Course content
|
The course is designed as a three-day field instruction focused on learning about the natural conditions and biogeographical relationships in the landscape of the Jičín region and the Bohemian Paradise. During field exercises, students become familiar with the geological structure of the area, geomorphological features, the species composition of present organisms, and ecological relationships between organisms and their environment. Emphasis is placed on practical identification of organisms in the field, interpretation of landscape structures, understanding the influence of abiotic factors on biota, and, to a limited extent, discussion of nature conservation and sustainable landscape use. Study materials: internal methodological materials and instructions for field exercises, map resources for the visited localities, identification keys, and regional natural science literature related to the Jičín region and the Bohemian Paradise.

Learning outcomes
|
Practical acquaintance with geology, zoology and botany in the field.
After completing the course, the student: recognizes selected species of plants, animals, minerals, and rocks typical of the visited localities, explains the relationship between geological substrate, soil, and the species composition of vegetation, describes basic ecological processes (succession, adaptation to extreme conditions, human impact on the landscape), interprets field observations within broader natural science contexts.

|
Prerequisites
|
Basic knowledge of botany, zoology, geology, and ecology at the level of a secondary school curriculum, the ability to navigate in the field, and to work with identification keys are required. Students are expected to apply theoretical knowledge during direct observation of nature and to infer ecological relationships between organisms and their environment.
