Abstract

V originále

During the period of 2009-2022, altogether 39 localities with the occurrence of Saga pedo were irregularly monitored, including 6 plots in the Podyjí National Park. While some of localities are mainly grazed by sheep and goats and locally also by wild horses, others are rather mowed in a mosaic pattern. Expansive shrub and tree species are parallelly regulated. In addition, controlled fire is used against accumulation of old grass in some protected areas in the last years. The contribution was financially supported by the Nature Conservation Agency of the Czech Republic.

In Czech

V období let 2009-2022 bylo nepravidelně sledováno celkem 39 lokalit s výskytem kobylky ságy, z toho 6 ploch v NP Podyjí. Zatímco některé lokality spásají především ovce a kozy a lokálně i divocí koně, jiné jsou spíše mozaikovitě kosené. Paralelně jsou regulovány expanzivní keře a dřeviny. V některých chráněných územích se navíc v posledních letech používá řízené vypalování proti hromadění staré trávy. Příspěvek finančně podpořila Agentura ochrany přírody a krajiny ČR.
