| CLIMASTEPPE - Riešenia pre klimaticky vhodné poľnohospodárstvo v suchých stepných oblastiach Ruska | |
| Solutions for climate-smart land use in the dry steppes of Russia | |
| Program: | ERANET |
| Project leader: | Mgr. Lieskovský Juraj, PhD. |
| Annotation: | The Russian dry steppes is a region where the negative impacts of climate change are heavily projected. Also, it is a region where adoption of climate-smart agriculture may allow reducing the negative impacts of climate change, cut the Greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions and result in defragmentation of steppes. After 1991 economy restructuring resulted in massive agricultural land abandonment and the restoration of steppes. Recent plans about recultivation of steppes underscore the importance to evaluate the trade-offs between agricultural expansion and ecosystem services. The ultimate goal of the project is to assess the ability of the Russian dry steppes to mitigate negative projections of climate change by adopting climate-smart agriculture. |

The overall objective of the proposed activities and deliverables is to strengthen capacities of national authorities to further improve and share the data on internationally designated areas with quality assurance/quality control standards comparable with European Environmental Agency (EEA) and the World database on protected areas (WDPA). Developing the relational database helps partner countries to meet also international reporting obligations and requirements, for instance, to the Bern Convention, the Convention of Biological Diversity and its Aichi targets, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) etc. Given that, the specific objectives of the project are:• strengthening of the national authorities’ capacity in collecting biodiversity data and information for the reporting on the conservation status of species and habitats of European importance to the Bern Convention in 2019• supporting the designation cycle of new proposed areas to the Emerald network by providing sufficiency assessments to enable the countries to meet the Aichi strategic goal C target 11 and SDG-15To achieve these objectives, one reporting workshop and two biogeographical seminars will be organised. The reporting workshop will offer the possibility for the national experts to share their experiences and challenges at the regional level, both in content reporting and in using the reporting tool. The biogeographical seminars will be focused to scientific assessment of the sufficiency of the proposed and candidate Emerald sites to protect a) birds in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, and 2) habitats and non-bird species in Belarus, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine. The project should also ensure the helpdesk - the assistance to the country teams related to the reporting on species and habitats conservation status, making use of the Resolution 8 reporting tool. |

| Syntéza štúdií vplyvu inštitucionálnych zmien a zmien krajinnej pokrývky a využitia krajiny na uhlík, biodiverzitu a poľnohospodárstvo po rozpade Sovietskeho Zväzu | |
| Synthesis of Studies on Institutional Change and LCLUC Effects on Carbon, Biodiversity, and Agriculture After the Collapse of the Soviet Union | |
| Program: | Multilateral - other |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Halada Ľuboš, CSc. |
| Annotation: | Major institutional changes occurred throughout Eastern Europe and European Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, and the expansion of the EU in 2004 and \'07, resulting resulted in substantial land cover and land use change. NASA-funded case studies led by members of our proposal team have highlighted the magnitude of these land changes. However, these case studies have not been synthesized, and we lack comprehensive datasets of land change, analysis of its economic and institutional drivers, and assessments of its environmental effects. Our first goal is to utilize recent advances in remote sensing science to a) map wall-to-wall decadal land change from Landsat data across Eastern Europe and European Russia, and b) conduct in-depth analyses of higher temporal resolution land change for dense time stacks of selected footprints. Our prior case studies highlighted that land changes were highly heterogeneous in space suggesting that economies and institutions were important drivers of land change. However, how economic, policy, and institutional changes - and their legacies – affected land change is not clear. Our second goal is to understand the economic, policy and institutional drivers of land change across Eastern Europe and European Russia. Similarly, case studies by our team and others provide strong evidence for substantial effects of land change on agriculture, forestry, carbon pools and fluxes, and biodiversity. The additional remote sensing analyses outlined above would allow us to take the research on these effects to a new level, and make comprehensive assessments across Eastern Europe. Our third goal is to assess the effects of land change on agriculture, forestry, carbon, and biodiversity across Eastern Europe and European Russia. The main outcome will be a synthesis of prior research on land change in Eastern Europe. Our prior research puts us in a unique position to provide three important outcomes: a) consistent maps of land change across Eastern Europe; b) analyses of the policy, economic and institutional drivers of the land changes that occurred; and c) assessments of land change effects on agriculture, forestry, carbon, and biodiversity. Land use is the principal driver of global environmental change. Twenty years after the Soviet Union, and ten years after the start of NEESPI and of numerous research projects in the region, we now have a unique opportunity to synthesize findings and extract more general patterns. We propose to conduct such a synthesis and make a major contribution to our understanding of human-natural systems, and land use science. |

| Program: | Multilateral - other |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Halada Ľuboš, CSc. |
| Annotation: | The project aims in use of the knowledge of past conditions and assessment of changes for better understanding of the present environmental conditions. This historical perspective is helpful when predicting how the environment at a location may change in the future, given certain scenarios. Rather than addressing a single specific research question, the project is designed as and an umbrella project under which a set of sub-projects is running. Although these run separately, they share some features in common. They utilise historical sources of information dating back at least 20 years and compare these with present day information, in order to better understand such things as past environmental conditions, past human utilisation of land, rates of change in certain parameters, how the past explains present environmental observations. They involve one or more partners of the ALTER-Net network, bring together young and old generations of researchers, ‘natural’ and ‘social’ scientists and generate an output - either published paper or new datasets, accessible photographic resources and educational resources. Each sub-project team should produce a report describing the study and the results, and explaining how the results could be applied to (a) further studies of the site and (b) similar sites / habitats / landscapes. |

| 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. |

| 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). |

| Annotation: | By using natural resources, ecosystem services and activities, man directly or indirectly affects the naturalenvironment and the quality of its components, within a time and space framework. The extent and intensity ofhuman influence on the landscape has been changing over the centuries, depending on current period. Toidentify the degree of human influence on the landscape, it is essential to get know the original landscape, whichhas not been significantly affected by man. As such, a landscape no longer exists in the Central Europe; it needsto be scientifically reconstructed in some way. The aim of the project is to reconstruct the landscape, in modelareas representing selected types of the Slovak landscape, in several periods of historical and archaeologicalpast and to evaluate the consequences of human activities in them. It is important to analyse the relationshipbetween man and his environment over the time. |

| Ecological Analyses of Landscape Acculturation in Slovakia since Early Prehistory until Today | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Mgr. Piscová Veronika, PhD. |
| Annotation: | Human impact on landscape of Slovakia is manifested more markedly since the Neolithic period (New StoneAge). Acculturation processes such as mutual adoption and merging different cultures and process of social andcultural changes accompany people throughout their history and reflect on the environment (Škvarna, 2007). Thehuman impact on the landscape may appear at first positive, but it may have a negative influence on the natureitself and finally on people as well (Erten, Van Deb Berg, Weissing 2007). For this reason, it is important toanalyze the impact of landscape changes on people and also on natural ecosystems. The aim of this project is toreconstruct the landscape in several periods of historical and archaeological past and to evaluate theconsequences of human activity in the model areas. An important role will be played by the confrontation of theevolution of settlement and vegetation changes in the territories in the same chronological sections. |

| Changes in Slovak Landscape Driven by European Union Agricultural Policy | |
| 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. |

| 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.

| 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). |

| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Ing. Špulerová Jana, PhD. |
| 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. |

| Project leader: | Mgr. Halabuk Andrej, PhD. |
| Annotation: | In the proposed project, we focus on the effect of warming and nitrogen (N) deposition on carbon (C)sequestration, vegetation and N leaching in the model ecosystem of alpine meadows that are very sensitive tomentioned global change. Warming can exert a complex effect on microbial activity, nutrient availability and netecosystem production (NEP). Increased N deposition can further contribute to a complex interaction amongecosystem processes leading to many discrepancies in ecosystem responses and uncertain contribution to Csequestration. We would like to enrich the knowledge of warming and N deposition effects on key components ofNEP including net primary production, litter decomposition rates, soil respiration, N mineralization, N availability,plant N uptake as well as individual plant species response and impact on vegetation structure. The studiedeffects will be simulated using open top chambers and N fertilization in the field conditions. |
