| 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: | RNDr. Barančok Peter, CSc. |
| Annotation: | GLORIA, the "Global Observation Research Initiative in Alpine Environments", is an initiative towards an international research network to assess climate change impacts on mountain environments. A standardised sampling design, such as GLORIA\'s Multi-Summit approach described here, is required so that data from different mountain regions can be compared. The aim of the project “GLORIA Field campaign 2008” was to provide detailed and complex research on the established GLORIA summits and to compare the obtained data with the baseline data from the years 2000 and 2001, so to detect a possible change. The research was realised on the base of “GLORIA Field manual - Multi-summit approach” and “Guidelines for the GLORIA-Europe resurvey 2008 - Amendment to the GLORIA Field Manual, 4th version” Additionally, two new methodical approaches were realised. The first, “California method” is used for more detailed quantitative analysis and description of species composition on summit area sections. The second, “Atmospheric deposition of nitrogen oxides” was used for measuring of atmospheric nitrogen deposition during the recording period. The nitrogen dioxide passive diffusion tubes were used for this purpose. |

| Changes in landscape diversity and biodiversity in mountain and alpine areas of the Western Carpathians | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Barančok Peter, CSc. |
| Annotation: | The Western Carpathians cover a significant part of Slovakia. The country is characterised by mountain and alpine areas with their typical landscape structure with various representation of forest and non-forest habitats. Natural and anthropogenic conditioned factors play a significant role in formation of the landscape character. The processes in the natural environment constantly influence landscape diversity and biodiversity, and nowadays, anthropogenic impacts are more and more significant. The project focuses on the assessment of landscape and biodiversity changes in selected areas affected by the effects of natural and anthropogenous stress factors in different time periods. Attention will be paid to the differentiation of landscape diversity and biodiversity changes that were caused by the natural development of the landscape, global factors impact, and the influence of man in the country. Anthropogenic impact will be assessed from the point of view of man`s historical activity in the country, the way and intensity of the land use, to the present-day impact affecting the overall status of the natural environment. |

Starting from the evaluation of landscape ecological significance (LES) elements LAND COVER by biodiversity, ecosystems aesthetic value (EAV), cultural-historical significance of cultural heritage (CHAS). The basis is the mapping of the actual state and characteristics of the elements of the current landscape cover (LAND COVER) of the urban environment of Bratislava, which we processed under the legend CORINE Land Cover Technical Quide - Addendum 2000 (Bossard, Feranec, Oťahl, 2000) on 3rd, 4th, and 5th hierarchical level. The representation of the landscape cover classes is processed in vector form, resulting from the synthesis of the thematic and relevant layers contained in the ZB GIS, supplemented by a licensed current installation derived from orthophotomaps from aeronautical imaging. 2015 (EUROSENSE, s.r.o.2015). These were complemented by a terrain research in 2014-2017, 2018. This year we processed 8 cadastres within the model territory of Bratislava. The aim is the proposal of diversified ecological forms and species of tourism (ECOTUR), which take into account the ecosystems benefits and the social value of the original habitats and cultural-historical objects. Part of the ECOTUR models will be the elaboration of measures and regulatives with possibility implementation in strategy documents. |

| Ekologická optimalizácia využívania zosuvných území vo vybraných častiach flyšového pásma, so zreteľom na ich tradičné obhospodarovanie | |
| Ecological optimization of the utilization of landslide areas in selected parts of the flysch zone in regard to the traditional farming | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Barančoková Mária, PhD. |
| Annotation: | The occurrence of landslides in the flysch zone of the Western Carpathians has conditioned the utilization of landscape from the beginning of the settlement. Places that have not been affected by the construction processeswere used according to the needs of the agricultural population. Each intervention had an impact on thedevelopment of coenosis thereby creating specific habitats with high variability. This was so not only because ofnatural specificities of individual localities, but also due to diversity of management habits and skills in dispersed settlements (called "kopanice"). Slope deformations represent geofactor, which significantly affects the quality of the environment.The project aims to develop a methodology of assessment of landslide areas in flysch environment and their use in traditional farming, the application of this methodology in selected areas and suggestions for ecological optimization of utilization. |

| 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.

| EKOMODEL - Ekologický model rozvoja cestovného ruchu na základe hodnotenia lokalizačných a realizačných predpokladov krajiny s využitím nástrojov GIS a kvantifikačných metód. | |
| The ecological model of tourism development based on assessment of localization and realization assumptions of landscape with use of GIS tolls and quantitation methods | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Krnáčová Zdena, PhD. |
| Annotation: | Tourism development is determined by many factors. Localizational assumptions of natural and anthropogenic sphere, i.e. cultural-historical assumptions, are the most significant factors which are an object of this project. Realization factors, which include tourism infrastructure, represent indispensable development factors. Together, they compose spatial functional-chorological landscape units which are usually related to microregion or region. Functional-chorological approach to assessment of tourism assumptions enables more apposite arrangement of territorial model of tourism. Thus, it creates complex view on system of relations between tourism and landscape, and is methodical base for creation of ecological models of tourism development. Ecological approach consists inselection and application of procedures aimed at assessment of assumptions for development but also in proposal of suitable forms and activities of tourism for selected naturally, culturally and historically valuablelandscape segments. |

| Identification of purposive landscape features as the basis of landscape ecological research | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Prof. RNDr. Hrnčiarová Tatiana, CSc. |
| 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. |
