Intervention analysis of COVID-19 pandemic impact on timber price in selected markets
(Elsevier Science BV, 2024)
Using intervention analysis and time series of roundwood prices from ten European and North American countries, we analyzed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the movement of timber prices. The study material consists ...
Temporal and spatial variability of phloem structure in Picea abies and Fagus sylvatica and its link to climate
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2024)
Using a unique 8-year data set (2010-2017) of phloem data, we studied the effect of temperature and precipitation on the phloem anatomy (conduit area, widths of ring, early and late phloem) and xylem-ring width in two ...
Waste sulfur from biogas desulphurization: a supplement of Brassica napus L. nutrition
(Taylor & Francis Inc., 2024)
The content of sulfur in soils has been declining. Possible option to supply sulfur into the soil can be utilization of waste sulfur from biogas production. Two pot experiments with identical treatments were established ...
Monitoring Drought Tolerance Mechanisms of Sorghum and Maize Under Unevenly Distributed Precipitation
(Springer Switzerland, 2024)
The study examines the morpho-physiological differences in leaf characteristics between two species of C4 plants: sorghum and maize. The research was conducted in field conditions where plants were rainfed. Both species ...
First species record of Strigea falconis Szidat, 1928 (Trematoda, Strigeidae) from gyrfalcon Falco rusticolus in Iceland-pros and cons of a complex life cycle
(Springer Heidelberg, 2024)
Strigea falconis is a common parasite of birds of prey and owls widely distributed in the Holarctic. We aimed to characterise S. falconis from Iceland via integrative taxonomic approach and to contribute to the understanding ...
A comprehensive investigation of geoenvironmental pollution and health effects from municipal solid waste landfills
(Springer Netherlands, 2024)
This study investigates human health risks associated with heavy metals (HMs) occurrence in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. For testing of selected MSW landfills steps were involved, including site characterization, ...
Distribution of pesticides in agroecosystem food webs differ among trophic groups and between annual and perennial crops
(Springer France, 2024)
Pesticides threaten biodiversity, but we know little about how they permeate food webs. Few studies have investigated the number, concentration, and composition of pesticides in agroecosystem food webs even though ...
Element contents and their seasonal dynamics in leaves of alder Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn
(Springer International Publishing AG, 2024)
Alnus glutinosa is an actinorhizal plant that fixes N via actinomycetes. Compared to other trees, A. glutinosa is more resistant to environmental stress and able to uptake soil nutrients more easily. Alnus glutinosa grows ...
A constitutive model considering creep damage of wood
(Springer Netherlands, 2024)
The serviceability of wooden structures involves multiphysical phenomena, notably the interactions among creep, plasticity, and damage. The influence of creep on the initialization of the damage and on its growth and spread ...
Eurasian aspen (Populus tremula L.): Central Europe's keystone species 'hiding in plain sight'
(Public Library of Science, 2024)
Knowledge of Eurasian aspen's (Populus tremula L.) ecological and growth characteristics is of high importance to plant and wildlife community ecology, and noncommercial forest ecosystem services. This research assessed ...
