Anotace

čeština

The course will introduce students to the basic methods of ecosystem research, including the study of primary production, respiration of soil and whole ecosystem decomposition, nutrient turnover, and most commonly used proxies for these parameters in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The course includes a theoretical background of the methods, principles and demonstration. It includes techniques using stable isotopes and other tracers, eddy covariance techniques, modern analytical methods including NIR FTYR and other cutting edge techniques to evaluate whole ecosystem functioning, including practical tasks in laboratory facilities and two field excursions one focused on terrestrial and the second on aquatic ecosystems.

The student's financial expenses for the excursion should not exceed 700 CZK covering the transport to cover transport costs.

The course will consist from lecture in the week from 16 to 20 June and excursion which will take place 21. June 2025

Výsledky učení

After completing the course, students will be able to:

1. Critically analyze the role of primary production, respiration, decomposition, and nutrient cycling in ecosystem dynamics.
2. Compare and contrast traditional and cutting-edge methods used for ecosystem research, including stable isotopes, tracers, and eddy covariance.
3. Utilize modern analytical techniques (e.g., NIR, FTIR) for assessing ecosystem function and structure.
4. Design and implement small-scale experiments in laboratory and field settings, interpreting complex datasets from advanced analytical tools.
5. Integrate theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience to assess ecosystem health and responses to environmental change.
