fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
Course objectives
The aim of this course is to describe and interpret ecologically the major vegetational types of mires and springs and understand their relationship to environmental gradients. Lectures are supplemented by field excursion.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students should be able to:
- distinguish morphological, hydrological and trophic types of mires and similar habitats (springs, travertines, wet meadows)
- understand abiotic and biotic processes in mires
- predict species composition and structure of plant or animal assemblages in relation to ecological factors and to reconstruct and predict the succession of mire ecosystems in changing landscape.
Syllabus
  • 1)Definition and classification of mires. Hydrology.
  • 2)Biogeochemical cycles. Chemical processes in peat.
  • 3)Gradients of base saturation and nutrient availability.
  • 4)Gradients of water table depth.
  • 5)Other gradients: temperature, peat depth, sucessional gradients
  • 6)Anthropic influence
  • 7)Measurements of ecological factors

fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
Course objectives
The aim of this course is to describe and interpret ecologically the major vegetational types of mires and springs and understand their relationship to environmental gradients. Lectures are supplemented by field excursion.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students should be able to:
- distinguish morphological, hydrological and trophic types of mires and similar habitats (springs, travertines, wet meadows)
- understand abiotic and biotic processes in mires
- predict species composition and structure of plant or animal assemblages in relation to ecological factors and to reconstruct and predict the succession of mire ecosystems in changing landscape.
Syllabus
  • 1)Definition and classification of mires. Hydrology.
  • 2)Biogeochemical cycles. Chemical processes in peat.
  • 3)Gradients of base saturation and nutrient availability.
  • 4)Gradients of water table depth.
  • 5)Other gradients: temperature, peat depth, sucessional gradients
  • 6)Anthropic influence
  • 7)Measurements of ecological factors

The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives
At the end of this course, students should be able to: - describe and interpret ecologically the major vegetational types of mires and springs and understand their relationship to environmental gradients - distinguish morphological, hydrological and trophic types of mires and similar habitats (springs, wet meadows) - understand abiotic and biotic processes in mires - predict species composition and structure of plant or animal assemblages in relation to ecological factors and to reconstruct and predict the succession of mire ecosystems in changing landscape. Lectures are supplemented by field excursion.
Syllabus
