Special effort was made to include non-vascular plants and thisresulted in a number of methodological problems: the western European bias of lists,poor data on distribution, difficulties in confirming records, and sporadic occurrence ofsome species. Criterion B was applied in three cases, in areas where there was a highdiversity of fungi species and the occurrence of rare algae species. Criterion B was notwidely used because almost all threatened Czech plant communities were included inthe Criterion C list, and the remaining threatened plant communities qualified underCriterion A.Data and fieldwork: much of the information to select IPAs came from the existingdatabase of the coordinating Czech Agency – AOPK C˘ R, or was obtained frompublished records and consultations with specialists.The Natura 2000 database, createdfrom 2000-2004, provided the main source for the relatively precise statistical data givenin this report. IPA questionnaires were also important and they were completed bymany of the cooperating specialists.Almost all of them visited their areas in 2003 or2004, and those visits also generated some new data.Site selection: the national site selection strategy was to select IPAs with a range of sizesfrom a few hectares to several thousand hectares depending on the qualifying features.Sites were identified for their Criterion A populations and then for their Criterion Chabitats.The intention was not to create too many IPAs at the beginning of the project,and most IPAs fall within the boundaries of existing protected areas or the proposedNatura 2000 network. However, the identification of IPAs is not considered final and willcontinue as new data become available.Key issues: as already identified above, there were some problems in IPA identification inrelation to non-vascular plants. It is very probable that the areas delineated for the besthabitats also are the best sites for non-vascular plants, particularly fungi.This needs to beconfirmed by follow-up research for those taxonomic groups.Protection and management of IPAs in the Czech RepublicTotal IPAs with National National protection European InternationalIPAs no legal protection of IPAs (lower level) recognition recognitionprotection of IPAs of IPAs of IPAs(high level)75 7 66 17 SAC* 68 Ramsar 15Emerald 27*SAC - sites proposed to the European Commission as Special Areas for ConservationReferencesPodhajská Z., 2005: Zaostr˘eno nabotanicky významná území.Ochrana Pr˘írody, Praha , 60: 58C˘er˘ovský J., Podhajská Z. et Turon˘ová D.,2005: Botanicky významná území ...vC˘esku i jinde v Evropĕ.
