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 ... -
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 ... -

Ergonomic approach in tourism for visitors with special needs
(Mendelova univerzita v Brně, 2023)The number of people with disabilities has been increasing as a result of ageing population, chronic health diseases and environmental factors such as accidents, natural disasters or conflicts. Disabled people make valuable ... -
Urban Forest Recreation and Its Possible Role throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2023)Urban forests provide benefits in terms of the environment and society. Many people living in urban areas could profit from the recreational services provided by urban forests to alleviate the physical and psychological ... -
Appraising the dielectric properties and the effectiveness of electromagnetic shielding of graphene reinforced silicone rubber nanocomposite
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2023)The aim of this research is to measure the dielectric properties and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE) of silicone rubber reinforced with graphene nanoplates. In a two-roll mill, different ... -
The role of geometry precision in frequency-resonance method for non-destructive wood assessment - numerical case study on sugar maple
(CRC Press/Taylor and Francis Group, 2023)The application of frequency-resonance method (FRM) for precise log bending testing is limited by complex geometry; usually the cone with variable cross. This case study presents the relationship among non-destructively ... -
Redescription of Diastolaimus grossus (Truskova & Eroshenko, 1977) Andrassy, 1984 (Rhabditida, Chambersiellidae) from Europe and comments on its phylogenetic position
(Cambridge University Press, 2022)Two populations of the species Diastolaimus grossus have been obtained from bark of trees in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Czech Republic. The species is described and characterized in detail using morphological techniques ... -
Wood-water interactions of thermally modified, acetylated and melamine formaldehyde resin impregnated beech wood
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2022)The wood-water interactions of modified beech wood (Fagus sylvatica L.) were studied. Specimens were thermally modified at 180 (TM1), 200 (TM2) and 220 degrees C (TM3), acetylated (Acet), and melamine formaldehyde (MF) ... -
Patterns of Ips cembrae (Herr) infestation on trap and standing trees of European larch (Larix decidua Mill.)
(Northeast Forestry University, 2023)The large larch beetle, Ips cembrae, is a significant pest causing the death of larch. In 2020, the attack density of I. cembrae on larch trap trees and standing trees was evaluated using sample sections placed along the ... -
Ecological, morphological and phylogenetic survey of Fomes fomentarius and F. inzengae (Agaricomycetes, Polyporaceae) co-occurring in the same geographic area in Central Europe
(Springer Heidelberg, 2023)The phenomenon of cryptic species is widespread among various fungal lineages. Fomes inzengae (Ces. & De Not.) Cooke has been recently recognized as a South European kin of wood-decay basidiomycete F. fomentarius (L.) Fr. ... -
Invasive bark beetle Dryocoetes himalayensis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) – A threat for walnut trees (Juglans spp.) in Europe?
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2023)As walnut trees (Juglans spp.) are of high economic importance, considerable attention has been given to invasive pests of these trees in Europe. In 2016, Dryocoetes himalayensis Strohmeyer, 1908, an alien bark beetle ... -
Spatial distribution of saproxylic beetles on trunks of standing Scots pine trees
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2023)The spatial distribution of saproxylic beetles landing and climbing stems of 12 grown and healthy Scots pine trees (Pinus sylvestris L.) was examined in detail during a 3-year trial. The beetles were sampled using sticky ... -
