Informacijos šaltinių analizėje apžvelgti energetiniai augalai, jų fizinės – mechaninės savybės, nuėmimo bei ruošimo kurui technologijos. Apžvelgtos energetiniams augalams tinkamos ir skirtos saugyklos . Eksperimentiniais tyrimais nustatytos pagrindinės gluosnių stiebų pjaustinio biometrinės ir fizinės – mechaninės savybės: trinties savybės ir birumo kampai. Nustatyti pjaustinio laikymo ir džiovinimo technologiniai parametrai. Ištyrus trinties savybes nustatyta, kad gluosnių pjaustiniui slystant plastmasiniu paviršiumi trinties koeficientas yra mažesnis nei slystant metaliniu paviršiumi. Įvertinti pjaustinio laikymo ir džiovinimo parametrai. Nustatyta, kad pjaustinį neventiliuojamoje saugykloje kaista ir supelija. Nustatyta, kad 650±15 m3/(th) oro srautas yra per mažas, nes taip pat prasidėjo pjaustinio gedimas, tai rodo, kad šis srautas yra per silpnas, jis neužkerta kelio pelėsių atsiradimui. Todėl tikslinga naudoti 1300±20 m3/(th) ir didesnį oro srautą. Pasiūlyta saugykla saugoti 3 mėnesių kuro atsargas, kuriomis šildomas 800 m2 ploto gyvenamasis namas (saugykla bus pildoma 3 kartus per šildymo sezoną). / This work consists of 58 pages including 25th picture and 13 tables. There are 23 sources in the information sources‘ list. The work was begun 01 09 2007 and finished 19 05 2009. In the analysis of information sources the energetic plants were overlooked – their physical-mechanical characteristics, gathering and preparing for using as a fuel technologies. Also stores suitable and designed for energetic plants were overlooked. The basic biometric and physical-mechanical characteristics of willow stem chaff like frictional attributes and angle of powderiness were observed by experimental investigation. Technological parameters of chaffs‘ storage and desiccation were appointed. It was appointed while investigating that friction coefficient is lower when willow chaff is sliding through plastic surface than through metal surface. Parameters of chaffs‘ storage and desiccation were evaluated. It was appointed that chaff heats up and gets musty in the unventilated stores. 650±15 m3/(th) windblast is too weak as it also caused spoilage of chaff. It does not prevent uprise of must. It is purposeful to use 1300±20 m3/(th) and higher windblast for ventilation. The store for holding fuel resources for 800 m2 dwelling-house during three months was offered. (The store will be supported three times during the heating season).

My PhD thesis is focused on study of plant-soil interactions. Chapter 1 is focused on general introduction to the interactions between plants and soil biota in terms of relationships between soil organisms and aboveground biomass as well as root biomass. Chapter 2 is focused on food interaction of Folsomia candida and soil microscopic fungi (Penicillium chrysogenum, Penicillium expansum, Absidia glauca, and Cladosporium herbarum). Fungi were grown separately on Petri dishes or on different litter type (oak, alder and willow) separately as well. Laboratory experiments showed that food preference was more influenced by different litter types than fungal species. In chapter 3 was studied long-term production of hybrid sorrel and its effect on the composition of the soil meso and macrofauna, basal soil respiration, microbial biomass and composition of cultivable fraction of soil microscopic fungi in comparison with oilseed rape and cultural meadow. There was found that long-term production of hybrid sorrel affects the composition of soil fauna, while the microbial activity of the soil was more affected by agriculture practices, especially tillage. In chapter 4 was studied the effect of native (Salix viminialis and Phalaris arudinacea) and introduced (Reynoutria sachalinensis, Silphium perfoliatum and...

The aim of the study was to examine communities of epigeic beetles in the plantations of fast-growing trees (poplar clone Japanese J - 105 (Jap = - 105, Max - 4, Maxvier) and surrounding habitats (Zea mays L.). A cover of Zea mays L. was used as an area for comparison. Sampling was carried out in 2012 by using the method of epigeic beetles in pitfall traps (period from May to September). During the sampling, altogether 1054 specimens and 57 species of epigeic beetles were collected. In the area of fast-growing trees ?Na Vrbovecku? 528 specimens were collected which is many times more than in other researched areas. In the cover of Zea mays L. in the area "Na Vrbovecku" 293 specimens were collected and in the zone of fast-growing trees "U rybníka" 233 specimens were catched; notice the high similarity in the number of collected specimens. At all sites surveyed the expansive species (E) outnumbered the II relics. There were about 70% of expansive species in the cover of Japanese poplar found and in the cover of Zea mays L. there were about 90% of expansive species found. The number of more adaptable species- RII category- found in the cover of Japanese poplar was approximately 30% unlike the number of the same species found inside the Zea mays L. cover was only 12%. The rare species Xantholinus gallicus of the RI category was found in the plantations of fast-growing trees "U rybníka". The index of anthropogenic impact on communities (ISD) was very low in studied plots. In the Zea mays L.cover the index was only 6 points, unlike in the cover of Japanese poplar where the index reached 24 points. Yet all researched areas show high anthropogenic impact. Based on the obtained results (epigeic beetles), it seems that plantations of fast-growing trees have a positive impact on communities of epigeic beetles in cultural landscape. Since the research was always carried out on a farmed landscape, the impact of surrounding landscape on gained results is minimal and insignificant.
