Lesson No. 10 Warm up exercise (Who is the person ?) Conversation – Who are the two young gentlemen attending the course today? Interactive exercise Vocabulary related to phytosociology Specific flora of temporarily unknown European Country. Overview of the Lesson

The winners are given a ring of …. Sources:

What is the plant species ? mountain.htmlhttp:// mountain.html,

This is a plant species associated with tea

What is the plant species ? The sepecies are some of the fastest growing plants in the world, as some species are capable of growing 100 cm (39 in) or more per day due to a unique rhizome- dependent system. However, the growth rate is partially dependent on local soil and climatic conditions. The individuals are of notable economic and cultural significance in South Asia, South East Asia and East Asia, being used for building materials, as a food source, and as a versatile raw product. Is it bamboo ?

Can you define the term Plant Ecology ? Source of the text: Plant ecology is a subdiscipline of ecology which studies the distribution and abundance of plants, the interactions among and between members of plant species, and their interactions with their environment. their respective environments.

Desertification Explain, what desertification is, please. This is Chile. Desertification is caused mainly by ……. Overgrazing, of course. Here, the overgrazing is caused by…. Goat, of course. Source of photo: Wikipedia, desertification

Is this false color picture ? What do you think the colors represent ? Deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest. Red areas correspond to tree cover, Green areas are of herbaceous cover, and Blue areas indicate bare ground. Credit: NASA Earth Observatory. Source of photo: tropical-forests-threatened-0415/

What are the pictures documenting ? Field trip Students excursion Practical course Geobotany Glaciology Botanical nomenclature Human physiology Parasitology taxonomy Palaeophytogeography

What is that ?

Is that a GIS ? The Vegetation Data bases of the Province of Rome Vegetation mapping Phytosociological records Macchia vegetation type dryland Vegetation cover Application of remote sensing

Translate into Czech A mapping methodology allows the practical implementation of synphytosociological and geosynphytosociological surveys. The proposed methodology consists in carrying out synrelevés from vegetation maps produced through the use of geographic information system (GIS). Such mapping has the great advantage of allowing the overlaying of the study area map with many thematic maps that are particularly useful in the definition of the areas of potential vegetation.
