Osnova předmětu

The subject is intended for doctoral students having knowledge of ecology, who
are concerned with issues of vegetation in individual types of landscapes.
Special emphasis is put on subtypes of industrial landscape. The subject is
focused on Zurich-Montpellier classification of plant communities with
ecological factors, multidimensional analysis of plant data and environmental
data. It deals with vegetation phenomena with regard to geomorphology, geology
and microclimate of landscape with special attention paid to the industrial
landscape. It is concerned with the structure of vegetation and landscape over
a greater spatial scale, landscape heterogeneity, changes in the distribution
of chosen plants and plant communities with reference to environmental
factors. The subject includes applications, i.e. the use of vegetation maps
and other vegetation data in landscape planning, landscape restoration, nature
protection in relation to ecological regeneration and bioindication.
