Various functional structures of woody vegetation - a base of the proposal of new functional landscape

Petr Kupec, Petr Pelikán, Ondřej Hemr


The article presents the results of a case study, which was processed in the catchment area of the water source Nová Ves u Pohořelic owned by BVaK, a.s. The mentioned area consists of about 20 ha of floodplain landscape on mostly Quaternary sediments. The site, originally covered with mature coniferous forest, was deforested due to the drought, which had an immediate effect on the quality of the water in the water source, especially by a significant increase in nitrogen content. The purpose of the study was to design such a structure of the landscape, consisting mainly of elements of woody vegetation, which, by its existence, will ensure the re-achievement of the ordered water quality. The article presents the principles of this proposal, which are based mainly on the ecological possibilities of the proposed tree species and their use for remediation of undesirable substances in water, as well as the proposal itself.

Keywords: catchment area of water source, woody vegetation functions, bioremediation, Nová Ves u Pohořelic
