Why Forest Botany?
The Lectures and courses hold at the Chair of Forest Botany teach basic principles of anatomy, morphology, genetics, and physiology, helping to understand processes of growth and living of trees and plants. This is an important connection for the scientific understanding of ecological and physiological relations and cycles. Lectures are supported by practical exercises, looking at, for example microscopic structures of the resource timber.
Teaching of botanical-ecological basics is completed by knowledge of native flora. Trees in winter, rare woody plants, as well as knowing and classifying plants are trained with lectures, student’s presentations, exercises, and excursions.
Master courses extend the knowledge in peculiarities of trees in urban areas, show possibilities in bio-indication with plants, and expand to mosses, lichens and phytopathology (tree diseases).
