    • Age Estimation of Dracaena cinnabari Balf. f. on Socotra Island: A Direct Method to Determine Its Lifespan 

      Bauerová, Lucie; Maděra, Petr; Šenfeldr, Martin; Habrová, Hana (MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2023)
      Background: Dracaena cinnabari is a monocot species that does not form annual tree rings; thus, its age can only be estimated. This species is threatened by low natural regeneration, with an evident absence of younger ...
    • Ancient Coppice Woodlands in the Landscape of the Czech Republic 

      Buček, Antonín; Černušáková, Linda; Friedl, Michal; Machala, Martin; Maděra, Petr (De Gruyter Open Ltd., 2017)
      Ancient coppice woodlands are forest stands of coppice origin with a long-term continual development and preserved typical natural and historic elements of old coppices. Significant natural elements in ancient coppices ...

      We examine the distribution of Dracaena cinnabari, the Socotran Dragon's Blood Tree, an endangered species endemic to the island of Socotra (Yemen)-and we propose an accessibility approach to its conservation, taking the ...
    • Metrics of Growth Habit Derived from the 3D Tree Point Cloud Used for Species Determination-A New Approach in Botanical Taxonomy Tested on Dragon Tree Group Example 

      Vahalík, Petr; Drápela, Karel; Procházková, Andrea; Patočka, Zdeněk; Balková, Marie; Šenfeldr, Martin; Lengálová, Klára; Kalivodová, Hana; Pompeiano Vaníčková, Lucie; Ehrenbergerová, Lenka; Lvončík, Samuel; Maděra, Petr (MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)
      Detailed, three-dimensional modeling of trees is a new approach in botanical taxonomy. Representations of individual trees are a prerequisite for accurate assessments of tree growth and morphological metronomy. This study ...

      Frankincense trees (Boswellia spp.) worldwide are affected by a number of threats, including global warming and changing land management practices. On the Socotra Archipelago (Yemen), which harbours eleven endemic Boswellia ...
    • Predicted occurrence of ancient coppice woodlands in the Czech Republic 

      Maděra, Petr; Machala, Martin; Slach, Tomáš; Friedl, Michal; Černušáková, Linda; Volařík, Daniel; Buček, Antonín (Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology, 2017)
      Coppicing started in the Neolithic period and has been practiced throughout European history. This traditional silvicultural system was abandoned in many European countries during the 20th century. The Czech Republic now ...
    • Provenance affects the growth and mortality of teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) plantations cultivated in central Nicaragua 

      Černý, Jakub; Haninec, Peter; Novosadová, Kateřina; Patočka, Zdeněk; Haninec, Pavel; Maděra, Petr (Česká akademie zemědělských věd, 2023)
      Teak has been planted extensively by smallholders in Central America within reforestation programmes and has become one of the most valuable timbers. The five-year growth and mortality of teak cultivated in a plantation ...
    • Seed Viability and Potential Germination Rate of Nine Endemic Boswellia Taxa (Burseraceae) from Socotra Island (Yemen) 

      Hamdiah, Salem Ahmed Saeed; Karas, Lukáš; Houšková, Kateřina; Van Damme, Kay Patrick S; Attorre, Fabio; Vahalík, Petr; Habrová, Hana; Lvončík, Samuel; Eler, Klemen; Maděra, Petr (MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)
      The endemic Boswellia species (Burseraceae) on Socotra Island (Yemen) are of great local significance due to their various local ethnobotanical uses. However, despite the fact that these trees are endangered, little is ...
