Conceptions of landscape-ecological relevance emerged in the Czech botany during the second half of twentieth century
Abstrakt
This paper summarizes those substantial theoretical concepts or methods for applications within interdisciplinary or practical uses published by Czech autors (geobotanists = ecological botanists, plant ecologists and ecophysiologists) during the second half of the 20th century, that were internationally cited. All selected thematical clusters are of landscape-ecological relevance through various contexts.
Examples include the concepts of (potential) reconstructed vegetation in maps (R. Neuhäusl, Z.
Neuhäuslová), linear vegetation features (corridors in landscape) and deductive classification of vegetation (K. Kopecký), analysis of soil seed bank (Z.
Kropáč), dependency of macrophyte plant stands on ecodynamics (S. Hejný), dynamic periodicity in segetal vegetation (Z.
Kropáč, E. Hadač, S.
Hejný), anemo-orographic system explaining species richness in mountain regions (J. Jeník), productivity in grassland ecosystems (M.
Rychnovská, J. Květ), elementary landscape units based on homogenity and potential vegetation (E.
Hadač), landscape dispensation phenomena (V. Ložek), afforestation of coastal sandy dunes - the Netherlands, and polluted areas - the Czech Republic (J.
Fanta), invasive plants and invasions into landscapes (M. Rejmánek).
