Získané způsobilosti

Znalosti:Students have knowledge about ecological principles and exploitation of various types of resources. They know various grass-trees interactions, plant - animal interactions and nutrient cycling in the ecosystem. They have basis of herbivore's behavioural strategies and their spatio-temporal dynamics.Dovednosti:Graduates will be able to determine the resource availability and exploitation by herbivores. They can manage the pastures and rangelands.Kompetence - komunikace:Students are able to explain the importance of ecological principles in other fields of human action and to communicate with specialists and general public.Kompetence - úsudek:Students have the ability to judge the level of the food resource availability in the environment. They can provide a valuable opinion and critical analyses of published studies.
