Surface charring of silver fir wood cladding using an enhanced traditional Japanese Yakisugi method
(North Carolina State University, 2022)The aim of this work was to better understand the ignition method of timber charring in order to improve the industrial process. Three silver fir boards were tied together to make a triangular prism, which acted as a ... -
Kolmogorovʼ entropy to investigate variation of forest soil properties in the Czech Republic
(Elsevier Science BV, 2022)A measure of variation in values of physico-chemical properties of different soil groups is influenced by deterministic uncertainty. In this study, we assessed variation level of soil horizon properties in the most wide-spread ... -
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 ... -
Soil Microbial Functional Diversity under the Single-Season Influence of Traditional Forest Management in a Sessile Oak Forest of Central Europe
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2021)This one-year study focuses on the responses of a soil environment to the implementation of traditional forest management practices in oak-hornbeam stands with the following treatments: cut (C), cut + litter raking (CR), ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Predicted occurrence of ancient coppice woodlands in the Czech Republic
(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 ... -
Willingness to Pay for Forest Existence Value and Sustainability
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)Uganda is richly endowed with flora and fauna. Until the early 2000s, most of the types of vegetation have remained natural/virgin forests and shrubs until recent years, when human activities have damaged them. Understanding ... -
Diversity of Tree Species in Gap Regeneration under Tropical Moist Semi-Deciduous Forest: An Example from Bia Tano Forest Reserve
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)In a quest to improve the diversity and conservation of native tree species in tropical African forests, gap regeneration remains all-important nature-promoting silviculture practice and ecosystem-based strategy for attaining ... -
