Effect of wild ungulates on vegetation
Multušová, Nela ; Münzbergová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Lepková, Barbora (referee)
The grazing of wild ungulates is the key factor which significantly influences ecosystems. The presence of the ungulates manifests as grazing, but also as browsing, fecal and urine deposition and soil erosion. The grazing pressure of wild ungulates as well as grazing tolerance of plants is variable over time. Some species can cope with moderate grazing better than others and then grazing can increase species diversity. On the other hand, intensive grazing can influence plant communities negatively reducing plant diversity and supporting ruderal plant species. High population densities of wild ungulates and their intensive grazing pressure cause changes in the age and species composition of forest and non-forest ecosystem. This bachelor thesis deals with the effects wild ungulates have on forest and non forest vegetation, which are variable according to many abiotic environmental factors. The bachelor thesis also offers an insight into the issue of the wild ungulates in nationals parks and in landscape protected areas in the Czech Republic. Key words: wild ungulates, grazing, game overpopulation, regeneration
