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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Quality Attributes of Chitosan-Coated Cornelian Cherry (Cornus mas L.) Fruits under Different Storage Temperatures
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2021)
Temperature is the dominant environmental stimulus that influences the postharvest quality, visual appearance, and nutritional content of fruits. Temperature hastens fruit ripening and senescence by the impact on respiration ...
Health Beneficial Properties of Grapevine Seed Extract and Its Influence on Selected Biochemical Markers in the Blood, Liver and Kidneys of Rattus norvegicus
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2021)
Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that occurs in all areas of the environment, including the food chain. In the body, it causes oxidative stress by producing free radicals that are harmful to the cells. Grape seed extract (GSE) ...
Winter Food Availability for Wild Herbivores Depending on the Type of Forest Regeneration
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2021)
This study compares the amount of available biomass for wild herbivores (red deer (Cervus elaphus L.), roe deer (Capreolus capreolus L.), and hare (Lepus europaeus Pallas)) depending on three different types of forest ...
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 ...
Stakeholders' Perception of the Impact of the Declaration of New Protected Areas on the Development of the Regions Concerned, Case Study: Czech Republic
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2021)
Floodplain forests at the confluence of the rivers Dyje and Morava (in the southeastern tip of the Czech Republic) are completely unique ecosystems in terms of area and ecology. For many years, there has been an effort by ...
Chemometric approach to characterization of the selected grape seed oils based on their fatty acids composition and FTIR spectroscopy
(Nature Publishing Group, 2021)
Addressing the issues arising from the production and trade of low-quality foods necessitates developing new quality control methods. Cooking oils, especially those produced from the grape seeds, are an example of food ...
