Description

The influence of invasive alien species on natural ecosystems has been recognised as one of the major threats to biodiversity. Biodiversity decreases due to changes in the structural and functional characteristics of particular ecosystems. These changes are often irreversible, and their influence can be mainly observed in rare and endangered types of habitats protected as nature reserves or localities of European importance. The project objective is the elimination of invasive alien plant species (IAS) spreading by the application of Methodological Approaches of the Ministry of the Environment CZ. The Monitoring of the IAS will be applied where the monitoring and rapid IAS control will protect the site. The Effectiveness of IAS control will be applied at localities of IAS massive presence. Application of the methodologies will be used as illustrative examples of a formalized approach to nature protection.
