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 ... -
Prostorová závislost bazické saturace na zrnitostním a chemickém složení lesních půd v individuálním nebo typologickém členění
(Česká geografická společnost, 2023)Půdní bazická saturace (BS) je fyzikálně-chemickou vlastností využívanou při klasifikaci suchozemských ekosystémů. V této studii jsme se zaměřili na porovnání půdní BS a prostorově souvisejících fyzikálních a chemických ... -
Lectotypification of two names of Carex buekii hybrids (Cyperaceae) and notes on their morphology, ecology and distribution
(Pensoft Publishers, 2023)Lectotypes are designated for two Carex buekii hybrid names. The typification is supplemented with notes on their morphology, ecology, and distribution. -
Partial asynchrony of coniferous forest carbon sources and sinks at the intra-annual time scale
(Nature Publishing Group, 2024)As major terrestrial carbon sinks, forests play an important role in mitigating climate change. The relationship between the seasonal uptake of carbon and its allocation to woody biomass remains poorly understood, leaving ... -
The palaeoclimatic potential of recent oak tree-ring width chronologies from southwest Ukraine
(Elsevier GmbH, Urban und Fischer Verlag GmbH, 2024)Better insights into spatio-temporal climate signals are needed to understand more clearly the applicability to palaeoclimatic analysis and dendrochronological dating of the long tree-ring oak chronologies currently being ... -
Mycorrhizal associations modify tree diversity-productivity relationships across experimental tree plantations
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2024)Decades of studies have demonstrated links between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, yet the generality of the relationships and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, especially for forest ecosystems. Using 11 ... -
Effects of plant diversity on productivity strengthen over time due to trait-dependent shifts in species overyielding
(Nature Publishing Group, 2024)Plant diversity effects on community productivity often increase over time. Whether the strengthening of diversity effects is caused by temporal shifts in species-level overyielding (i.e., higher species-level productivity ... -
Bio-based phase change material for enhanced building energy efficiency: A study of beech and thermally modified beech wood for wall structures
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2024)This study investigated the impregnation of beech and thermally modified beech (TMB) with a ternary mixture of capric acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid as a bio-based phase change material (BPCM). Finite element method ... -
Semantic segmentation of plant roots from RGB (mini-) rhizotron images-generalisation potential and false positives of established methods and advanced deep-learning models
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2023)Background Manual analysis of (mini-)rhizotron (MR) images is tedious. Several methods have been proposed for semantic root segmentation based on homogeneous, single-source MR datasets. Recent advances in deep learning ... -
