Course content
Taking about caves to people who have never visited one is difficult. Cave ecosystems or other underground are common part of our nature, but environmental conditions, especially absence of light make this environment extreme not for man only but for many other organisms. Course covering definition and classification of caves and organisms occupied this ecosystem. To be possible specified caves as unique ecosystem also basic information of other important underground ecosystems (e.g. debris stones, artificial mining galleries) will be given. Within framework of course caves, artificial mining galleries and debris stones will be visited and examples of cave investigation methods will be given. Course will be oriented to the Czechia condition.
