Ecology of alpine plants at their uppermost limit in the Himalayas
 CHLUMSKÁ, Zuzana
This dissertation studies the key abiotic factors and plant characteristics that influence the performance of the highest growing herbaceous alpine plants in Ladakh, Western Himalayas, and examines vegetation changes likely associated with climate change. The study site, located in the Rupshu region of eastern Ladakh, hosts some of the world´s highest-growing angiosperm plant species that occur above 6000 m a.s.l. The gentle slopes characteristic for the region, resulting in long elevational gradients, are particularly suitable for studying plant adaptations to the harsh dry and cold environment typical of whole Ladakh. The study presents novel insights into the causes of plant elevation limits and the direction of the vegetation shifts related to climate change at the very edge of the existence of angiosperms.

Functional traits of high-altitude plants in Eastern Ladakh (NW Himalayas)
 CHLUMSKÁ, Zuzana
Functional traits of 217 high altitude plants were studied in Eastern Ladakh (NW Himalayas, India). Changes in functional traits along altitudinal and moisture gradient were analysed. Plants were classified into 9 different habitats according to their frequency of occurence.

Common ash (\kur{Fraxinus excelsior}) expansion in the Vyšenské kopce National Nature Reserve
 CHLUMSKÁ, Zuzana
There are lots of observations about recent expansion of native European tree Fraxinus excelsior. This study aims to describe some patterns of F. excelsior expansion in a limestone area of the Vyšenské kopce National Nature Reserve. Data on seedling occurrence and some habitat preferences of F. excelsior juvenile stages were obtained, also the history of Fraxinus expansion was analysed. Susceptibility of individual vegetation types to the expansion was evaluated.
