About the programme
The programme focuses on the study of processes at the level of whole ecosystems, i.e. the flows of matter, energy and information between their individual compartments. The programme is highly interdisciplinary and integrates plant and animal ecology in both terrestrial and aquatic environments. Innovative research methods such as next-generation sequencing, stable isotopes, stoichiometry, mesocosm experiments and many others are available to any applicant. A strong emphasis is placed on the experimental approach, and students' ability to design, analyze, and evaluate experiments. The program is accredited jointly with the Biology Centre of AS CR in České Budějovice
