🌱 How can uneven sampling bias biodiversity research? A new study on Czech flora by Klímová et al. (Masaryk Univ., Charles Univ., Institute of Botany) shows how richness estimates shift patterns & drivers incl. landscape history. 🗺️ Our dept.’s Hana Skokanová also took part!

Our colleague Olha, just came back from the unforgettable #ESA #LPS2025 symposium in Vienna!

She says:
"It was a bit of a challenge waiting for my main session on the very last day but worth it! I'm coming home full of inspiration, fresh visions, and answers to some long-standing questions." 😉
