Changes in dry grassland and thermophilous forest vegetation and the species traits explaining these changes
Míšek, Vojtěch ; Münzbergová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Větvičková, Anna (referee)
Calcareous dry grasslands and adjacent thermophilous deciduous forests are important biotopes in terms of biodiversity. They have been shaped by human activity for a long time. Grasslands were grazed or mown, forests were coppiced and the litter was raked. The abandonment of these traditional practices is the main cause why both biotopes are threatened nowadays. A return to these forms of management is essential for the restoration and protection of these communities. In my bachelor's thesis, in addition to the characteristics of dry grasslands and deciduous forests and the factors that influence the vegetation of these biotopes, I deal with species traits that can help explain and predict these changes. Key words: xerothermic grassland, thermophilous forest, vegetation change, species traits.
