Enhancing fire safety and thermal performance: Wood composites with bio-based phase change materials and fire retardants for building applications
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2024)This work explores the elaboration of wood particle-based composites incorporating bio-based phase change materials, with epoxidized linseed oil or clay as a binder. Fire performance evaluation of the novel composites ... -
Transformation of dry dipterocarp to dry evergreen forests alters food webs of web-building spiders and their prey
(Springer Netherlands, 2024)Anthropogenic habitat modification is a major contributor to global change. While the modification of natural habitats to agroecosystems attracts most of the attention, little is known about the conversion of one natural ... -
Combined effects of rainfall-runoff events and antecedent soil moisture on runoff generation processes in an upland forested headwater area
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2024)In this study, we investigate the combined effect of different rainfall-runoff event types and antecedent soil moisture (ASM) on runoff processes in the headwater elementary discharge area of a small forested upland ... -
Bark beetles on logging residues of European larch: Effects of shading and diameter of logging residues on infestation density
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2024)1. Ips cembrae, an important pest of European larch (Larix decidua), has caused local outbreaks in the last two decades and is becoming increasingly important as the proportion of European larch in forests increases. 2. ... -
Hidden Phytophthora diversity unveiled in tree nurseries of the Czech Republic with traditional and metabarcoding techniques
(Springer Netherlands, 2024)Phytophthora diversity was examined in eight forest and ornamental nurseries in the Czech Republic. A leaf baiting isolation technique and, in two nurseries, also Illumina DNA metabarcoding were used to reveal the diversity ... -
Incipient decay in beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and linden (Tilia cordata Mill.): An interspecific static and dynamic material analysis
(Elsevier Science BV, 2024)With increasing awareness of the ecological value of trees in urban areas, there is a growing need to preserve mature specimens often colonised by wood-decay fungi. Nonetheless, cases of stem collapse or uprooting of such ... -
Elasto-plastic material model of green beech wood
(Springer Japan KK, 2024)Physically modelling the mechanical response of a tree by numerical simulation depends on having accurate data on the mechanical properties of green hardwood. Lacking such data, we developed and validated an orthotropic ... -
How Did COVID-19 Pandemic Stress Affect Poles' Views on the Role of the Forest?
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2024)The 2020-2021 COVID-19 pandemic has had a tremendous impact on the daily lives of everyone, including local communities and entire societies. Under the influence of this new experience, the importance of the services and ... -
Perception of Locals on Multiple Contributions of NTFPs to the Livelihoods of Forest Fringe Communities in Ghana
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2024)Forest-dwelling residents frequently collect non-timber forest products (NTFPs) for various reasons, such as food, medicine, firewood, religious reasons, or handicrafts. This study examines the multiple benefits derived ... -
Natural conditions for heliophilous tree-species following forest dieback in temperate zone after periglacial habitats
(Czech Society for Landscape Ecology, 2024)Widespread forest dieback following a series of exceptionally dry seasons has made restoration by relic heliophilous tree-species uncertain. Using logistic regression, we identified conditions suitable for relic Norway ... -
Overgrazing strongly impedes the natural regeneration of the endemic Boswellia species on Socotra Island
(Česká akademie zemědělských věd, 2024)Frankincense trees (Boswellia spp.) worldwide are affected by a number of threats, including global warming and changing land management practices. On the Socotra Archipelago (Yemen), which harbours eleven endemic Boswellia ... -
Three new Carex nothospecies (Cyperaceae) discovered in the Czech Republic
(Mendelova univerzita v Brně, 2024)The article presents three newly discovered interspecific hybrids of sedges found in the Czech Republic. The finds of two of them (Carex xhelenae and C. xploegii) are the result of authors' field work and subsequent revision ... -
Traces of Local Adaptive Acclimatization Response in the Tracheid Anatomical Traits between Dry and Wet Mesic Norway Spruce (Picea abies) Forests in Moravia, Czech Republic?
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2024)Norway spruce (Picea abies) forests in temperate zones are already reacting to short-term extreme summer heatwaves, threatening the vitality of trees and forest productivity, and can even lead to local and regional dieback ... -
A review of the performance of fibre-reinforced composite laminates with carbon nanotubes
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2023)Impact loads lead to the failure of structures and significantly diminish their operational lifespan. The necessity to enhance impact performance has shown gradual progress, resulting in utilising nano-fillers as an ... -
Diversity and impact of single-stranded RNA viruses in Czech Heterobasidion populations
(American Society for Microbiology, 2024)Heterobasidion annosum sensu lato comprises some of the most devastating pathogens of conifers. Exploring virocontrol as a potential strategy to mitigate economic losses caused by these fungi holds promise for the future. ... -
Synthetic leathers as a possible source of chemicals and odorous substances in indoor environment
(De Gruyter Open Ltd., 2023)This article deals with volatile organic substances (VOCs) and odours that can be released into the indoor environment from synthetic leathers that are part of upholstered furniture. The primary task of this study was to ... -
