ABOUT
Dita Mervartová studied at Mendel University and then at the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague. Her main research interests were agroforestry and ethnobotany in the tropics and subtropics. Particularly, the conversion of coca plantations to the agroforestry system of cocoa and the genetic diversity of the local palm Mauritia flexuosa became the key topics of her studies. Afterwards, she worked in the beautiful environment of the tropical greenhouse Fata Morgana in the Botanical Garden Prague.
