We live in the interglacial period that is causing warming effect on the EarthпїЅs climate reflected in water scarcity. Water is an essential substance in agricultural production. Therefor appropriate management is necessary to achieve sustainability. Material flow analysis (MFA) provides an overview of the system by linking the anthroposphere with the environment, and can highlight environmental or resource issue problems. Thus MFA can be used as a tool of material management. We applied partial MFA for quantifyi...

Substrate, organic matter content, land use and cover may strongly affect soil properties having effect on soil water regulation services in ecosystems. Soil water holding capacity is function of specific physical, chemical, and biological soil parameters. The aim of this research was to understand the risks posed to soils and their water-holding capacities, in the face of changes in land use, land management and vegetation cover. This study was conducted in 2015, at two study sites, Tajov (TA on Haplic Cambisol) ...

Every agroecosystem presumably has the potential for providing some kind of outdoor recreation. We analysed the potential for recreation of National park (NP) Low Tatras. Forest ecosystems with mountain grasslands as a part of agroecosystems participate in the total cultural ecosystem value. Protected natural areas provide a wide range of benefits to the community. Among the benefits most commonly cited are those associated with the provision of tourism and recreational opportunities, as well as those associated w...
