From Labs to Life: PhD Journeys Unplugged
From coffee breaks to career tips, students explored the twists and turns of the PhD journey with those who’ve walked the path before them.
The unique Žítková meadows
Our botanists are studying the flora of the Žítková meadows in the White Carpathians. With up to 50 plant species per square meter, including rare orchids, the meadows are recognised worldwide as unique in terms of number of species.
“In a few years, these meadows could become overgrown with Chee reed grass. This tall grass, presently kept down by mowing, produces a large amount of old dry growth that covers the entire surface of the meadow and most other plants have no chance to compete with it." said Michal Hájek from the Department of Botany and Zoology, Faculty of Science, MU.
