Abstract: Barová Cave is located in the central part of the Moravian Karst (the Czech Republic), on the right slope of Josefovské Valley; it is the outfl ow part of Rudické propadání (Rudice Sink) – Býčí skála (Bull Rock) cave system. Even since its discovery by A. Sobol in 1947, Barová Cave has been known as important palaeontological site, with well-preserved fauna of the Late Pleistocene. In the summer of 2011, a landslide of sediments revealed yet unexamined fossiliferous positions, and started the current research activity. There were discovered skeletal remains of these 21 taxa of vertebrates between 2011 – 2017 in Barová Cave: bear from the cave bear group (Ursus ex gr. spelaeus), cave lion (Panthera spelaea), wolf (Canis lupus), cave hyena (Crocuta crocuta spelaea), brown bear (Ursus arctos), lynx (Lynx lynx), wolverine (Gulo gulo), fox, probably red (Vulpes cf.

  • Additional Material Ecosystem Services Hydrological Values: the Hydrography and Hydrology of the Site Differ Substantially From
    Ramsar Site: 1413 - Punkva subterranean stream Ramsar Information Sheet March 2004 Additional material Ecosystem services Hydrological values: The hydrography and hydrology of the site differ substantially from those of the surrounding area. Streams originating in non-karst area of Drahanská Uplands sink below the ground immediately after entering the limestone area. Hydrography and hydrology of the area is rather complicated - some sinks and springs function depending on the water dynamics, subterranean streams cross each other at differing levels, a sink may become a spring and vice versa, etc. Surface streams are almost non-existent, subterranean streams and their catchments do not correspond with the surface relief. In the area of sinkholes, valleys with abrupt dead-ends, or partially so, have been created and streams are periodical. This karst area has its own, mainly subterranean, hydrographic systems with single erosion base being the drainage system of the Punkva stream. Detailed hydrology of the area is highly complicated and not yet fully understood. Sloupský potok and Bílá voda streams are the sources for the Punkva stream, that has a catchment area of 170 km2 and average discharge of 0.96 m3.s-1. Before reaching a cave, the waters of Sloupský stream, during the period of low water level, disappear down about 20 sinkholes or infiltrate into the bottom substrate at the time of low water discharge. Thus, part of the stream is periodical. The stream disappears finally underground at Staré skály (rocks) near Sloupsko-šošůvské Caves. At a depth of 70-100m it creates the Sloupský corridor that belongs to the Amateur Cave complex.

These cave precipitates provide various proxy data (e.g. stable isotopes, minor and trace elements or grow laminae) about paleoenvironment. To better under- stand the interrelationship between proxies and environment, an investigation of recent karst processes is important. A dripwater hydrogeochemistry and cave PCO2 were studied in the dry part of Punkva Caves (Moravian Karst).

The effect of door opening differed with cave ventilation modes. Under upward airflow mode, the cave door opening led to the increase of output advective CO2 fluxes from the cave and to the decrease of CO2 levels. This effect was evident especially in the Entrance Chamber near the cave entrance and then suppressed in the Gallery Chamber situated deeper in the cave. Under the downward airflow mode, the cave door opening changed airflow paths and main CO2 sources/fluxes. This resulted in the increase of CO2 level in the Entrance Chamber while the levels in the Gallery Chamber decrease. Modeling indicates that the increase could -2 -1 be result of input advective CO2 fluxes from epikarst (up to 5.9 × 10 mol s ). To reduce the impact on cave microclimate, a careful control of the visiting regime without overlapping of individual doors’ openings is recommended.

Přívalem vody byl nejvíce poškozen Sloup, který podobnou situaci, i když v menším měřítku, zažil již před dvěma týdny dne 13. května 2003. Voda a bahno se valila na obec ze západu, z polí od Petrovic, Žďáru a Němčic. Přívalové deště zatopily jen ve Sloupu osmdesát domů, garáže, obecní úřad, restauraci, poštu, hřiště i provozní budovy Sloupsko-šosůvských jeskyní. Na druhou stranu rozvodnice do údolí Svitavy způsobily tyto deště škody i v obcích Doubravice, Kuníčky. Z jiného bouřkového centra se přehnala menší přívalová voda obcí Lažánky a okolí. 1. Popis území Celé území Sloupska náleží k povodí řeky Svitavy. Říční síť je zde především tvořena řadou ponorných toků vtékajících do řeky Punkvy, která ústí z levého břehu v městě Blansku do řeky Svitavy. Punkva vzniká v podzemí spojením několika vodních větví. Na západní straně Sloupu je hlavním tokem potok Luha, na východě, u Holštejna, je to Bílá voda. Luha pramení ve výši 700 m n.m. na úbočí nejvyšší hory Drahanské vrchoviny, zvané Skály. Přítoky Luhy jsou potok Protivanský, Hartmanický, Novodvorský a malý potůček Olejnický.
