Summary

The course is designed for doctoral students dealing with the issue of vegetation in various types of industrial landscapes. The course focuses on the Zurich-Montpellier classification of plant communities forming in industrial types of landscapes. It deals with vegetation phenomena with regard to geomorphology, geology and microclimate of the landscape with special focus on industrial landscape. It deals with the structure of vegetation and landscape on a larger spatial scale, landscape heterogeneity, changes in the distribution of selected plant species and plant communities, due to environmental factors. The content of the course is application and use of vegetation maps and other vegetation data in exploration of mineral resources, landscape planning, regeneration and reclamation and for bioindication. Knowledge of invasive species and plants and their spread in industrial types of landscapes is an important part.
