Hlavním cílem projektu je definování fluktuační dynamiky dvou nejvýznamnějších defoliátorů lesů ČR v dlouhodobém horizontu. (cs)
The fluctuation patterns of both lymantriid species are relatively regular in the Czech Republic. Some studies suggest, that frequecy of outbreaks will increase in central Europe.The cycles might be influenced by ongoing climate change and thus subsequently influece the health status of spruce and oak forests in the Czech republic. The analysis of time-serie depends mainly on the length of time series, becoming more valuable with increasing length. Dendrochronology and related methods allow to collect such data. The significance of proposed project might cross the borders of the Czech republic. (en)
