| Restore4Life - Restore4Life - Obnova mokraďových komplexov ako systémov podporujúcich život v povodí Dunaja | |
| Restore4Life - Restoration of wetland complexes as life supporting systems in the Danube Basin | |
| Program: | Horizon Europe |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Halada Ľuboš, CSc. |
| Annotation: | Restore4Life demonstrates the multiple socio-economic benefits generated by a holistic and transdisciplinary approach for the restoration of freshwater and coastal wetlands in the Danube basin that will contribute to new blue-green infrastructure supporting regional climate change resilience and mitigation. Restore4Life engages in 4 demonstration sites and 6 monitoring sites all across the Danube basin to make evident that increased delivery of key ecosystem services, as water and pollutant retention, carbon sequestration and tourism opportunities as well as improved resilience of water-dependent habitats will produce multiple socioeconomic synergies that also provide opportunities for sustainable businesses and investments.Implementation of activities basically aiming to restore lateral connectivity in riverine corridors will be supported by a Restore4Life long term wetland restoration service/ Restore4Life Wetland Reconstruction Accelerator that combines timely integrative wetland management with a novel level of societal engagement. The Accelerator will provide tested indicators, monitoring approaches and decision support to identify adapted and future-oriented restoration goals, techniques and holistic road maps. Citizens and stakeholders will be empowered to engage in the co-design of projects by establishing stakeholder communities of practice, by twinning of similar projects at different realization stage, citizen science, thematic mobile apps and the use of multiple communication channels with special focus on visual, hands-on interactive information flow that promotes emotional links to water shaped environment. The various tools generated by Restore4Life also including handbooks for business audiences and targeted restoration roadmaps will secure the efficient replication of restoration activities in associated regions. In collaboration with similar mission activities, Restore4Life thus efficiently supports integrative social and economic transitions. |

| Ekologické analýzy akulturácie krajiny Slovenska od mladšieho praveku dodnes | |
| 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. |

| Zmeny poľnohospodárskej krajiny Slovenska vplyvom politík Európskej Únie | |
| 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. |

| Dôsledky ťažby Nováckeho uhoľného ložiska na krajinnú štruktúru, sociálno-ekonomický rozvoj obce Koš a biodiverzitu | |
| Brown coal mining in Novaky coal field and influence on landscape structure, socio-economic development of Koš village and biodiversity of Koš wetlands | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Doc. PaedDr. David Stanislav, PhD. |
| Annotation: | Nováky coal field mining is realised by Hornonitrianske bane Prievidza a. s., with mining prognosis up to 2020. Mining consequences are demonstrated by undermined area dropping, therefore it was included to Hornonitrianska endangered area. Majority of Koš village inhabitants was evicted. A new landscape phenomena are flooded depressions (the largest with the area 6 – 8 ha) with macrophytic vegetation – so-called Koš wetlands. Depressions are important for the surrounding agricultural landscape biodiversity. This is confirmed by preliminary results of vegetation, dragonfly and ornitofauna research. There will be landcape ecological and socio-economical aspects of Koš cadastre solved in suggested project. Importance of flooded depressions as a creating biodiversity centres in agricultural landscape will be evaluated by abiotic components field work (geology, soil, relief changes, hydrologic conditions and above-ground water quality) and by chosen biotic components (vegetation, dragonflies, amphibians, birds, small ground mammals). Historical and present landscape structure analysis and socio-economical potential analysis will be used for limits defining and for optimal use of Koš cadastre proposition. |
