This diploma's thesis deals with critically endangered species Dianthus arenarius subsp. bohemicus from family Caryophyllaceae. Its distribution range is now limited on its last natural locality in National natural monument Kleneč. As a result of the change in land use (especially the abandonment of grazing), there was a significant reduction in its population size at the end of the 20th century and it was close to extinction. That is why action plan for species conservation was approved, which included number of management interventions at the locality. The most important was the removal of the upper humus horizon, which aims to create free gaps in the sand that allow the emergence and growth of new plants of D. arenarius subsp. bohemicus. The study species is also attacked by herbivores and it was predicted that increasing population might be endangered with increased herbivore population. The aim of this thesis is therefore to describe the population dynamics of the species, to evaluate the effect of the management and to determine how the herbivory affects the population dynamics of the species. The population growth rate decreases over time with vegetation succession. Even eight years after removal the population is still growing. The population growth rate is most affected by change in...
