The Department of Phytology cover academic subject areas of systematic botany, phytosociology, forest typology, vegetation dynamics and ecology, population and evolutionary genetics, forest tree breeding, embryology and forest tree species propagation, biotechnologies. Recently the interests of the Department expanded also to population, evolutionary and conservation genetics of game and wildlife species. Our overall goal is to contribute to the understanding biodiversity and to provide innovative and practical outputs that help to measure, manage and conserve biodiversity.
