Plenary speakers:
Ecological networks in biodiversity conservation
Carlos Hernández-Castellano (Insect Ecology Group, Faculty of Environmental Sciences, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague)
Flowering plants and pollinators are not isolated entities but interact among them, forming complex ecological networks that display recursive patterns in nature. This consistent structure, also referred to as the Architecture of Biodiversity, enables ecologists to make predictions on species assemblage processes and even pollination function. From an applied perspective, ecological network analyses can identify keystone species within communities, enhance ecosystem stability against disturbances, and even contribute to honeybee health.
Waste-derived amendments for soil remediation
Transforming industrial by-products into materials for contaminated soil recovery
doc. Mgr. Martina Vítková, Ph.D. (Department of Environmental Geosciences, Faculty of Environmental Sciences, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague)
Join us to learn how waste materials can be engineered to immobilize pollutants and restore soil functions. Let's dive into applied waste geochemistry and sustainable remediation research in mining-affected environments!
Social Programme
On Thursday, social evening will take place in the Černokostelecký pivovar.
