Characterization of randomly oriented strand boards manufactured from juvenile wood of underutilized wood species
(Springer New York, 2024)The wood-based panel industry in Europe, which is dominated by the use of Norway spruce, will face new challenges due to environmental changes and the bark-beetle calamity, which started a new era of forestry. To explore ... -
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 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 ... -
Conditions of emergence of the Sooty Bark Disease and aerobiology of Cryptostroma corticale in Europe
(Pensoft Publishers, 2023)The sooty bark disease (SBD) is an emerging disease affecting sycamore maple trees (Acer pseudoplatanus) in Europe. Cryptostroma corticale, the causal agent, putatively native to eastern North America, can be also pathogenic ... -
Cultural Tourism as a Driver of Rural Development.Case Study: Southern Moravia
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)The main aim of the study was to find out whether cultural tourism could be a driver of rural development in the selected area and in general. In case yes, to what extent and under what conditions. Three districts in the ... -
Cultural Tourism as a Possible Driver of Rural Development in Czechia. Wine Tourism in Moravia as a Case Study
(De Gruyter Open Ltd., 2020)The paper connects culture, tourism and rural development. It tries to make anoverview of various forms of cultural tourism in Czechia. Attractions of cultural tourism are identified and ranked according to their cognitive ... -
Description of Intra-Annual Changes in Cambial Activity and Differentiation of Secondary Conductive Tissues of Aesculus hippocastanum Trees Affected by the Leaf Miner Cameraria ohridella
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2021)Aesculus hippocastanum trees are commonly infested by the leaf miner Cameraria ohridella, whose larval activity causes the destruction of the leaf parenchyma and induces defoliation. Pest attacks result in, e.g., production ... -
Effect of different stand densities on xylem and phloem formation in Norway spruce plantations
(Brill, 2023)Preliminary results of an investigation of the thinning effect on Norway spruce tree growth in terms of xylogenesis and phloemogenesis are presented. Three plots were selected where the stand densities were reduced by ... -
Effect of One-Sided Surface Charring of Beech Wood on Density Profile and Surface Wettability
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2021)One-sided surface charred European beech wood (Fagus sylvatica L.) was studied. Radial and tangential specimens of dimensions of 50 x 25 x 350 mm were one-sided surface charred at 200, 250, 300, 350, and 400 degrees C for ... -
Effect of the percentage of MUF adhesive coverage on shear strength when bonding different wood species
(North Carolina State University, 2024)Due to climate changes, it is necessary to consider the use of other wood species to replace currently used woods. This work deals with the determination of the shear strength of bonded veneers (eight European wood species: ... -
Environmental Effects among Differently Located and Fertile Sites on Forest Basal-Area Increment in Temperate Zone
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)Environmental properties differently influence the growth of forest tree species. The antagonistic effects of variable environmental properties classify the forest response according to various tree compositions among ... -
European Policies and Legislation Targeting Ocean Acidification in European Waters - Current State

Evaluating the quality of surface carbonized woods modified with a contact charring or a gas flame charring technique
(Springer New York, 2023)Surface carbonization, or charring, of wooden exterior cladding boards is a modification method that creates a fully organic barrier layer in resemblance to a coating. The process effectively degrades the wood and transforms ... -
Field Measurement of Effective Leaf Area Index using Optical Device in Vegetation Canopy
(Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE), 2021)Leaf area index (LAI) is an essential canopy variable describing the amount of foliage in an ecosystem. The parameter serves as the interface between green components of plants and the atmosphere, and many physiological ... -
Forest as a source of renewable material to reduce the environmental impact of buildings
