VEGA (2016): The historic structures of landscape and their importance for the conservation of landscape´s stability and

biodiversity [1/0103/14] - co-investigator. The project is focused on the research of high-trunked orchards representing the last remnants of semi-natural

habitats of agrarian country. Conceptually, the work is build on the results of another VEGA project no. 1/0544/11 titled „Landscape ecological evaluation of the historical elements of agricultural landscape“. It envisages extended knowledge of orchard´s biocenosis and their components, which are affected by the use of management measures. Research should bring awareness of the impact that is caused on selected groups of flora and fauna

because of the changes of forms, intensity and repeatability of management measures, as well as the importance of high-trunked orchards for conservation of landscape´s biodiversity.
