Stemflow infiltration hotspots near-tree stems along a soil depth gradient in a mixed oak–beech forest
(Springer New York, 2023)In an upland forested micro-catchment during the growing season, we tested soil responses to precipitation events as well as soil water content (SWC). We asked ourselves if what is the difference of SWC response to ... -
Female melon fruit flies, Zeugodacus cucurbitae, are attracted to a synthetic chemical blend based on male epicuticular components
(Springer Heidelberg, 2024)The melon fly, Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is considered to be the most destructive pest of melons and other related cucurbit crops worldwide. Despite the potential of behaviour-based control ... -
Germination responses with different treatments, seed vigour and seedling growth of Pterolobium stellatum (Forssk.) provenances stored from 19 to 30 years
(Springer Netherlands, 2024)Knowledge of the genetic variability of different species for conservation purposes and quality seedling production after longer storage time is important. The aim of the research paper was to examine the effect of longer ... -
Effects of species and moisture content on the behaviour of solid wood under impact
(Springer New York, 2024)The article's main aim is to assess the effects of species and moisture content (MC) on the behaviour of solid wood material under the low velocity of impact and present a pattern for predicting loading vs time curves for ... -
The Ecological Potential of Poplars (Populus L.) for City Tree Planting and Management: A Preliminary Study of Central Poland (Warsaw) and Silesia (Chorzów)
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2024)Urban environments face escalating challenges due to uncontrolled urbanization, rapid population growth, and climate changes, prompting the exploration of sustainable solutions for enhancing urban green spaces (UGSs). For ... -
Long-term shift towards shady and nutrient-rich habitats in Central European temperate forests
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2024)Biodiversity world-wide has been under increasing anthropogenic pressure in the past century. The long-term response of biotic communities has been tackled primarily by focusing on species richness, community composition ... -
The response of forested upland micro-watersheds to extreme precipitation in a precipitation abundant year
(Springer Wien, 2024)We performed a comparative paired catchment study of three headwater upland forest micro-catchments with different forest types in the precipitation-abundant year 2020. The analysis was based on baseflow separation and ... -
The generalized Kelvin chain-based model for an orthotropic viscoelastic material
(Springer Netherlands, 2024)We propose a constitutive material model to describe the rheological (viscoelastic) mechanical response of timber. The viscoelastic model is based on the generalized Kelvin chain applied to the orthotropic material and is ... -
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 ...
