Research on water erosion has been organized by the Department of Physical Geography of Ostrava University, from 1976 to 2000, in the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts. in the Upper Ostravice River Watershed in the NE part of the Czech Republic. The main results of an analysis of the suspended load regime are presented here. Suspended load, as a transitional part of the erosional products, is evidence of the intensity of erosional processes. In the observed catchment area of the Upper Ostravice R., suspended load sediments in the Šance Dam reached their maximum in 1997, when as a result of regional precipitation the concentration exceeded 15 g.l-1. Shrnutí Vodní eroze v povodí horní Ostravice v letech 1976 – 2000 Eroze je přirozený morfogenetický činitel, jehož intenzita a průběh závisí jak na přírodních činitelích, tak i na činitelích antropogenních (používání traktorové technologie, spojené s budování lesních komunikací). Ve středohorském reliéfu Moravskoslezských Beskyd v povodí horní Ostravice nad vodárenskou nádrží Šance byl katedrou fyzické geografie sledován plaveninový režim uvedeného povodí od roku 1976 do roku 2000. Tranzitní část produktů eroze – plaveniny jsou vodou přenášeny do vodárenské nádrže, kde z 90 % sedimentují. Od roku 1976 se vodní eroze projevila nejvíce v r. 1997, kdy okamžité koncentrace plavenin přesahovaly 15 g.l-1, což bylo dáno intenzivními regionálními srážkami.

The final results in each case are affected by the methods of sampling and the Water erosion is largely determined by the amount and subsequent analyses used. intensity of precipitation (both snow melt water and rainfall), by bedrock type and lithology, vegetation cover Methodologically, the study refers to the works by and geomorphological processes. These natural factors Stehlík (1969, 1971). In the field, samples of water with may affect the physical and chemical properties of soil suspended load were taken at the hydrometric river and result in the reduction of soil fertility or, eventually, profile by the Staré Hamry gaging station (near the soil loss. The intensity of these procesess is usually place where the Ostravice River joins the Šance Water modified by human activity (e.g. logging, forest road Dam), at three intervals daily – 7 a.m., 2 p.m. and 8 construction, the use of heavy machines, etc.). p.m. At the Department of Geography of the former Pedagogical Faculty in Ostrava (after 1989 the Physical This paper presents the results of the forest soil erosion Geography Department of the Faculty of Science in research in the Upper Ostravice River watershed (the Ostrava), the samples – 0,2 l each – were dried and Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts., NE part of the Czech weighed. The resulting amount of suspended load was Republic; see Fig. 1), carried out in years 1976 – 2000 multiplied by five to get values per litre. In contrary, using a range of methods of both field work and cameral the Hydrometeorological Institute in Ostrava took their data interpretation (see below). Two different series of samples at 7 a.m., each being one litre in volume. The results were compared, based on the measurements data on precipitation, snow melting and water discharge carried out by two different organisations, namely in the Ostravice River Watershed (for the hydrometric Ostrava University (OU) and the Hydrometeorological profile at Staré Hamry, see above) were provided by the 1 The research by the Hydrometeorological Institute in Ostrava was only carried out in years 1985 – 1997. 2 CMYK CMYK MORAVIAN GEOGRAPHICAL REPORTS 4/2007, Vol. 5 Vol. 5, 4/2007 MORAVIAN GEOGRAPHICAL REPORTS Hydrometeorological Institute in Ostrava, too.

To learn more about the other Erodology, the branch of science dealing with the erosion types, the reader is referred to literature, esp. mechanical soil degradation, was first promoted by Zachar Zachar (1970, 1980), Jařabač (1979) and Krečmer (1983).

During water erosion, which paper, the soil loss and the rate of pedological processes is the main focus of this study, the rainfall and snow are analysed on the example of the model watershed melt-water interact with the soil and bedrock, resulting (Upper Ostravice River, Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts.). in the erosive wash
