Specifications

Using sophisticated software tools and knowledge from databases on invasive species and their habitats, their behavior in the near future can be modeled. That provides valuable input useful for conservation needs as well as the needs of private landowners.

The output is a comprehensible model of the propagation of the selected species for the selected area, possibly in the context of the whole country.

The work can be paid for as other personnel costs or as a service (business license).

Sample:

Conditions

The modeling of propagation can be performed at any time depending on the amount of required outputs.

The price is contractual according to the scope and complexity of the work.

Monitoring the incidence of invasive species in the Czech countryside

Specifications

Monitoring the incidence of invasive plant species is suitable for all types of habitats from legally protected areas to the immediate vicinity of human settlements both for private needs and for conservation, thus, for example, specialized studies for subsidy and grant titles, inventory surveys, etc.

According to the agreement with the client, several visits are performed during which the territory of interest is explored and assessed in terms of the incidence of non-native species. The results can also be compared with the surrounding habitat, with other locations of a similar type and the historic state of the place.

The outcome is a monitoring report with a list of species with commentary (expert opinion, inventory report, etc.)

The work can be paid for as other personnel costs or as a service (business license).

Sample:http://www.daphne.cz/webfm_send/8

Conditions

Monitoring should be conducted during the growing season, as well as immediately after its completion, depending on the current developments in the weather.

The price is contractual according to the scope and complexity of the work.

Invasive plants

Characteristics

The invasive plants team at USB FS monitors the spread of many invasive and potentially invasive non-native species from different backgrounds in the Czech Republic and elsewhere in the world. In collaboration with foreign universities they are engaged in the study of individual invasive species and assessing their impact on indigenous communities.

Specifications

The subject of archeozoological analysis is the study of bones, teeth and other parts of animal bodies (e.g. horns, hooves, shellfish shells, etc.) in an archaeological context. The analysis uses and incorporates knowledge from the natural and humanities fields. There is very close cooperation especially with archeology, which expands on the zoological findings e.g. with temporal and spatial information.

Sample:http://lape.prf.jcu.cz/specializace/archeozoologie/

Conditions

The laboratory performs sampling for analysis or ensures the removal of animal bones at the site of analysis at the archaeological site for the customer. In the laboratory, analysis is performed consisting of a detailed description and measurements of each bone according to archaeozoological standards. The data is stored in a archaeozoological database. We usually count the time of technical collection and consultation, as well as the time spent by the analyst on the given project during the analysis. The price is usually around 400 CZK per hour without VAT. The product is a comprehensive analytical report, usually transmitted in digital form.

Analysis of plant macro-remains and pollen

Specifications

The service specializes in the search for, separation and evaluation of plant macro-remains and pollen from different contexts of primarily archaeological sites. It concerns cultural layers and the filling of archaeological objects or the filling of permanently waterlogged sites and objects, such as wells, reservoirs, water mains, cellars, as well as lakes or blind branches of rivers. The searched-for objects are usually plant seeds or parts of fruits, but also needles, buds, grain husks and straw residues. Based on the plant structure it is then possible to evaluate which main crop plants (cereals, legumes, fruits, vegetables, spices, technical plants) were grown at the site or collected, but not only that. According to the discovered seeds of wild species it is possible to at least roughly reconstruct the immediate surroundings of the site, i.e. fields, meadows, waste areas, waterlogged habitats, forests and shrub formations.
