it respects trade flows on an open market. From the functional point of view, it respects nonlinearity of suppose relationships. The model was quantified by OLS with respects of recursive relationship between endogenous variables. The model is robust enough to be used for simulations. The paper resulted from contribution to an institutional research project MSM 6046070906. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
