Please note that the field course is usually given in Czech language. In case of major interest of English speaking people, contact the teacher - we can manage to split the groups probably.

A practical course focused on the current methods in phytosociology, plant population biology and ecology (from data sampling to computer analyses).

Literature -

There are no compulsory books needed for attending. In case of really great interest, you can try reading Scheiner, Gurevitsch: Design and Analysis of Ecological Experiments. Basic knowledge of R is also welcome so the R book or some online sources might come handy.

Last update: Mgr. Tomáš Koubek, Ph.D. (04.03.2024)

We teach basic methods of phytosociology and plant population biology, e.g.:

forest relevés and hemispheric photographs for light measurements

phytosociological relevé (Braun-Blanquet scale, header data etc.)

permanent plots, their fixing an finding

Ellenberg indicator values (EIV)

environmental variables (soil pH, soil depth, soil type and other depending on the study)

plant measurements

biomass measurements and calibration

underground organs measurements
