Zoologické zahrady jako objekty zahradní a krajinářské tvorby
Smékalová, Andrea
This diploma thesis deals with the design of solution for the use of vegetation elements where is taking into account the theme of zoo-exposures. We analyzed the maintenance care of vegetation elements in the environment of zoological gardens, costs incurred and possibilities of their reduction. In this thesis are defined a basic concepts of zoology, zoological environment and concepts of greenery management. Part of the work is focused on analysis of the importance of zoos and zoogeographical and phytogeographic classification of exposures in relation to vegetation. The thesis deals with approaches to greenery management in outdoor expositions of individual runs and possibilities of care for vegetation in this area. Practical part documents vegetation elements in the model area, with calculated costs for their maintenance. The mentioned area is part of the Prague Zoo. The work also includes a methodical procedure for the protection of vegetation elements directly in the expositions. The result of this work is the creating of a general methodology that would help in the future with the selection and protection of vegetation elements in given outdoor expositions. The main idea of this work is to introduce the possibility to create a space that evokes the feeling of the homeland for animals by using vegetation elements and their natural habitats and creates the correct illusive impression of the overall composition.

Geographical origin of alien plants in the Czech Republic
Kopicová, Irena ; Chuman, Tomáš (advisor) ; Matějček, Tomáš (referee)
The topic of the proposed thesis is the geographical origin of non-native species of plants in the Czech Republic and it deals with non-native plants while identifying their phyto- areas. The causes of introduction, plant characteristics as well as ecological consequences, gains and dangers for the biodiversity in the Czech Republic are also assessed. The thesis is divided into two parts with first part dealing with a theoretical introduction in a form of a literary research on the geographic origin of non-original species of higher plants in the Czech Republic. Here, the basic terminology is discussed and so are specific issues. A chapter dealing with neo-phytes contains also a subsection on invasive plants, where it was necessary to stress their potential threat to ecosystems. Second part is devoted to the application of the topic in the education of geography by creating a work sheet and by defining main terminology for high school students. The aim is to encourage students to think about which plants are important, where they come from and why and how they reached us. Likewise, it is important that students could reflex on how non- native plants may affect the ecosystem in which they had been introduced.
