| Description | Already a relatively long time we have been meeting with studies of relationships (dependences) between plant and animal communities, respectively between an animal component of ecosystem and environment. Biogeographic typological units (groups of forest types, geobiocoenose type groups or units of Phytosociological system) have become a framework for some of these studies. There is published a brief research overview of some animal model groups within these units in the first part of this study. Case study deals with a comparison of ecological conditions of selected localities in Zemská brána Valley and in the Valley of Lomná River. It uses the geobiocoenological concept of biogeographic differentiation of landscape and a survey of shelled snail diversity (Mollusca: Gastropoda). There was found higher species diversity in localities in the Lomná Valley. Generally, the high species diversity was found in nutrient trophic series (BC) and in moister and natural habitats. Only euryvalent species of shelled snails or no-shell snails were found on localities of poorer trophic series (A, AB even B). |
