Abstract
One of the giants in Czechoslovakia – now the Czech Republic – in plant water relations, Professor Jan Čermák, passed away on December 23, 2021, in Brno, Czech Republic. Following in the footsteps of earlier noted Czech physiological ecologists – Jiří Čatský, Pavol Eliáš, Josef Huzulák, Zdeněk Šesták and Bohdan Slavík – Jan Čermák carved a reputation in plant water relations. Unlike the others, Čermák collaborated globally in his research endeavors, and these collaborations spanned almost four decades.Keywords
