Course objectives

This training course is complementary to the lecture of Wetland ecology and its objective is to make the students acquainted with given questions in a field. The course is devoted to the extension of knowledge about plant ecology and community ecology with specialisation on aquatic and wetland plants and vegetation. There will be demonstrated the specificity of wetland habitats in comparison to terrestrial habitats, from adaptations of various plant groups to general principles of the community pattern respectively. On the visited localities, the students have a possibility to observe various types of aquatic and wetland vegetation and their complexes. To give the students more comprehensive view on the wetlands, attention will be paid also to the animals living in the wetlands and to their interactions with plants. The demonstrations of the influence of a man on the wetlands and discussions to the possibilities of the protection of selected localities are included too. At the end of the course, the student should complete and master the information obtained in lectures. Further, the students should get practical skills, e.g. detection of basic abiotic factors and type of management, recording of phytosociological relevés and transect in aquatic and wetland environment, determination of wetland plant species in various development stages, analysis of abundance and structure in populations of selected species, elaboration of schematic vegetation maps etc. Acquired knowledge and skills facilitate the students their research in framework of bachelor and diploma thesis with wetland specialisation and enable them also the evaluation of wetland localities for institutions of nature protection.

Learning outcomes

Absolvováním předmětu si student doplní a lépe osvojí informace získané na přednášce (samostatný předmět); získá mnohé prakticé dovednosti a bude schopen samostatně zjistit základní abiotické faktory a typ obhospodařování na zkoumaných lokalitách, zapsat fytocenologických snímky a transekty ve vodách a mokřadech, rozeznat jednotlivé druhy mokřadních rostlin v různých fázích vývoje, stanovit početnost a struktury populací vybraných druhů rostlin, zpracovat schématické vegetační mapky atd. Získané znalosti a dovednosti studenti využijí při vlastním terénním výzkumu v rámci bakalářské nebo diplomové práce nebo např. i při hodnocení mokřadních lokalit pro instituce ochrany přírody. At the end of the course, the student will complete and master the information obtained in lectures.

Syllabus

• 1) What are the wetlands? (definitions, examples, basic features of aquatic and wetland environment).
• 2) Plant and animal adaptations to the life in aquatic and wetland environment (anatomy, morphology, physiology).
• 3) Taxonomic groups of organisms occurring mainly in wetlands (in the Central Europe and the world).
• 4) Life strategies and life forms in aquatic and wetland plants (various classification schemes, examples, occurrence in different types of aquatic and wetland vegetation).
• 5) Dispersal of aquatic and wetland plants (main types, differences compared to terrestrial plants).
• 6) Types of aquatic habitats in Central Europe and their plant component (running and stagnant water, natural and man-made wetlands, permanent and temporary wetlands, classification according to trophy levels).
• 7) Vegetation succession in wetlands (silting of water bodies, succession on exposed pond bottoms).
• 8) Zonality of aquatic and wetland vegetation and its influencing factors (on different levels – within single water body or watercourse, altitudinal levels in the Czech Republic, zonality of the earth).
• 9) Aquatic plants and animals – interactions (plants as a housing, place of reproduction, and food for animals; animals as co-producers of the plant’s environment and plant dispersal vectors).
• 10) Anthropogenic impact on the distribution of aquatic and wetland vegetation (tradition of fish-farming, drying out of wetlands, water pollution, cultivation and use of aquatic and wetland plants).

Teaching methods

Training methods: five-day field excursion in selected wetland region in the Czech Republic with demonstrations of various wetland types and plant andy animal species. On selected localities research work performed by small groups of students. If interesting data will be collected, the students will publish the results in a national specialised journal (the teacher help the students with the article ellaboration).

Assessment methods

Obtaining of the credit: the submission of the data collected in a field (e.g. relevés in database software TURBOVEG). In the case of the publication of the results each student will elaborate selected part of the article (data analysis, text writing, table and picture elaboration etc.).

Teacher's information

Similarly as in the previous years, there are two possibilities of the field course organisation: 1) 5-day excursion to some of the important wetland regions of the Czech Republic which is more distant from Brno (e.g. České Budějovice, Blatná, Třeboň, Nové Hrady or Pardubice regions, region of Orlice rivers, region of Odra river) and 2) altogether 5 one-day excursion from Brno to the wetlands in southern Moravia and Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. The course can take place in period of May to mid September (the one-day excursion can be spread throughout the whole period). The date will be adjusted according to the time possibilities of the students during the introductive meeting to the lectures of Wetland Ecology or later by e-mail. In the case of the 5-day excursion, it is necessary to arrange the excursion date as soon as possible due to the reservation of accomodation in a reasonable price. Please, contact my by e-mail if you need more information before the reservation of this course!

Course objectives

This training course is complementary to the lecture of Wetland ecology and its objective is to make the students acquainted with given questions in a field. The course is devoted to the extension of knowledge about plant ecology and community ecology with specialisation on aquatic and wetland plants and vegetation. There will be demonstrated the specificity of wetland habitats in comparison to terrestrial habitats, from adaptations of various plant groups to general principles of the community pattern respectively. On the visited localities, the students have a possibility to observe various types of aquatic and wetland vegetation and their complexes. To give the students more comprehensive view on the wetlands, attention will be paid also to the animals living in the wetlands and to their interactions with plants. The demonstrations of the influence of a man on the wetlands and discussions to the possibilities of the protection of selected localities are included too. At the end of the course, the student should complete and master the information obtained in lectures. Further, the students should get practical skills, e.g. detection of basic abiotic factors and type of management, recording of phytosociological relevés and transect in aquatic and wetland environment, determination of wetland plant species in various development stages, analysis of abundance and structure in populations of selected species, elaboration of schematic vegetation maps etc. Acquired knowledge and skills facilitate the students their research in framework of bachelor and diploma thesis with wetland specialisation and enable them also the evaluation of wetland localities for institutions of nature protection.

Syllabus

• 1) What are the wetlands? (definitions, examples, basic features of aquatic and wetland environment).
• 2) Plant and animal adaptations to the life in aquatic and wetland environment (anatomy, morphology, physiology).

Course objectives (in Czech)

Předmět je zaměřen na rozšíření znalostí o ekologii rostlin a jejich společenstev, se specializací na vodní a mokřadní rostliny a vegetaci. Úvodní přednášky vysvětlují specifičnost mokřadních biotopů oproti biotopům suchozemským na několika různých úrovních (od adaptací jednotlivých skupin rostlin až po obecné principy skladby rostlinných společenstev). Na konkrétních příkladech jsou probrány nejdůležitější typy vodní a mokřadní vegetace a jejich komplexy ve střední Evropě. Velká pozornost bude věnována působení člověka na mokřadní biotopy a možnostem jejich ochrany.

Syllabus (in Czech)

• 1) Co jsou to mokřady? (definice, příklady, základní vlastnosti vodního a mokřadního prostředí) 2) Adaptace rostlin umožňující život ve vodách a mokřadech (anatomie, morfologie, fyziologie). 3) Taxonomické skupiny vyskytující se převážně ve vodách a mokřadech (u nás i ve světě). 4) Strategie a životní formy u vodních a mokřadních rostlin (různé klasifikační systémy, příklady, zastoupení v různých typech vodní a mokřadní vegetace). 5) Šíření vodních a mokřadních rostlin (hlavní typy, rozdíly oproti suchozemským rostlinám). 6) Typy vod ve střední Evropě a jejich osídlení rostlinstvem (vody tekoucí a stojaté, přirozené a antropogenní, trvalé a periodické, rozdělení z hlediska trofie). 7) Sukcese vegetace ve vodách a mokřadech (zazemňování stojatých vod, sukcese na obnažených dnech). 8) Zonalita vodní a mokřadní vegetace a co ji ovlivňuje (na různých úrovních uvnitř jedné nádrže nebo toku, výškové členění v rámci ČR, zonalita na zeměkouli). 9) Vodní rostlinstvo a živočichové (vzájemné vazby - rostliny jako úkryt, prostředí pro rozmnožování, potrava pro živočichy, živočichové jako spolutvůrci životního prostředí rostlin, vektory šíření diaspor). 10) Vliv člověka na rozšíření vodní a mokřadní vegetace (rybníkářská tradice, vysoušení mokřadů, znečištění vod, záměrné pěstování a využití vodních a mokřadních rostlin).

Course objectives

This training course is complementary to the lecture of Wetland ecology and its objective is to make the students acquainted with given questions in a field. The course is devoted to the extension of knowledge about plant ecology and community ecology with specialisation on aquatic and wetland plants and vegetation. There will be demonstrated the specificity of wetland habitats in comparison to terrestrial habitats, from adaptations of various plant groups to general principles of the community pattern respectively. On the visited localities, the students have a possibility to observe various types of aquatic and wetland vegetation and their complexes. To give the students more comprehensive view on the wetlands, attention will be paid also to the animals living in the wetlands and to their interactions with plants. The demonstrations of the influence of a man on the wetlands and discussions to the possibilities of the protection of selected localities are included too. At the end of the course, the student should complete and master the information obtained in lectures. Further, the students should get practical skills, e.g. detection of basic abiotic factors and type of management, recording of phytosociological relevés and transect in aquatic and wetland environment, determination of wetland plant species in various development stages, analysis of abundance and structure in populations of selected species, elaboration of schematic vegetation maps etc. Acquired knowledge and skills facilitate the students their research in framework of bachelor and diploma thesis with wetland specialisation and enable them also the evaluation of wetland localities for institutions of nature protection.

Learning outcomes

Absolvováním předmětu si student doplní a lépe osvojí informace získané na přednášce (samostatný předmět); získá mnohé prakticé dovednosti a bude schopen samostatně zjistit základní abiotické faktory a typ obhospodařování na zkoumaných lokalitách, zapsat fytocenologických snímky a transekty ve vodách a mokřadech, rozeznat jednotlivé druhy mokřadních rostlin v různých fázích vývoje, stanovit početnost a struktury populací vybraných druhů rostlin, zpracovat schématické vegetační mapky atd. Získané znalosti a dovednosti studenti využijí při vlastním terénním výzkumu v rámci bakalářské nebo diplomové práce nebo např. i při hodnocení mokřadních lokalit pro instituce ochrany přírody. At the end of the course, the student will complete and master the information obtained in lectures.

Syllabus

• 1) What are the wetlands? (definitions, examples, basic features of aquatic and wetland environment).
• 2) Plant and animal adaptations to the life in aquatic and wetland environment (anatomy, morphology, physiology).
• 3) Taxonomic groups of organisms occurring mainly in wetlands (in the Central Europe and the world).
• 4) Life strategies and life forms in aquatic and wetland plants (various classification schemes, examples, occurrence in different types of aquatic and wetland vegetation).
• 5) Dispersal of aquatic and wetland plants (main types, differences compared to terrestrial plants).
• 6) Types of aquatic habitats in Central Europe and their plant component (running and stagnant water, natural and man-made wetlands, permanent and temporary wetlands, classification according to trophy levels).
• 7) Vegetation succession in wetlands (silting of water bodies, succession on exposed pond bottoms).
• 8) Zonality of aquatic and wetland vegetation and its influencing factors (on different levels – within single water body or watercourse, altitudinal levels in the Czech Republic, zonality of the earth).
• 9) Aquatic plants and animals – interactions (plants as a housing, place of reproduction, and food for animals; animals as co-producers of the plant’s environment and plant dispersal vectors).
• 10) Anthropogenic impact on the distribution of aquatic and wetland vegetation (tradition of fish-farming, drying out of wetlands, water pollution, cultivation and use of aquatic and wetland plants).

Teacher's information

Similarly as in the previous years, there are two possibilities of the field course organisation: 1) 5-day excursion to some of the important wetland regions of the Czech Republic which is more distant from Brno (e.g. České Budějovice, Blatná, Třeboň, Nové Hrady or Pardubice regions, region of Orlice rivers, region of Odra river) and 2) altogether 5 one-day excursion from Brno to the wetlands in southern Moravia and Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. The course can take place in period of May to mid September (the one-day excursion can be spread throughout the whole period). The date will be adjusted according to the time possibilities of the students during the introductive meeting to the lectures of Wetland Ecology or later by e-mail. In the case of the 5-day excursion, it is necessary to arrange the excursion date as soon as possible due to the reservation of accomodation in a reasonable price.

Course objectives

This training course is complementary to the lecture of Wetland ecology and its objective is to make the students acquainted with given questions in a field. The course is devoted to the extension of knowledge about plant ecology and community ecology with specialisation on aquatic and wetland plants and vegetation. There will be demonstrated the specificity of wetland habitats in comparison to terrestrial habitats, from adaptations of various plant groups to general principles of the community pattern respectively. On the visited localities, the students have a possibility to observe various types of aquatic and wetland vegetation and their complexes. To give the students more comprehensive view on the wetlands, attention will be paid also to the animals living in the wetlands and to their interactions with plants. The demonstrations of the influence of a man on the wetlands and discussions to the possibilities of the protection of selected localities are included too. At the end of the course, the student should complete and master the information obtained in lectures. Further, the students should get practical skills, e.g. detection of basic abiotic factors and type of management, recording of phytosociological relevés and transect in aquatic and wetland environment, determination of wetland plant species in various development stages, analysis of abundance and structure in populations of selected species, elaboration of schematic vegetation maps etc. Acquired knowledge and skills facilitate the students their research in framework of bachelor and diploma thesis with wetland specialisation and enable them also the evaluation of wetland localities for institutions of nature protection.

Syllabus

• 1) What are the wetlands? (definitions, examples, basic features of aquatic and wetland environment).
• 2) Plant and animal adaptations to the life in aquatic and wetland environment (anatomy, morphology, physiology).
• 3) Taxonomic groups of organisms occurring mainly in wetlands (in the Central Europe and the world).
• 4) Life strategies and life forms in aquatic and wetland plants (various classification schemes, examples, occurrence in different types of aquatic and wetland vegetation).
• 5) Dispersal of aquatic and wetland plants (main types, differences compared to terrestrial plants).
• 6) Types of aquatic habitats in Central Europe and their plant component (running and stagnant water, natural and man-made wetlands, permanent and temporary wetlands, classification according to trophy levels).
• 7) Vegetation succession in wetlands (silting of water bodies, succession on exposed pond bottoms).
• 8) Zonality of aquatic and wetland vegetation and its influencing factors (on different levels – within single water body or watercourse, altitudinal levels in the Czech Republic, zonality of the earth).
• 9) Aquatic plants and animals – interactions (plants as a housing, place of reproduction, and food for animals; animals as co-producers of the plant’s environment and plant dispersal vectors).
• 10) Anthropogenic impact on the distribution of aquatic and wetland vegetation (tradition of fish-farming, drying out of wetlands, water pollution, cultivation and use of aquatic and wetland plants).

Course objectives (in Czech)

Předmět je zaměřen na rozšíření znalostí o ekologii rostlin a jejich společenstev, se specializací na vodní a mokřadní rostliny a vegetaci. Úvodní přednášky vysvětlují specifičnost mokřadních biotopů oproti biotopům suchozemským na několika různých úrovních (od adaptací jednotlivých skupin rostlin až po obecné principy skladby rostlinných společenstev). Na konkrétních příkladech jsou probrány nejdůležitější typy vodní a mokřadní vegetace a jejich komplexy ve střední Evropě. Velká pozornost bude věnována působení člověka na mokřadní biotopy a možnostem jejich ochrany.

Syllabus (in Czech)

• 1) Co jsou to mokřady? (definice, příklady, základní vlastnosti vodního a mokřadního prostředí) 2) Adaptace rostlin umožňující život ve vodách a mokřadech (anatomie, morfologie, fyziologie). 3) Taxonomické skupiny vyskytující se převážně ve vodách a mokřadech (u nás i ve světě). 4) Strategie a životní formy u vodních a mokřadních rostlin (různé klasifikační systémy, příklady, zastoupení v různých typech vodní a mokřadní vegetace). 5) Šíření vodních a mokřadních rostlin (hlavní typy, rozdíly oproti suchozemským rostlinám). 6) Typy vod ve střední Evropě a jejich osídlení rostlinstvem (vody tekoucí a stojaté, přirozené a antropogenní, trvalé a periodické, rozdělení z hlediska trofie). 7) Sukcese vegetace ve vodách a mokřadech (zazemňování stojatých vod, sukcese na obnažených dnech). 8) Zonalita vodní a mokřadní vegetace a co ji ovlivňuje (na různých úrovních uvnitř jedné nádrže nebo toku, výškové členění v rámci ČR, zonalita na zeměkouli). 9) Vodní rostlinstvo a živočichové (vzájemné vazby - rostliny jako úkryt, prostředí pro rozmnožování, potrava pro živočichy, živočichové jako spolutvůrci životního prostředí rostlin, vektory šíření diaspor). 10) Vliv člověka na rozšíření vodní a mokřadní vegetace (rybníkářská tradice, vysoušení mokřadů, znečištění vod, záměrné pěstování a využití vodních a mokřadních rostlin).

Course objectives (in Czech)

Předmět je zaměřen na rozšíření znalostí o ekologii rostlin a jejich společenstev, se specializací na vodní a mokřadní rostliny a vegetaci. Úvodní přednášky vysvětlují specifičnost mokřadních biotopů oproti biotopům suchozemským na několika různých úrovních (od adaptací jednotlivých skupin rostlin až po obecné principy skladby rostlinných společenstev). Na konkrétních příkladech jsou probrány nejdůležitější typy vodní a mokřadní vegetace a jejich komplexy ve střední Evropě. Velká pozornost bude věnována působení člověka na mokřadní biotopy a možnostem jejich ochrany.

Syllabus (in Czech)

• 1) Co jsou to mokřady? (definice, příklady, základní vlastnosti vodního a mokřadního prostředí) 2) Adaptace rostlin umožňující život ve vodách a mokřadech (anatomie, morfologie, fyziologie). 3) Taxonomické skupiny vyskytující se převážně ve vodách a mokřadech (u nás i ve světě). 4) Strategie a životní formy u vodních a mokřadních rostlin (různé klasifikační systémy, příklady, zastoupení v různých typech vodní a mokřadní vegetace). 5) Šíření vodních a mokřadních rostlin (hlavní typy, rozdíly oproti suchozemským rostlinám). 6) Typy vod ve střední Evropě a jejich osídlení rostlinstvem (vody tekoucí a stojaté, přirozené a antropogenní, trvalé a periodické, rozdělení z hlediska trofie). 7) Sukcese vegetace ve vodách a mokřadech (zazemňování stojatých vod, sukcese na obnažených dnech). 8) Zonalita vodní a mokřadní vegetace a co ji ovlivňuje (na různých úrovních uvnitř jedné nádrže nebo toku, výškové členění v rámci ČR, zonalita na zeměkouli). 9) Vodní rostlinstvo a živočichové (vzájemné vazby - rostliny jako úkryt, prostředí pro rozmnožování, potrava pro živočichy, živočichové jako spolutvůrci životního prostředí rostlin, vektory šíření diaspor). 10) Vliv člověka na rozšíření vodní a mokřadní vegetace (rybníkářská tradice, vysoušení mokřadů, znečištění vod, záměrné pěstování a využití vodních a mokřadních rostlin).

Course objectives

This training course is complementary to the lecture of Wetland ecology and its objective is to make the students acquainted with given questions in a field. The course is devoted to the extension of knowledge about plant ecology and community ecology with specialisation on aquatic and wetland plants and vegetation. There will be demonstrated the specificity of wetland habitats in comparison to terrestrial habitats, from adaptations of various plant groups to general principles of the community pattern respectively. On the visited localities, the students have a possibility to observe various types of aquatic and wetland vegetation and their complexes. To give the students more comprehensive view on the wetlands, attention will be paid also to the animals living in the wetlands and to their interactions with plants. The demonstrations of the influence of a man on the wetlands and discussions to the possibilities of the protection of selected localities are included too. At the end of the course, the student should complete and master the information obtained in lectures. Further, the students should get practical skills, e.g. detection of basic abiotic factors and type of management, recording of phytosociological relevés and transect in aquatic and wetland environment, determination of wetland plant species in various development stages, analysis of abundance and structure in populations of selected species, elaboration of schematic vegetation maps etc. Acquired knowledge and skills facilitate the students their research in framework of bachelor and diploma thesis with wetland specialisation and enable them also the evaluation of wetland localities for institutions of nature protection.

Syllabus

• 1) What are the wetlands? (definitions, examples, basic features of aquatic and wetland environment).
• 2) Plant and animal adaptations to the life in aquatic and wetland environment (anatomy, morphology, physiology).
• 3) Taxonomic groups of organisms occurring mainly in wetlands (in the Central Europe and the world).
• 4) Life strategies and life forms in aquatic and wetland plants (various classification schemes, examples, occurrence in different types of aquatic and wetland vegetation).
• 5) Dispersal of aquatic and wetland plants (main types, differences compared to terrestrial plants).
• 6) Types of aquatic habitats in Central Europe and their plant component (running and stagnant water, natural and man-made wetlands, permanent and temporary wetlands, classification according to trophy levels).
• 7) Vegetation succession in wetlands (silting of water bodies, succession on exposed pond bottoms).
• 8) Zonality of aquatic and wetland vegetation and its influencing factors (on different levels – within single water body or watercourse, altitudinal levels in the Czech Republic, zonality of the earth).
• 9) Aquatic plants and animals – interactions (plants as a housing, place of reproduction, and food for animals; animals as co-producers of the plant’s environment and plant dispersal vectors).
• 10) Anthropogenic impact on the distribution of aquatic and wetland vegetation (tradition of fish-farming, drying out of wetlands, water pollution, cultivation and use of aquatic and wetland plants).

Teaching methods

Training methods: four-day field excursion in selected wetland region in the Czech Republic with demonstrations of various wetland types and plant andy animal species. On selected localities research work performed by small groups of students. If interesting data will be collected, the students will publish the results in a national specialised journal (the teacher help the students with the article ellaboration).

Assessment methods

Obtaining of the credit: the submission of the data collected in a field (e.g. relevés in database software TURBOVEG). In the case of the publication of the results each student will elaborate selected part of the article (data analysis, text writing, table and picture elaboration etc.).
