Climatological forecast scenarios for the territory of the Czech Republic assume that possible global climate changes caused by rising greenhouse gas content in the earth's atmosphere due to the burning of fossil fuels would result in an average temperature rise by 1-2 deg C. An appropriate spatial framework to assess the effects of possible climate changes on growth conditions of agricultural crops are the vegetation zones. Vegetation zoning expresses the dependence of biota on the long-term effects of altitude and exposure climate, given by the average as well as extreme air temperatures and the amount and distribution of precipitation (including horizontal precipitation). Climate change is reflected in the gradual shift of vegetation zones to higher altitudes, i.e. by the changes in the overall vegetation zoning. A model of the changes in the vegetation zones in the Czech Republic was developed at three Czech universities in cooperation with the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute. This paper presents an application of this model to predict the effects of climate change on future climate conditions for sugar beet cultivation in the Czech Republic.
