Recent policy changes allowed for more widespread use of PVE installations with capacity of up to
50 kW or even more. These installations fit roofs of family houses, small businesses and similar
places. Its potential power generation is higher than their consumption during clear sky
conditions and so it flows into power grid. By contrast, during overcast weather or in winter they
still need to acquire power from outside power traders. This complicates power scheduling and
planning for traders and could lead to deficits/surpluses within Czech national power grid. So, our
proposal aims at creating an SW solution predicting the complex behavior of this client category,
which is also prone to more active behavior in the power market.

Integrated strategies for reservoirs to maintain water quality under climate change
Provider: Ministerstvo zemědělství
Another participant in the project: Ústav výzkumu globální změny AV ČR, v. v. i.
Keywords: water quality; drinking water reservoirs; climate change; river basin management
Annotation of project:
Climate scenarios say the hydrolog. balance in Central Europe will worsen during the 21st century. Prolonged growing seasons and adaptive measures will lead to higher evapotranspiration, decrease in baseflow, extreme events will rise. This will lead to reduced dilution of treated wastewater and impacts on water supply reservoirs (WSR). The aim of the project is to (i) categorize the threats to all WSR in Czechia by combining remote sensing and insitu data; (ii) apply complex hydrodynamic and hydrochem. models on key WSR (Švihov, Vír, Vrchlice) and prepare an estimate of water quality parameters of WSR; (iii) link these parameters with remote sensed data to estimate water quality at any WSR in Czechia; (iv) predict w. quantity and quality of WSR for future climat. conditions.

MIcroalage fortification by the means of evolutionary optimization
Provider: Technologická agentura ČR
Recipient: Ústav výzkumu globální změny AV ČR, v. v. i.
Keywords: zinc hyperaccumulation; microalgae biomass; dietary supplement; biotechnology industry; evolutionary algorithms; strains laboratory evolution
Annotation of project:
The first goal of the project is an evolutionary optimization of a new production line of minerals hyperaccumulating microalgae for application in the biotechnology industry. The application potential of optimized microalgae is diverse and ranges from solving environmental problems, such as purification of contaminated or waste water, through the ecological removal and use of mineral elements from specific sources or matrices, to improving health and increasing the quality of food for both humans and farm animals. Within the framework of the proposed project, we will focus on the application in nutraceuticals by formulation of human food supplements from zinc-enriched microalgae of the genus Chlorella, which represents the second goal of the project.

Promoting sustainable agriculture for pollinators

Another participant in the project: Ústav výzkumu globální změny AV ČR, v. v. i.
Keywords: xxx
Annotation of project:
Threats to pollinators and pollination services that support agriculture and provide benefits to people are a worldwide problem. AGRI4POL’s ambition is to assist the transition of agriculture from being a pressure on pollinators to becoming a positive force for managing and restoring pollinator biodiversity, crop pollination services, and co-benefits to ecosystems and people. To achieve this transition towards more pollinator friendly farming systems and value chains, AGRI4POL will advance scientific understanding of crop-farming system-pollinator relationships from the crop gene to the agroecosystem. By evaluating the genetic basis of crop floral traits attracting and rewarding crop pollinators, we will identify candidate crop lines suitable for breeding future pollinator-smart varieties. We will study how pollinator-crop relationships are modified in space and time, by the diversity and rotation of crop species and varieties, by ecological infrastructure (EI) comprising landscape features and non-crop habitats, and by future climate or land-use change. Synthesising this information from the gene to agroecosystem scale will allow us to provide integrated recommendations for optimising landscapes for crop pollination, pollinator biodiversity and multiple ecosystem benefits. AGRI4POL research will be framed and supported by early and sustained multi-actor engagement along agri-food chains to assure its relevance and the acceptability of management options to farmers and society. This multi-actor approach will also enable assessments of the socio-economic and policy obstacles and opportunities affecting the feasibility and uptake of pollinator-friendly farming at [sub]national, European and international scales. AGRI4POL will therefore showcase to farmers, agri-food actors, policymakers and society the importance of pollinator-friendly farming to food security and sustainability goals (EC Green Deal, Nature Restoration Law; UN SDGs).

New insights on the current dynamics of forest growth in changing climatic and environmental conditions using modern technologies

Another participant in the project: Ústav výzkumu globální změny AV ČR, v. v. i.
Keywords: airborne_laser_scanning; forest_health; IoT; near-real_time monitoring; satellite_imagery
Annotation of project:
Forests are an important part of the Earth system, maintaining ecological balance and providing key ecosystem services. The main objective is to analyse the impact of different ecological determinants on current forest growth and to develop modern methods for near real-time monitoring and future prediction of tree growth dynamics under changing conditions. This will be achieved through the use of state-of-the-art technologies, including Internet of Things (IoT) and Remote Sensing (RS). The research will be carried out over a large area including Poland and the Czech Republic and will focus on two important tree species in Central Europe: Pinus sylvestris and Picea abies. The results will contribute to the development of new knowledge in forest ecology and forest growth modelling. We also expect new insights into the application of RS in forest ecosystem modelling. Developed predictive models based on recent and high temporal resolution data will provide a robust tool for reliable simulations of future forest growth dynamics under different climate change projections.

Just released the new issue of the CzechGlobe Newsletter
More Czech researchers have joined an international team proposing a novel approach to climate mitigation: harvesting parts of northern forests and transporting the wood via rivers to the Arctic Ocean, where it could lock carbon away for thousands of years. The plan aims to remove roughly one gigaton of carbon dioxide annually, equivalent to about a tenth of global yearly emissions.
The approach could supplement existing efforts to reduce fossil fuel emissions by providing an alternative carbon removal method. By using a process that already occurs naturally—fallen trees drifting into oceans—scientists hope to expand carbon storage without creating entirely artificial infrastructure.
The researchers focus on coniferous forests in Siberia and North America, including the Ob, Yenisei, Lena, Yukon, and Mackenzie river basins. These forests collectively store an estimated 100 gigatons of carbon. Harvesting just 1 percent of this area, around 180,000 square kilometers, and channeling the wood to the Arctic could capture one gigaton of carbon dioxide per year.
