| SatZones - SatZones - Identifikácia výnosových zón na poľnohospodárskych pozemkoch s využitím satelitných údajov | |
| SatZones - Satellite-based delineation of yield productivity zones for Slovak crop fields | |
| Program: | European Space Agency (ESA) |
| Project leader: | Mgr. Kenderessy Pavol, PhD. |
| Annotation: | The delineation of "quasi homogenous" management zones is the basis of the precision agriculture (PA) practices, addressing the within-field variability of crop status and crop yield. Many ground-based methods exist for the delineation of management zones, though, due to the complexity and costs, they are not commonly applied in Slovak agricultural sector. On the other hand, cost-effective satellite-based approaches for identifying so-called yield productivity zones have been recently introduced. Yield productivity zones represent highly productive, respectively less productive zones within field parcels. In particular, the time-series approaches using satellite-based vegetation indices with relevant spatial and temporal resolutions (e.g. Sentinel2 or Landsat products) may identify stable recurring crop status patterns, resulting in identifying yield productivity zones. Though many services exist based on a user request basis, a "broad-scale full coverage" delivery of yield productivity zones in an automated manner is still rare. We aim to develop such a system to enhance satellite-based (later referred as EO based) agricultural services for "literally" 61 000 field parcels, a substantial number of Slovak farmers, and finally for the all ”digital farming” industry.The main technical objective of the project is development of the automated processor for creation of yield productivity zones at broader scale. Furthermore, EO-based service for farmers based on this processor will be designed. The end goal of the proposal is enhancement of the EO-based services for agriculture and precision farming. |

| Danube River Research and Management in Slovakia and Austria | |
| Program: | European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) |
| Project leader: | Mgr. Kenderessy Pavol, PhD. |
| Annotation: | The aims are to establish joint research facilities, to enhance knowledge transfer and to develop innovative monitoring and modelling tools in the SK-AT border region. By enhancing knowledge transfer and capacity building between research bodies and universities, the project will lead to an improved cooperation and exchange of expertise between research and innovation actors using newly constructed and upgraded research infrastructures (RI). New monitoring stations as well as innovative monitoring techniques (e.g. operative boat) and modelling tools concerning hydrodynamics, sediment transport, morphodynamics, ecological parameters and remote sensing technologies in river and wetland science will lead to high quality and comparable data derived at the Danube River in the project reaches (cross border region and adjacent reaches). A guidance document of monitoring and modelling tools will be published and available for the target groups. In SK (VÚVH) the hydraulic engineering laboratory (discharge 1,5 m³/s) will be modernized and upgraded according to the state of the art together with laboratory of geoinformatics and advanced river remote sensing (ILE SAS). In AT a hydraulic engineering laboratory will be constructed with 10 m³/s free flowing discharge. By using these RIs, the scientific basis for improving the Danube river management between Vienna and Bratislava will be developed, being available for target groups working in navigation, flood risk management, ecology, hydropower and drinking water supply. Furthermore, a close exchange of undergraduate and doctoral students and teachers between BOKU, VUVH and ILE SAS will be initiated and the research facilities will be jointly used for common teaching and research activities, also beyond the lifetime of the project. |

| Výskum a zachovanie biodiverzity v historických štruktúrach poľnohospodárskej krajiny Slovenska | |
| Research and maintaining of biodiversity in historical structures of agricultural landscape of Slovakia | |
| Program: | Bilateral - other |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Dobrovodská Marta, PhD. |
| Annotation: | The historical structures of agricultural landscape (HSAL) represent mosaics of small-scale arable fields and permanent agricultural cultivations which were not affected by the process of agricultural collectivization. They have irreplaceable ecological, cultural and historical value. They are a result of a long term, mutual relationship between man and the landscape. As main sources of local biodiversity, they are linked mainly to balks, margins of cross fields tracks, original meadows and pastures and after collectivization abandoned grass-grown former arable fields. These areas are now becoming rare and thus highly valuable in the European space. Since these areas are not at present a subject of special protection, there’s a high risk that in the near future, due to abandonment and subsequent forest succession and urban pressure, their decline or even irreversible loss is probable. Our project aims to resolve this problem by carrying out a thorough inventory and typologization of HSAL on the territory of whole Slovakia, coupled with detailed interdisciplinary research (research of vegetation, animals, ecological conditions and human society) in 3 representative pilot areas (Svätý Jur town, Liptovská Teplička village Hriňová town) and implementation of an proposed Strategy for protection and management of HSAL in these territories as well. |

| SCERES - Scenáre vývoja reprezentatívnych ekosystémov krajiny Slovenska v kontexte globálnych zmien | |
| Development scenarios of representative landscape ecosystems in the Slovak republic considering global changes | |
| Program: | Bilateral - other |
| Project leader: | Prof. RNDr. Izakovičová Zita, PhD. |
| Annotation: | The project is aimed at the elaboration of the new approach to nature protection, biodiversity and landscape stability. It proposes to vault over the component approach to nature protection based purely on the protection of life forms and its substitution by complex landscape-ecological approach based on the protection of nature and life by conservation and ensurance of sustainable use of all representative landscape systems of Slovakia in the context of global changes. The target of the subproject is to elaborate the methodological procedure for creation and evaluation of representative landscape ecosystems in order to elaborate the effective strategy of biodiversity protection and proposal of the management of sustainable use of representative landscape ecosystems (landscape types) of Slovakia (RLES) that will ensure the regular care of landscape in view of the present global changes in the landscape. A part of the subproject and an aim is to include „main actors“ into the process of protection and management of RLES, to increase their awareness with respect to the values of representative landscape types, their tasks and changes. The realization of the subproject is the concrete contribution to the implementation of the European Landscape Convention (European Council, 2000, no. 176). |

| Výskum biokultúrnych hodnôt krajiny | |
| Research of biocultural values of landscape | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Dobrovodská Marta, PhD. |
| Annotation: | Recently is increasing interest in research that can define habitats and landscape created by human culture and can determine ways that society uses to shape up its natural environment and is also shaped up by it (UNESCO 2007). Also is increasing demand for ensuring diversity in every dimension of life and its inclusion to political agenda. This requires revision of current strategy of biodiversity protection, which often omits highly rated areas in manused landscape and mostly focuses on protection of natural landscape. New concept of “biocultural diversity”, which points to connection between biological and cultural dimension of landscape, their interactions, connections, common development, threats and correlation with social and economical development of society, allows this change. The goal of the pilot project is to bring new qualitative and quantitative findings during the evaluation of connection between biological and cultural diversity and to define new principles of its protection. |

| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Mgr. Lieskovský Juraj, PhD. |
| Annotation: | The project is focused on identification and evaluation of changes in agricultural landscape (AL), which were after 2004 affected by the EU legislation in fields of agriculture, water protection and nature conservation. It is based on analysis of the EU policies as drivers of changes in AL. It will study types and intensity of use of AL on regional and local levels. The project combines methods of remote sensing (RS) and field research. RS will be used for timely obtaining information on AL. Also will be developed and tested innovative approaches and methods with use of new satellite sensors. In local scale will be studied impact of changes in use in AL on biodiversity. For biodiversity study were selected indication groups of vegetation, invertebrates (spiders, dragonflies) and vertebrates (amphibians, birds). Studied will be sites from which exist data from previous research, wetlands and newly evolved biotopes in AL. The final phase will be synthesis of current state and changes in AL and biodiversity. |

| Diverzita poľnohospodárskej krajiny a jej ekosystémové služby | |
| Diversity of agricultural landscape and its ecosystem services | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Ing. Špulerová Jana, PhD. |
| Annotation: | The project was focused on the evaluation of diversity of agricultural landscape and its ecosystem services in different types of representative landscapes of Slovakia. Attention was paid to extensively cultivated farmland and traditional agricultural landscapes, which are characterized by higher diversity of landscape pattern and by the presence of semi natural habitats that significantly contribute to the provision of ecological functions in thelandscape and provide multifunctional ecosystem services to society. The most important results of the project are contained in two publication: the article of Lieskovsky et al. (2015) devoted to changes in landscape diversity and abandonment, and a monograph dedicated to the traditional agricultural landscape (TAL) (Špulerová et al., 2017). The monograph present diversity of TAL in Slovakia as a type of agricultural landscape with high landscape diversity. The second part of the monograph points to the importance of the ecosystem services assessment and benefits of these diversified landscape structures that provide to society. Result shows, that TAL provide more ecosystem services by their diversified patterns. The study of Lieskovský et al. is highly cited (22 WOS citation) and was aimed to analyse the driving forces behind the accelerated abandonment of traditional agricultural landscapes. The study showed that abandonment occurs most intensively on steep slopes and on less fertile soils. The distance from settlements and the financial profit are the other drivers of abandonment.References:LIESKOVSKÝ, Juraj - BEZÁK, Peter - ŠPULEROVÁ, Jana - LIESKOVSKÝ, Tibor - KOLEDA, Peter - DOBROVODSKÁ, Marta - BÜRGI, Matthias - GIMMI, Urs.

| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Mgr. Kenderessy Pavol, PhD. |
| Annotation: | The project aims to assess the changes of selected soil properties depending on the different forms and intensity of agricultural land cultivation. The research will take place in localities with the character of traditional agricultural landscapes (the assumption of extensive farming) and for comparison in places with the same conditions but with a different, conventionally farmed land (intensive management after the collectivization). Changes in soil properties will be evaluated based on comparison of results of filed survey and analysis of historical data from the database of the Complex Soil Survey (VÚPOP). The results will be interpreted in relation to selected soil functions. These functions will be defined in terms of their abilities to provide selected ecosystem services based on CICES classification (The Common International Classification of Ecosystem Services). |

| Annotation: | Significance of natural, semi-natural and cultural ecosystems in agricultural landscape for biodiversity protection is multiplex. The unique islands of species-rich plant and animal communities are represented by historicalstructures of agricultural landscape (HSAL), that play an important role in water retention and the prevention of soil erosion – both important with respect to climatic changes. Many ecosystem services and function are provided by these ecosystems, which bring benefits for society. They have irreplaceable ecological, cultural andhistorical value.Due to deficient ecosystem valuation as well as scarce scientific data documenting significance and services of these habitats in agrarian landscape, decline or even irreversible loss of biodiversity linked to such specificbiotopes will be the result. The project is aimed to bring new quantitative and qualitative scientific knowledge, which can be applied in decision processes or for implementation of international convention |

| Annotation: | The aim of the project is to elaborate the existing and new methodological procedures of selected appropriate/functional landscape features on the basis of interpretation of abiotic, biotic and socio-economic indices. Purposeful landscape features give information about he conditions and mood of land use, possible reactions of the landscape on external impulses or sensitivity of the landscape on the changes caused by human activities etc. Some areas react to environmental changes more sensitively while primary landscape features gain different character. A component of the project is the verification of interpretational procedure of creation of purposeful landscape features in selected model areas in agricultural, urbanized and forest/recreational landscape or in the whole area of Slovakia. Appropriate features can express the measure of functioning of natural processes in the landscape, degree of landscape changes etc. The process of landscape-ecological interpretation is a significant criterion in the decision-making processes applied in the proposal of ecological landscape use. |

| Annotation: | In sense of the European strategy of sustainable development (2001) the development of rural areas means theinterconnection of the principles of economic growth, environmental protection and social inclusion. According tothe Charter of European Regional Planning (1983) rural regions have mainly agricultural and ecostabilizingfunction. The support of the development directs to the development of productive functions with a balancedproportion of non-productive (landscape forming) functions. The aim of this project is to elaborate newtheoretical-methodological procedures of the integrated development of rural areas with the concentration onecotourism in selected representative model areas of Slovakia. So the new methodological procedures ofintegrated development of rural areas will be the basis of creation of simplified ecological models ofdevelopment that will be possible to implement to the development planning documents of the Slovak Republic. |
