Psocids (Psocoptera) were collected on 22 established plots situated in zonal 4th beechen and 5th fir-beechen vegetation tiers of Slezské Beskydy Mts area during vegetation seasons in 2015–2018. A total of 2860 adult psocids divided into 27 different species were collected. The final composition of taxocenoses was evaluated and compared with the material collected on the same plots by prof. Holuša in 1997–2005. Most psocids were collected in 5th fir-beechen vegetation tier and the greatest amount of psocids considering the tree species was found on Norway spruce. Caecilius burmeisteri was evaluated as the most abundant out of all collected species. The characteristic species combinations specific to vegetation tiers were established as Peripsocus subfasciatus – Enderleinella obsoleta – Caecilius piceus for 4th and Caecilius burmeisteri – Caecilius flavidus – Peripsocus subfasciatus for 5th vegetation tier. Differences between the abundances of Caecilius burmeisteri that increased by 11,60 % and Caecilius flavidus that increased by 9,93 % were the most considerable ones. On the other hand, there were also registered significant differences in abundance of Caecilius despaxi, Enderleinella obsoleta and Peripsocus phaeopterus species that decreased by 8,33, 6,10 and 6,08 % respectively. Some new species were collected in 2015–2018, namely Amphigerontia contaminata, Caecilius fuscopterus, Elipsocus abdominalis, Elipsocus annulatus, Graphopsocus cruciatus, Lachesilla quercus, Loensia variegata, Peripsocus alboguttatus, Peripsocus parvulus, Philotarsus parviceps, and Trichadenotecnum majus. In contrast to that some species which made an appearance in 1997–2005 were not collected, namely Cuneopalpus cyanops, Loensia fasciata, and Mesopsocus unipunctatus.

The aim of this diploma thesis is to design a mountain hotel in the Malenovice village. The object is placed on a sloping plot located in an attractive area of Moravian-Silesian Beskydy. The mountain hotel has 4 floors and a basement. In the First floor There is a restaurant with a terrace, space for staff and also the accommodation part. In the second and third floor we can find guest rooms and rooms for the hotel staff. In the basement there is wellness, a gym and a conference room. Here se can also find space for staff service. The constructional systém is made of ceramic bricks filled with mineral isolation.

Vegetation cover of 24 ski slopes both with artificial and natural snow was studied; on each slope 5 phytocenological relevés measuring 4 x 4 metres were taken. A method of direct gradient analysis (RDA) was used to detect differences in composition of phytocenological reléves on the ski slopes with natural or artificial snow. However, no impact of use of artificial snow on vegetation was identified. During the winter season of 2009 and of 2010 samples of artificial and natural snow were taken for chemical analyses. The chemical composition differed significantly; artificial snow contained more NO3-, SO42- and Ca2+ ions and its pH was more alkaline in comparison with natural snow.

In beech and spruce stands in the LS Ostravice in Moravia Silesian Beskydy was realized monitoring of epigeic invertebrates by pitfall traps method. Carabid beetles (Carabidae) were classified as bioindicator group in terms of representation in spruce and beech stands with regard to main typopologic kategories like as forest altitudinal vegetation groups (LVS), edaphic categories (EK) and files of forest types (SLT). Ground beetles communities were evaluated in economic forests and nature reserves. Collecting of ground beetles was realized in period 2007 -- 2014 in the spring, summer, late summer and autumn aspect. In the entire period were captured 67 483 individuals of ground beetles belonged to 77 species. In interest area was confirmed the occurrence of legally protected species and species Natura 2000 (Carabus variolosus Sturm). Another protected and heavilly endagered species was Carabus obsoletus Sturm. Carabus linnei, Pterostichus burmeisteri and Pterostichus foveolatus were eudominant species. The dominant species were represented Abax ovalis, Carabus glabratus and Pterostichus oblongopunctatus. There was proved a relation between carabid beetles and main typologic categories (LVS, EK and SLT). Several species were discovered diference between spruce and beech stands and so between nature reserves and economic forests.

The Master thesis deals with life and work of a Silesian photographer and painter Józef Raszka (1875-1929). During the compilation of the thesis emphasis was put on searching and collecting information in archives and finally on their processing into one comprehensive unit. Generally, the thesis is divided into four main parts. The first chapter outlines historical events that took place during Raszka's life in a region he lived in. The other two chapters describe Raszka's life and the research method in detail. All of the chapters mentioned above should introduce this extraordinary and controversial personality to a reader and simultaneously get him/her acquainted with the artist's complicated character and interesting attitude toward life. In the last chapter the findings are applied in order to interpret Raszka's work. The indivisible part of the thesis consists also of a photography illustration and a catalogue that can be found at end of the thesis and which encompasses reproductions of all Raszka's photographs which are known.

In forest management, forest typology is often used in long term planning. Its basic is forest site, which represents a relatively permanent biocoenosis with phytocoenological similarities. The basis of knowledge is synusia undergrowth (plant components), accompanied by ecological (habitat) characteristics. To changes in the development of ecological factors in the ecosystem is sensitive animal ingredients, than plants. Therefore, the long term effort of knowledge bioindicative animal ingredients, which reacts faster than the flora on induced changes in the ecosystem. In the network of 38 localities covering 12 forest site complex, occurrence of millipede, centipede and terrestrial isopoda was investigated (a method of pitfall traps, 16,189 ex., 39 species). In order to speciy of environmental characteristics, data from 30 weather stations were used, detailed pedological ressearch including soil chemistry and phytocoenological research were carried out. Obtained data were processed by MNDS, PCA and CCA analyses. The most significant factor were coverage by herbaceous vegetation and contents of Ca, and Mg in soil. Distribution of the individual species in relation to different forest site complexes was determined by CCA analysis. All three studied groups of species, i.e. millipedes, centipedes and terrestrial isopods, were evaluated as significant for bioindication within the forest ecosystems. Centipedes and millipedes enabled us to associate each FSC with a specific species. Terrestrial isopods indicated well the localities with high groundwater level and the process of peat formation. Due to the strict requirements indicator pros'tredí was using the methods set value Indicator type Lithobius nodulipes on a forest site complex 5L (Montane AshAlder) and Lithobius pelidnus to 5Y (Skeletal Fir Beech) bioinikator. Also important position had the second Hyloniscu riparius and Ligidium hypnorum 6 O/R (Nutrient medium Peat Spruce).

Soil epigeal fauna of beech and spruce forest stands had been monitored for 8 years (2007-2014) in 37 selected research area in the Moravian-Silesian Beskids. Collection of material carried out twice per year in spring and autumn aspects. Site characteristics of research localities were characterized by high variability while 4 vegetation altitudinal zones, 8 edaphic categories and 12 forest site types had been distinguished. Soil fauna was extracted by Tullgren devices. Within the monitoring, 11 target animal groups were engaged in: mites, springtails, larvae stages of ground beetles, symphylans, diplurans, proturans, centipedes and millipedes, larvae stages of rove beetles, adults of rove beetles, earthworms, larvae stages of click beetles (wireworms). Earthworm´s and wireworm´s cenosis were deterimined into species and genera, respectively. Remaing groups of soil fauna had been studied within larger systematic categories. Subsequently, abundance and dominance of the particular groups of soil epigeal fauna. The outputs had been compared each other and potential relations between particular animal groups to the specific site properties, vegetation altitudinal zones, edaphic categories and forest site types had been assessed thereby. Overall, 274 015 individuals were captured within the monitored soil animal groups. Several groups of soil cenosis were disvored specific relations to the site conditions. Additionally, 12 species of earthwomrs were distinguished while Dendrobaena octaedra seemed to be significantly dominant species representing 68,33 % of total earthworm´s species spectrum. Larvae stages of wireworms were determined into 5 genera. Representatives of Athous genera formed almost 86 % of the population of wireworms.

Title of the diploma´s thesis: Habitat characteristics weevils in beech and spruce forest ecosystems Moravian-Silesian Beskydy In forest ecosystems Moravskoslezské Beskydy was conducted from 2007 to 2015 collection epigeic fauna using ground traps. Trapping took place at 6-week inter-vals from May to October. Family (Curculionidae) was evaluated in beech spruce stands using faunistic index in relation to the basic typological units which are forest vegetation zones (LVS), edaphic category (EK), forest type (SLT) and ecotope conditions such as soil type, soil chemistry, humus form and composition of the herb layer. Incidence was compared of Curculionidae in selected nature reserves in silviculture stands. Total were captured 26,743 individuals of Curculionidae amount of 52 species. Eudominant species are Otiorhynchus carinatopunctatus, Plinthus tischeri, Otiorhynchus tenebricosus, Rhinomias forticornis and Strophosoma melanogrammum. In Beskydy they were captured rare species Barynotus moerens and Barypeithes mollicomus. It was found continuity of some species of Curculionidae on forest vegetation zones (LVS), edaphic categories (EK) and continuity some species of Curcilionidae on soil attribute.
