In the diploma we discuss the invasive alien plant species wild cucumber, Echinocystis lobata. The plant thrives in riparian zones where the plant spreads very fast and thus affects the growth of other, native plants. Based on the literature we defined the characteristics of non-native and invasive species, as well as the characteristics of the mentioned plant. We also performedthe measurements: air and soil temperature, air and soil humidity, radiation outside and inside the stand of vegetation, leaf transpiration and temperature. Based on the measurements we determined the differences in the environmental characteristics of the habitat. The aim of this study was to determine wheather the presence of Echinocystis lobata in the riparian zone changes the environmental conditions in the habitat. |
