Barbora Lachová Praha 2017 1 Geoecological preferences of red deer in the Bohemian & Bavarian Forests NPs Abstract In central Europe, the red deer (Cervus elaphus) is a common species. It's population density is very high in the Bohemian & Bavarian Forest NPs. Therefore, a selective management is used to control red deer population, because of the need to conserve young regrowing forests. Knowledge of a typical habitat, geoecological preferences and space-time use of the environment is very useful for red deer management and for understanding it's life strategies. Data about deer location are most often collected by GPS - telemetry technology. In this thesis, data from thirteen individuals equipped with GPS-collars are processed and analysed. Red deer choose their location primarily according to food resources availability. Movement of red deer individuals is also influenced by human disturbance. In the review part habitat requirements, environmental factors and Bohemian & Bavarian NPs environment characteristics are described.
