The topics will be separated into four parts: 1. Anthropogenic interventions and their impact on soil - influence of human activities on landscape and soil quality, historical periods, population explosions, agriculture, mining, positive and negative impacts on soil quality, characteristics of main anthropogenic influences on landscape and soil, global and regional soil degradation. 2. Landscape reclamation - basic principles of landscape revitalization in terms of biological principles of revitalization measures. Creation of reclamation soils and dumps - anthropogenic forms of relief. Influence of anthropogenic activity in north-west Czechia, and development of reclamation soils. Complex issues of reclamation in north-west Czechia - forestry, agricultural, hydrological and other reclamation. Examples of reclamation and revitalization of the area after mining abroad (Leipzig region, Lusatian lakes in Germany). 3. Landscape revitalization - approaches and basic principles for landscape revitalization, theoretical foundations of landscape revitalization and landscape ecology, procedures for landscape revitalization: determination of the degree of disturbance, decision on the need for revitalization, proposal of revitalization measures, determination of success rate, legal aspects. Revitalization of ecosystems in protected areas and ecosystem management. Revitalization of the water regime of the landscape. Revitalization of ecological stability of the cultural landscape (degree of ecological stability, evaluation of landscape character, monitoring of changes in the landscape). Revitalization of anthropogenically formed segments of the landscape (revitalization procedures - leaving to spontaneous development, controlled succession, reclamation, monitoring the consequences of interventions in the landscape). Different concepts of sustainable development and its indicators. 4. Soil remediation techniques - methods applicable for remediation of contaminated soil, in-situ vers. ex-situ technologies, biotechnology vers. abiotic technologies, overview of bioremediation and phytoremediation technologies leading to pollution elimination, stabilization, modification, and detoxification, innovative approaches, linkage of bioremediation technologies with production.
