Fitocenologija je veda o rastlinskih združbah, o 

njihovi sestavi, razmerju do okolja, razvoju in 

razširjenosti v času in prostoru. Je hkrati tudi 

veda, ki se ukvarja z uvrščanjem rastlinskih 

združb v sistem rastlinskih združb (t.i. 

sinsistem). V okviru predmeta bodo 

predstavljeni osnovni koncepti in definicije v 

fitocenologiji in zgodovina nastanka in razvoja 

vede. Obravnavane bodo metodologije 

vzorčenja, obdelave vegetacijskih podatkov in 

oblikovanja sistema rastlinskih združb. 

Študenti se bodo seznanili s poglavitnimi tipi 

rastlinskih združb v Sloveniji. Znanja, 

pridobljena na predavanjih, bodo študenti 

utrdili na praktičnih vajah in pri terenskem 

pouku. Pridobljeno znanje bodo preizkusili v 

okviru samostojnega dela. 


ECTS 

Phytocoenology is the study of the plant 

communities, their structure, relationship 

with environment, development and their 

distribution in time and space. It is also 

study, which deals with the classification of 

plant communities in synsystem. In the 

frame of this subject the basic concepts 

and definitions in phytocoenology will be 

presented and also the history of its 

development. The methodologies for 

sampling and analyzing the vegetation data 

as well as for the creation of synsytem of 

pant communities will be presented and 

discussed. Students will make acquaintance 

with the principal types of plant communities 

in Slovenia The knowledge acquired on 

lectures will be used in practical and field 

work during their individual work.

V okviru predmeta bodo študentje spoznali 

tri osnovne skupine, ki so predmet 

obravnave v mikrobiologiji (virusi, bakterije, 

glive – deloma), značilnosti njihove 

zgradbe, osnove sistematike ter njihov 

ekološki pomen v različnih okoljih. 

Obnovili bodo osnove metabolnih reakcij 

(redoks reakcije, fermentacija, aerobna in 

anaerobna respiracija) ter spoznali 

metabolno raznolikost prokariotov - 

heterotrofni, avtotrofni in litotorofni 

metabolizem. Poudarek bo na nekaterih 

metabolnih posebnostih prokariotov 

(fiksacija dušika, redukcija sulfata, 

metanogeneza, razgradnja polimerov) in 

ECTS 

Students will get familiar with the three large 

groups which are objectives of microbiology 

(viruses, bacteria, fungi – partially), their 

structure, basic systematic and ecological 

importance within different ecosystems. 

Basic metabolic reactions (redox reactions, 

fermentation, aerobic and anaerobic 

respiration) and the metabolic diversity of 

prokaryotes will be addressed 

(heterotrophic, autotrophic and litotrophic 

metabolism). Some specific types of 

metabolisms (nitrate fixation, sulfate

prokariotov z višjimi organizmi, ki so lahko 

pozitivne (pomen normalnih mikrobov pri 

človeku, živalih in rastlinah, pomen 

mikrobnih simbiotov) ali negativne 

(nalezljive bolezni ter vpliv ekoloških 

sprememb na njihov razvoj in širjenje). 

Spoznali bodo posebnosti zgradbe 

bakterijskega in virusnega genoma, 

mehanizme horizontalnih prenosov 

dednine in posebnosti pri načinu

elements will be studied into more detail. 

Interactions of prokaryotes with heavy 

metals and xenobiotics as well as their 

potential use in bioremediation will be 

addressed. 

Students will learn about mechanisms and 

the importance of interactions of microbes 

with higher organisms: the role of normal 

microbes in humans, animals and plants 

(positive effects) and effect of ecological 

changes on emergence and dispersion of 

infectious diseases (negative effects). 

Students will learn the structure of bacterial 

and viral genome, the mechanisms of 

horizontal transfer of genetic information 

and examples of gene regulation in 

prokaryotes. 

In practical work, students will learn the 

basic techniques of isolation, cultivation and 

identification of ecologically important 

microorganisms.

Predmet ekološke obravnave organizmov so 

njihova medsebojna razmerja ter razmerja med 

njimi in neživim okoljem. Organizmi so kot 

odprti kibernetski sistemi neprestano v 

interakciji z živim in neživim okoljem, pri čemer 

veljajo splošne zakonitosti pretoka snovi, 

energije in informacij. Pri ekofiziološki 

obravnavi so izpostavljeni splošni fiziološki 

mehanizmi delovanja organizmov v povezavi z 

določenim okoljem. Pri obravnavi ekosistemov 

je poudarek na kibernetskem funkcioniranju 

življenjskih združb v določenih življenjskih 

prostorih. Pokrajinski ekosistemi, biomi in 

ekosfera so predstavljeni sumarično. Pri 

obravnavi se vseskozi prepletajo ekološki, 

okolje- ter naravovarstveni pristop, ob 

primerjanju skladnosti oziroma neskladij med 

naravno in družbeno ekonomiko. Vzori se 

nanašajo na izbrane primere v svetu in v 

domačem okolju. Prevladuje obravnavanje 

ECTS 

The objectives of the ecological 

consideration of organisms are interaction 

between them, and between them and their 

abiotic environment. Organisms, being open 

kybernetic systems, continually interact with 

their abiotic environment, which is subjected 

to general laws of matter, energy and 

informational flux. In ecophysiological 

consideration, general physiological 

mechanisms of organismic functioning in 

their environment are stressed. In the 

ecosystem approach, the kybernetical 

functioning of biocoenoses in different 

biotops are pointed out. The land 

ecosystems, bioms and the ecosphaere are 

considered summary. The ecological, 

human environmental and natural 

preservation are compared throuhgout the 

lecture, focusing on the display of the 

in/compatibility of the natural and social

živalskih organizmov. 

economics. World known cases and those in 

the native environment are considered. 

Throughout the Subject, animals are 

prevailably considered.

Vsebina: 

Pod »višje rastline« razumemo semenke 

(Spermatophyta), razdeljene na skupine 

Coniferophytina, Cycadophytina (golosemenke) in 

Magnoliophytina (kritosemenke). Pri 

kritosemenkah ohranjamo tradicionalno delitev na 

dvokaličnice in enokaličnice. Pri golosemenkah je 

poudarek na filogeniji in evoluciji, predvsem 

primerjalno s praprotnicami. Sledi pregled 

taksonomskih skupin in njihove morfologije, 

reprodukcije in – na kratko – ekologije. 

Izpostavljeni so trendi razvoja kritosemenk. Pri 

kritosemenkah je na začetku poudarek na 

evolucijsko izvirnih znakih, nato pa sledi pregled 

sistema po redovih in družinah. Podan je 

filogenetski položaj redov, morfologija družin ter 

pregled pomembnejših rodov in vrst. 


Prerequisits: 


As »higher plants« seed plants (spermatophytes, 

Spermatophyta) are understood, which contain 

three groups: Coniferophytina, Cycadophytina 

(gymnosperms) and Magnoliophytina 

(angiosperms). Among angiosperms the traditional 

division to dicotyledons and monocotyledons is 

kept. Among gymnosperms phylogeny and 

evolution are emphasized, predominately in 

comparison with pteridophytes. Than follow a 

survey of their morphology, reproduction and 

briefly the ecology. The evolutionary trends of 

angiosperms are discussed. At the beginning of 

angiosperms, their evolutionary primitive characters 

are emphasized, than follows the survey of orders, 

families. The phylogenetic position of the orders is 

given, as well as the morphology of the families and 

most important genera and species.
