Our research focuses on landscape functions, structures in the landscape and biotechnical landscape treatments.
- We undertake both experimental research, e.g. in forest hydrology, and applied research, through which we are able to bring the latest experimental research findings into practice
- By addressing landscape and forest engineering topics, our research aims to cover broad issues related to the functioning of productive and, to some extent, natural landscapes, including optimising their use
- Our goal is to be able to translate the results of science and research into engineering outputs, such as projects and studies
- We cooperate with several foreign scientific and academic institutions, an essential element of quality research
- Our specialised laboratories, located on the University campus and in the ‘Living Lab’, provide all facilities for international-level scientific work
- The results of our work are presented in recognised international journals
The following laboratories are currently managed by the Department:
Laboratory of Soil Mechanics
Specialised equipment:
- Laser Diffraction Analysis (LDA) granulometer
- 2SZZ Static load apparatus
- Light dynamic plate (LDP) impact load apparatus
- In-situ California Bearing Ratio (CBR) apparatus
- Shear box shrinkage apparatus
- Cone penetrometer
- CBR CYCLICAL – cyclic California bearing ratio (CBR) apparatus – patent pending
- Propustomer
Masaryk Forest – Křtiny ‘Living Lab’
- Nine climate stations (continuous measurement of precipitation, temperature, solar radiation, soil moisture, etc.)
- Four overflows (continuous flow recording)
- Two boreholes in closure profiles (continuous recording of subsurface water movement)
Our work has resulted in prestigious projects, publications and other outputs:

Doctoral studies
Students in Doctoral programmes put their professional skills to good use in scientific, research, project and teaching activities. They also become involved in publishing activities, through which they present their acquired knowledge and the results of their research activities.
