Na základě výzkumu rostlinných společenstev v České republice se pokoušíme odpovědět na dvě otázky: Jaký je vztah mezi funkční a fylogenetickou strukturou společenstev a jejich invazibilitou? Jaký je funkční a fylogenetický vztah mezi původními druhy společenstva a nepůvodními druhy, které tato společenstva invadují?

Based on our studies of plant communities in the Czech Republic we try to answer two questions: What do we know about the functional and phylogenetic structure of plant communities and their invasibility? What is the functional and phylogenetic relationship between native species of the community and alien species invading this community?
