Comparison of LiDAR-based Models for True Leaf Area Index and Effective Leaf Area Index Estimation in Young Beech Forests
(Mendelova univerzita v Brně, 2020)The leaf area index (LAI) is one of the most common leaf area and canopy structure quantifiers. Direct LAI measurement and determination of canopy characteristics in larger areas is unrealistic due to the large number of ... -
A comparison of Living Standards Indicators
(Mendelova univerzita v Brně, 2017)The paper is a comparison of living standards indicators as a measure of the prevailing situation for the citizens of selected EU countries. The indicators used for comparison were representative of economic, social and ... -
Comparison of MCFA and Other Methods of Terminating Alcohol Fermentation and Their Influence on the Content of Carbonyl Compounds in Wine
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)This study deals with the effects of the use of a mixture of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) at the end of the alcohol fermentation process on the content of carbonyl compounds in wine. During the experiment, the effects ... -
Comparison of Methods for Estimating Damage by Wild Ungulates on Field Crops
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2023)High numbers of large ungulates are locally accompanied by high levels of damage to field crops, causing economic losses and increased costs for the protection of agricultural fields. Quantifying the levels of damage can ... -
Comparison of Methods for Smoothing Environmental Data with an Application to Particulate Matter PM10
(Mendelova univerzita v Brně, 2018)Data smoothing is often required within the environmental data analysis. A number of methods and algorithms that can be applied for data smoothing have been proposed. This paper gives an overview and compares the performance ... -
Comparison of microbiological parameters of fresh goat cheeses produced on farms in the Czech Republic using conventional and organic farming method
(Mendelova univerzita v Brně, 2019)The paper deals with microbiological parameters of goat cheeses produced on two farms during several years. The first farm used conventional farming method with about 130 dairy goats and the second one applied organic ... -
Comparison of parametric and nonparametric methods for modeling height-diameter relationships
(Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology, 2017)This paper focuses on the problem of regionalization of the height-diameter model at the stand level. To this purpose, we selected two different modeling techniques. As a parametric method, we chose a linear mixed effects ... -
Comparison of Proximal and Remote Sensing for the Diagnosis of Crop Status in Site-Specific Crop Management
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)The presented paper deals with the issue of selecting a suitable system for monitoring the winter wheat crop in order to determine its condition as a basis for variable applications of nitrogen fertilizers. In a four-year ... -
Comparison of Rainfall Partitioning and Estimation of the Utilisation of Available Water in a Monoculture Beech Forest and a Mixed Beech-Oak-Linden Forest
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2023)Monoculture forests formed by Fagus sylvatica L. belong to one of the most sensitive forest ecosystems, mainly at low altitudes. Cultivation of this species in mixed stands should reduce its sensitivity to drought in the ... -
Comparison of technical methods of securing closed landfills in the Czech Republic and Poland
(Szkoła Główna Gospodarstwa Wiejskiego w Warszawie, 2019)Landfills and/or open dumpsites have been the common practice for municipal solid waste disposal all over the world. Landfilling is one of the oldest and still most frequently used waste disposal methods. The purpose of ... -

Comparison of the Biomass and Dendrometric Parameters of Norway Spruce with Its Different Representations in Young Stands at Lower Altitudes in the Czech Republic
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2023)In forestry, it is still common to plant the seedlings of and cultivate Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst) at lower altitudes; however, the climatic change that has been occurring increases evaporative demands in these ... -
Comparison of Two Different Management Practices under Organic Farming System
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2021)Organic farmers usually do not have the opportunity to address the actual symptoms of deficiency through the foliar application of synthetic fertilization, therefore, the main treatment is realized by green manure crop ... -
