The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the kinds of anthropogenic degradation of landscapes with a focus on mining and indistriální landscape with the principles of restoration of functional use of individual landscape segments affected by industrial activities. Students are acquainted with modern trends in the development of reclamation technology. Another benefit and skill of the graduates of the subject lies in the practical familiarization with the various technologies of rehabilitation of the area in practice. Students can determine and use individual tree species in remediation and reclamation practice. Students will get a practical view of the problems of remediation and reclamation technologies for individual types of land, they will be able to decide for the appropriate solution due to the character of the land and the required utilization of the reclaimed area.
