In the bachelor thesis deal with measuring of the snow depth during the winter period 2017/2018 in the mountain spruce at the research plot of Červenec. Research plot is situated in the West Tatras at an elevation of 1,420 m a.s.l. near the tourist cottage (Chata pod Náružím). The winter period lasted from the beginning of November 2017 and ended at the beginning of April 2018. The measurements were carried out in the living and in the dead spruce stand and at an open forest area using a portable snow rod and stationary rods and phenological cameras. We compared both methods between each other. Monitoring took place only one season, during the last winter, due to the installation of portable snow rod rods and phenological cameras in the second half of November last year. By measuring we tried to prove the effect of the forest stand on the amount snow pack and snow depth, which confirms our results. The highest snow depth were recorded at an open forest area, followed by the dead stand, and the lowest snow depth were in the living stand. It was influenced by the canopy of the trees, which captured a greater amount of snowfall. During the melting process, the snow pack lasted the longest at an open forest area, followed by a dead stand, and the fastest snow melted in the living stand.
