This article provides a brief summary of initiatives to establish the National Park in 1963 and describes the first activities in its administration and the problems it faced under the impact of industrial pollution in the 1980s. In that time, it was put on the list of the 12 most endangered national parks in the world. In the 1990s the cooperation of the Dutch FACE Foundation with its fi nancial support, the University of Amster dam with its scientific expertise and the enthusiasm of the National Park working team gave rise to a restoration process, which is still going on to this day, bringing the park back to its position as one of the most valuable natural areas in the country. and Josef Fanta.
Semi-natural grasslands form an important part of the National Park and determine the landscape character of the area. Due to migration and human activities, plant species from the foothills and alpine areas have come into contact in the montane zone and coexist in new communities. The mechanisms behind the high diversity of local grasslands have been investigated since the 1980s. and Hana Skálová, František Krahulec.
V srdci Austrálie, v jejím vyprahlém středu na jihu Severního teritoria, se nachází národní park Uluru – Kata Tjuta, zaujímající plochu 1 326 km2 a vyhlášený v r. 1985, kde je chráněna unikátní aridní a semiaridní krajina s dominantami dvou skalních útvarů. Z nich je známější jeden z největších pověstných monolitů, domorodým národem Anangů nazývaný Uluru. Uluru má pro místní obyvatele nesmírný kulturní a náboženský význam. Celé území okolo skály Uluru a soustavy nedalekých skalních homolí (Kata Tjuta) odpradávna patřilo místnímu národu Anangů (kmeny Pitjantjatjara a Yankuntjatjara) a zároveň bylo podle pověstí křižovatkou domorodých cest stvoření. Australská vláda v r. 1985 vrátila celé území Anangům a je zapsáno do Seznamu světového kulturního a přírodního dědictví UNESCO. V národním parku bylo zaznamenáno přes 600 druhů rostlin, potvrzeny zatím byly čtyři druhy žab, 74 druhů plazů, 176 druhů ptáků, 50 druhů savců a množství druhů bezobratlých., The Uluru – Kata Tjuta National Park is Australian aboriginal land, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Area. The park covers 1 326 km2 and is located near the centre of the continent, in arid and semi-arid landscape. Uluru (also called Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta are world-renowned rocks made from arkose sandstone and conglomerate. Unique natural and cultural features of this park are mentioned and examples of typical landscape, plant and animal species (both native and alien) are presented., and Lubomír Hanel, Jana Hanelová.
Considering its relatively small area and modest altitude the Krkonoše Mts. (Giant Mts.) offers a large number of unique geological and particularly geomorphological features and phenomena. This abiotic component is of key importance for the landscape formation. The geological structure of the mountain range and processes shaping the geomorphology of the Krkonoše Mts. are summarized. and Vlastimil Pilous.
Abandonment of semi-natural grasslands in the Krkonoše Mountains National Park has resulted in substantial changes in their structure and species composition. Alternative management strategies to maintain species diversity have been tested since the 1990s. These include different combinations of mowing, fertilization, grazing and mulching. and Hana Skálová, František Krahulec.
