Learning outcomes
|
The main goal is to introduce the problematics of classification of habitats according to the European directive for the protection of Natura 2000 habitats, their assessment of the state in terms of protection, monitoring and practical management. The field trip will focus on mapping and assessment of habitats.
Students are able to apply an active work approach and are able to independent scientific activities in the field. They are able to use a large amount of relevant data (professional literature, own practical experience in the field, the experience of experts), which are able to analyze, critically evaluate and draw appropriate conclusions. Graduates are able to apply these skills in a creative way within their research activities. Students are well prepared for further independent education and maintaining professional growth in the field. Graduates have a thoroughly mastered ability of analytical and synthetic thinking. The student will gain an orientation in the system of habitats / habitats, respectively. types of natural habitats according to the Catalog of Habitats of the Czech Republic. He will gain awareness of the system of qualitative and quantitative parameters that characterize the particular mapped polygons.
