Teplotní poměry a vegetace na lokalitě Sloní hřbet v Národním parku Podyjí

Relationships between topography, temperature and distribution of plant communities around a spur in a subsidiary of the deeply cut Dyje/Thaya river valley were studied.Temperature was measured under different weather conditions. Ellenberg indicator values were used to express the relationship of vegetation to light, temperature, continentality and moisture, and compared with temperature measurements and meteorological records. A high correlation between the spatial pattern of temperature and environmental factors estimated from the indicator values was found. Spatial pattern of temperature in the study area is determined by topography and further modified by the vegetation cover.
