Course Enrolment Limitations

The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.

fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with

• Plant Biosystematics (programme PřF, N-BOT)
• Plant Ecology (programme PřF, N-BOT)
• Nature Conservation - Botany (programme PřF, N-OCH)

Course objectives

Characteristics of the major types of European vegetation and habitats are given according to the main biogeographical regions. The focus is on the ecology of dominant species, notably trees, potential natural vegetation of particular regions, biogeographical affinities of the most typical species, history, dynamics and human impact. Conservation applications of the habitat classification are also emphasized, including the European Habitats Directive, EUNIS Habitats Classification and European Red List of Habitats.

Learning outcomes

After finishing this course, the student will:
- be able to identify the main types of European vegetation and habitats in particular biogeographical regions;
- know plant species that are the main dominants of vegetation and habitat types, their ecology and biogeography;
- understand ecological and biogeographical processes that have been shaping European ecosystems and habitat types;
- be familiar with applications of habitat classification in international nature conservation.

Syllabus

• 1. Introduction: history of European vegetation research, phytosociologial classification system, main literature and other information resources.
• 2. European habitat classifications and their use: European Habitats Directive (Natura 2000 network), Bern Convention habitats (Emerald network), EUNIS Habitat Classification, European Red List of Habitats.
• 3. Natural conditions of Europe: effects of abiotic and historical factors on European biogeography, the division of Europe into vegetation-geographical regions.
• 4. Mediterranean region: sclerophyllous forests, Mediterranean shrublands and grasslands, coastal dunes, cliffs and saltmarshes.
• 5. Submediterranean region: deciduous and coniferous forests, thermophilous deciduous shrublands, thermophilous grasslands.
• 6. Southern European mountain systems: altitudinal vegetation belts, vegetation and habitats of the high mountains of the Iberian, Italian and Balkan Peninsulas and of the large Mediterranean islands.
• 7. Crimean Mountains and Caucasus: steppe, forest-steppe, submediterranean and mountain habitats of Crimea, mountain habitats of the Great and Lesser Caucasus, Euxinian, Colchic and Hyrcanian forests, deserts and semi-deserts of Azerbaijan.
• 8. Steppe and forest-steppe: zonal types of Eastern European steppe and forest-steppe, forests of the forest-steppe zone, forest-steppe of Romania, Bulgaria and the Pannonian Basin.
• 9. Alps: historical and current biogeography, altitudinal vegetation belts, mountain forests, habitats of the subalpine and alpine belts.
• 10. Carpathians: historical and current biogeography of the Carpathians, altitudinal vegetation belts, mountain forests, habitats of the subalpine and alpine belts.
• 11. Central Europe north of the Alps: Central European broad-leaved deciduous forests, habitats of the Hercynian mountain systems, habitats of the Central European Plain.
• 12. Atlantic region: oceanic broad-leaved deciduous forests, heathlands, mires, coastal dunes, cliffs and saltmarshes.
• 13. Boreal region: taiga, mires, habitats of the Scandinavian mountains and Iceland.
• 14. Arctic region: zonal types tundra.

Teaching methods

Lecture if there are at least four students. In the semesters when there are fewer than four registered students, these students follow the lectures on the YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnmHswspozDbR1F1cp-d0Dk9nO8efY7Rp while the lecturer provides consultations during the semester based on a previous agreement with the students. All the study materials are available at https://www.sci.muni.cz/botany/chytry/veg-eu.html.

Assessment methods

Written with open questions testing the knowledge of ecology, distribution and dominant plant species of the main vegetation formations and habitats of Europe. In case of worsening epidemiological situation, the exam can be oral through a videocall.

fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with

• Plant Biosystematics (programme PřF, N-BOT)
• Plant Ecology (programme PřF, N-BOT)

Course objectives

Characteristics of the major types of European vegetation and habitats are given according to the main biogeographical regions. The focus is on the ecology of dominant species, notably trees, potential natural vegetation of particular regions, biogeographical affinities of the most typical species, history, dynamics and human impact. Conservation applications of the habitat classification are also emphasized, including the European Habitats Directive, EUNIS Habitats Classification and European Red List of Habitats.

Learning outcomes

After finishing this course, the student will:
- be able to identify the main types of European vegetation and habitats in particular biogeographical regions;
- know plant species that are the main dominants of vegetation and habitat types, their ecology and biogeography;
- understand ecological and biogeographical processes that have been shaping European ecosystems and habitat types;
- be familiar with applications of habitat classification in international nature conservation.

Syllabus

• 1. Introduction: history of European vegetation research, phytosociologial classification system, main literature and other information resources.
• 2. European habitat classifications and their use: European Habitats Directive (Natura 2000 network), Bern Convention habitats (Emerald network), EUNIS Habitat Classification, European Red List of Habitats.
• 3. Natural conditions of Europe: effects of abiotic and historical factors on European biogeography, the division of Europe into vegetation-geographical regions.
• 4. Mediterranean region: sclerophyllous forests, Mediterranean shrublands and grasslands, coastal dunes, cliffs and saltmarshes.
• 5. Submediterranean region: deciduous and coniferous forests, thermophilous deciduous shrublands, thermophilous grasslands.

• 7. Crimean Mountains and Caucasus: steppe, forest-steppe, submediterranean and mountain habitats of Crimea, mountain habitats of the Great and Lesser Caucasus, Euxinian, Colchic and Hyrcanian forests, deserts and semi-deserts of Azerbaijan.
• 8. Steppe and forest-steppe: zonal types of Eastern European steppe and forest-steppe, forests of the forest-steppe zone, forest-steppe of Romania, Bulgaria and the Pannonian Basin.
• 9. Alps: historical and current biogeography, altitudinal vegetation belts, mountain forests, habitats of the subalpine and alpine belts.
• 10. Carpathians: historical and current biogeography of the Carpathians, altitudinal vegetation belts, mountain forests, habitats of the subalpine and alpine belts.
• 11. Central Europe north of the Alps: Central European broad-leaved deciduous forests, habitats of the Hercynian mountain systems, habitats of the Central European Plain.
• 12. Atlantic region: oceanic broad-leaved deciduous forests, heathlands, mires, coastal dunes, cliffs and saltmarshes.

The focus is on ecology of dominant species, notably trees, potential natural vegetation of particular regions, phytogeographical affinities of the most typical species, habitats, history and dynamics, including human influences.

Syllabus

• 1. Major climatic gradients in Europe, division of Europe into vegetation-geographical regions, main literature sources on European vegetation.
• 2. Mediterranean vegetation.
• 3. Submediterranean vegetation.
• 4. Vegetation of southern European mountain ranges.
• 5. Vegetation of Crimea and the Caucasus.
• 6. Vegetation of eastern European steppe.
• 7. Forest steppe of eastern and central Europe.
• 8. Vegetation of the Alps.
• 9. Vegetation of the Carpathians.
