The course pays attention to the diversity of vegetation at the area of the Czech Republic and their causes. In the first part of the course, environmental conditions of the Central Europe is briefly mentioned. The second part is devoted to the development of the vegetation after the last glacial period. The third part of the course adresses description of the main vegetation types at the area of the Czech Republic, following this structure: syntaxonomy, floristic composition, synecology, distribution in the Czech Republic, importance for the nature conservation, the role in landscape, fresh-water and wetlands communities, meadows and pastures, xerophilous grasslands, mire communities, psammophytic and halophytic communities, communities of rock fissures and debris, subalpine tall-herb communities, forest communities (alluvial woodlands, alder carrs, oak woodlands, beech woodlands, scree and ravine woodlands, spruce woodlands), dwarf-pine communities, communities of woodland clearings.
