Annotation of project:
The project addresses the lack of smart growth chambers with gas concentration control and direct automatic measurement of gas exchange between cultivated plants and the atmosphere, as well as the absence of automatic systems for long-term in-situ measurements of gas exchange between plant organs and atmosphere. These devices will find applications in the development of second generation biofuels, new crops and will serve for precision of ecosystems carbon balance estimates.

Annotation of project:
Project is based on development, testing and improvement of an instrument for nondestructive estimation of leaf area quantity (LAI) in forest tree stands and for solar radiation measurement in spectral range of photosynthetically active radiation (PhAR). LAI measurements are necessary for objective quantification of leaf area, which corresponds to a production potential of plants and also to its health status etc. PhAR measurements are needed for quantification of solar irradiation of plants.

Annotation of project:
The project is focused on development of spectral-optic sensors for simultaneous assessment of field crops nutrient status and stand structure. Problem solving is based on measurement of reflectance in several suitable wavelength ranges and using new spectral indexes providing separation of characteristics for nutrient status and stand density and elimination of their interrelationships.

The project aims to ivestigate practices which would enable to reduce the risk of nitrate losses from agricultural systems in water resource areas in the frame of the socio-economically appropriate limits. This will be achieved by linking field trials with airborne image spectroscopy. Practices will allow careful management in vulnerable water resource areas and will reduce the costs of drinking water treatment.Partial goals:- to prepare certified methodology for determining of nitrate losses in the certain soil depth- by compiling results from image spectroscopy methods in the area of interest and spectral characteristics of small-scale experiments to evaluate the heterogeneity of vegetation as a result of different nutritional regime of crops caused by the heterogeneous soil environment- to create a map of vulnerability of arable land by nitrate leaching and to formulate method of appropriate agriculture management in order to minimize leaching of nitrates into groundwater also with regard to clima

Annotation of project:
The selected sorts of the vine will be planted and their grapes will be used for juice preparation containing as much as possible bioactive compounds (resveratrol, direct antioxidants, fenolic substances). The standard and biological produce will be used. The physical treatment of grapes will be used to generate in grapes the bioactive compounds having the health benefit. The non-thermal processing of the juices such as high pressure pasteurisation will be used. The aim of this part of research will be to compare the content of bioactive compounds in standard processed and new methods processed juices.

The aim of the proposed project is to reveal and quantify the possible influence of livestock grazing on soil characteristics, incl. degradation changes, quantity and quality of water and biodiversity of the pasture. For the proposed project, three small catchments (50 - 200 ha) will be elected, all of them partly drained, located in the southern hilly part of the Czech Republic and in the Bohemo - Moravian Higland. Within each experimental catchment, two transects will be drawn across the area in cooperation with local farmers, to capture typical soil and morphological units incident in the catchment as well as the pastoral intensity of the site. Within these lines, several points will be chosen, where soil and stand composition samples will be withdrawn. The possible influence of grazing on changes of soil characteristics (both physical and chemical, incl. degradation) as well as on botany composition and coprophagous beetle habitation (Scarabaeidae, Geotrupidae) will be investigated. Further, all

Annotation of project:
Biological potential of new genotypes of cereal crops has been increasing and due to the employment of perspective genetic methods and assumed improvement of the photosynthetic efficiency through interferences in carbon metabolism further enhancement of the productivity as much as by 50% can be expected. At the same time, however, the utilization of the potential of new genotypes, considering both quality parameters and especially productivity, has been decreasing and is very variable. Thus, spatial and temporal environmental variability has become a limiting factor of cereal production that should be eliminated by crop management practices. However, there is a lack of reliable tools for diagnosing such variability on larger areas and its performing at shorter intervals. Furthermore, currently available methods fail in agronomic interpretation of measurements that often leads to inconsistent results. The use of knowledge about the genotype-environment interaction in decision making, which is critical
