Field exercises in biology and ecology aims to acquaint students with
organisms and habitats of selected ecosystems (forest, wetland, meadow, fields, pond,
dam, river) and the specific examples, in the discharge of their duties, the
acquainted with the functions of ecosystems and to understand that disruption of one component system can
lead to the collapse of the entire system. In addition, students at specific locations
acquainted with important natural features and the selected problems, whether it is issues of biodiversity. |

| Field Course is focused on practical experiences, biological and ecological research methods and evaluating the results. Field works are organized in post-industrial landscape, respectively in post-mining landscape. The practice is carried out by sub-field work from topics as organisms, populations and their environment, diversity and community structure and interaction between organisms. |
