Znalosti:Student knows basic structure and functions of agro-ecosystems. He understands the influence of abiotic factors onto organisms with possible modifications ot these factors in the range of agricultural systems. He has basic orientation in poblematic of population dynamics of agriculturally important species and biotic interactions among their populations. He understands the importance of agrobiodiversity, the methods of its measurement and protection. Student knows the specific ecology of soil and water environments, he can basically characterise biogeochemical cycles of basic biogenic elements. He has information about energy fluxes in agroecosystems. He knows the main production systems in agriculture in relation to energetic demands and their influence onto environment.Dovednosti:Student is able to describe basic elements and their connections in agroecosystems. He understands relations between particular environmental factors and their effect on organisms. He can analyse basic processes on the level of population, can identify basic elements of population dynamics and their influence on the management of abundance of agriculturally important species. He has got the information on the importance of mutual interactions in agrobiocenoses. He can specify critical points in matter cycles and energy fluxes. Student is able to analyse basic attributes of main agricultural systems. He has skills to project changes in current cropping systems and based on agro-ecological principles and the principles of sustainable agriculture.Kompetence - komunikace:Student is able to work both in the team and/or under the leadership of other person.
