Name:	Preparation of an action plan for Gentianella praecox subsp. bohemica

Provider:	MŽP - Finanční mechanismus EHP/Norska
Number:	03/CZ0072
Realization from:	2009

Summary:	At the beginning of the 20th century the Bohemian Early Gentian (Gentianella praecox bohemica) still occurred relatively abundantly in the entire Czech Republic except for western and north-western Bohemia and south-eastern and eastern Moravia. As a result of changes in the habitat management – abandonment of grazing and regular mowing, ploughing meadows and pastures, eutrophication of habitats, invasion of bushes etc. – the plant has been gradually disappearing in wild: currently its occurrence is limited to only 65 sites, most of them in Šumava (Bohemian Forest) and in the Šumava-Nové Hrady foothills. Aim of the project is to prepare an action plan for this species.
