PHysically-Based Integrated Soil HEalth Simulation Platform
Provider: HORIZON EUROPE
Recipient: Ústav výzkumu globální změny AV ČR, v. v. i.
Keywords: Soil science, Environment, Pollution & Climate
Annotation of project:
PHISHES aims to bridge the missing link between data on soil health and actions for the safeguard of soils. This missing link entails predictive capability in terms of the consequences of actions on the provision of soil functions and associated ecosystem services, taking into account soil use, soil contamination and various drivers such as climate change. Hence the primary scientific question addressed in PHISHES is: “How do soil use and soil contamination influence soil functions and associated ecosystem services, in the presence of major drivers such as climate change, and how can we predict the impacts of mitigation and adaptation measures?”. While most research teams address this question in a qualitative / semi-quantitative fashion, using, e.g., multicriteria analysis and indicators of soil health, the ambition of PHISHES is to provide quantitative predictive capability via a PHISHES Digital Platform. To achieve this, PHISHES will build upon several pre-existing integrated simulation tools; in particular the MIKE SHE model that provides a flexible framework for integrated hydrologic modelling and the DAISY model, a well-tested mechanistic agro-ecological model of the soil-plant-atmosphere system. The efficient coupling between such models will significantly enhance the ability to assess the impact of changes in land use on soil ecosystem services. It will serve to assess the influence of various actions on soil services; i.e., sustainable agricultural practices (e.g., hedge rows to retain moisture and reduce erosion; no-till agriculture, crop rotation, ...), of land restoration / remediation solutions (e.g., nature-based solutions), pollution prevention solutions, etc. The results of the scenario simulations will be tranlated into recommendations regarding policies aimed at preserving soil health and promoting soil functions and associated ecostem services. The PHISHES consortium brings together competencies from soil science to hydrology and policy making.

Annotation of project:
The forest ecosystem provides a variety of irreplaceable functions, playing a significant role in the stability of all ecosystems on Earth. Currently, we observe a range of changes both at the level of abiotic environmental conditions and biotic factors, which have a negative impact on the forest environment. One of the main changes is the extension of the vegetation season (VS) associated with the shortening or interruption of the dormant period. Currently, there are several methods for evaluating VS; however, a unified method for automated determination of VS is still lacking. One of the most commonly used methods is based on spectral vegetation indices (VI) derived from remote sensing data, especially satellite data. The current trend in remote sensing allows the use of data with higher spatial and temporal resolution, thereby obtaining a time series of VI, which increases the accuracy of seasonal VI trajectories or determination of the length of VS. Within the biomonitoring network DendroNetwork, a completely unique measurement of sub-crown PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) sensors has been developed, which will allow refining VS or the growing season. The aim of the project is the automated evaluation of VS using analytical approaches implemented in the web platform EnviLAB in accordance with ground monitoring and remote sensing products to create fully automated evaluation of VS, which will be presented on the EnviLAB web platform for both professional and lay public. Maps can be used for timely evaluation of the impacts of climate change on forest ecosystems and for proposing adaptation strategies for forest cultivation in the Czech Republic.

Keywords: Wildfire risk, climate change
Annotation of project:
Wildfire CE’s primary objective is to enable border regions, the communities and landscapes within them, to prepare, respond and adapt to the increasing wildfire risk resulting from climate change. The project will change the way we assess and manage fire risk in the border regions and the wider territories. Through cooperation across borders, sharing knowledge and experience it will lead to a more integrated, targeted and inclusive approach in dealing with this increasing threat. Until now, the management of wildfire risk has been conducted at the territorial level, with mismatched approaches to fire warning levels, land management and communication of risk. The mapping of fuels and propagation potential is seldom conducted at the territorial level, let alone across borders. WildfireCE will map these fuels, fire behaviour and propagation potential across borders, it will identify where actions are necessary, what those actions are and it will implement those actions in Pilot Regions. Total project budget: €2.25 million (80% co-financed by the Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE 2021-2027 programme ERDF)

System for production analysis and prognosis of small renewable energy power plants with respect to variable meteorological quantities
Provider: Technologická agentura ČR
Coordinating recipient: Ústav výzkumu globální změny AV ČR, v. v. i.
Another participant in the project: Amper Savings, a.s.
Keywords: modelling techniques; renewable energy; meteorology
Annotation of project:
The aim of the project proposal is to create a methodology needed to account for not registered small renewable energy plants on the Czech republic territory. In order to achieve this goal, we propose to create a software that will be able to utilize measured data from the energy sector and meteorology and process them into a reconstruction of the past energy production. An integral part of this SW shall be a database of collected input data and results. On the basis of these data, it will be possible to simulate future electricity production assuming various scenarios of installed capacity changes. This tool will be capable of performing simulations under different weather conditions. Finally, a certified methodology defining the use of these data and SW in the practice will be created.

Coordinating recipient: Ústav výzkumu globální změny AV ČR, v. v. i.
Another participant in the project: Amper Savings, a.s.
Keywords: weather phenomena; distribution and the transmission system; power supply outages
Annotation of project:
The main goal of the project is to establish and refine the current ERÚ methodology for assessing weather phenomena that can lead to breakdowns in distribution and the transmission system. Meteorological situations that lead to these disturbances will be determined and their intensity will also be investigated with respect to subsequent outages. In addition, meteorological parameters or data will be determined according to which it can be established that the given fault really occurred as a result of adverse weather. The project will also propose a database system that should be created for these purposes in the future, taking into account what data and quantities it should contain, both in a minimalistic version and in the maximum version with regard to financial and technical demands.

Another participant in the project: Povodí Moravy s.p.
Keywords: levees; remote sensing; arial analysis; inundation and watercourses
Annotation of project:
The aim of the proposed project is to provide methodological support for the assessment of the possibilities of reconnecting the disused parts of the floodplain to the watercourse and their use for flooding, including the revitalisation measures often proposed at present. The methodology will be based on a multidisciplinary approach to the collection and evaluation of historical and current data. It will use different spatial scale, from the whole catchment to detailed local study as a basis for the design of the measures and will include the views of experts and the local community. The results of the project will support the activities of the river basin manager in improving the natural condition of the floodplains while maintaining the water management functions of the system.

More With a fresh fizz and hoppy scent, a cold beer is a drink that touches all of our senses. But as our climate changes, so too might the flavour profile of one of the world’s most popular drinks.
With its satisfying, tantalising flavour, few drinks evoke as familiar a feeling as a freshly poured beer. “It’s not only bitter, it’s not only sweet, it almost invites you to a next sip, and that’s a very difficult quality to describe,” says Mirek Trnka, a researcher at the Global Change Research Institute Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.
The flavour of beer is created by a complex symphony of chemical compounds from three ingredients; hops, yeast and malted barley. But now climate change is threatening the production of two of those – barley and hops. Trnka and his colleagues say that the traditional crops that brewers rely on to create beer – called noble hops – will become “more difficult to grow”.
