(Taylor & Francis Inc., 2025)The study estimates the residual property of [Jute/Kevlar/Jute] and [Kevlar/Jute/Kevlar] hybrid composite laminates with multiple drilled holes. The laminates are prepared using a compression molding technique with Kevlar ... -
Landscape-Scale Long-Term Drought Prevalence Mapping for Small Municipalities Adaptation, the Czech Republic Case Study
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2023)Drought is a phenomenon that is strengthening with the progress of climate change. Many fields of human activities such as agriculture, forestry, ecology, economy, water supply, or energy production are affected. Municipalities ... -
Effect of the percentage of MUF adhesive coverage on shear strength when bonding different wood species
(North Carolina State University, 2024)Due to climate changes, it is necessary to consider the use of other wood species to replace currently used woods. This work deals with the determination of the shear strength of bonded veneers (eight European wood species: ... -
Applying the European Union (EU) assessment initiative of forest sustainability in Africa: A case study of the timber harvesting impact on the environment in Sierra Leone
(Česká akademie zemědělských věd, 2024)The European Union (EU) provides both financial and expert support for sustainable forest management initiatives and also boosts compliance with such initiatives in Africa. Thus, there is a need to monitor the progress of ... -
Early overyielding in a mixed deciduous forest is driven by both above- and below-ground species-specific acclimatization
(Oxford University Press, 2024)Background and Aims Mixed forest plantations are increasingly recognized for their role in mitigating the impacts of climate change and enhancing ecosystem resilience. Yet, there remains a significant gap in understanding ... -
Two new species of Hemidactylus Goldfuss, 1820 (Squamata: Gekkonidae) from the coastal areas of northern Somaliland
(Taylor & Francis Ltd., 2024)The taxonomy of many Hemidactylus geckos from the Horn of Africa has recently been evaluated. However, the lack of fresh material for some species and also regions has led to the misidentification of some taxa and an ... -
Plastic deformation assessment of sawdust-rPET composites under bending load
(Elsevier Science BV, 2024)Due to the scarcity of raw wood materials and the current state of the market's economic growth, the development of novel composite materials utilizing alternate raw material sources is crucial. Sawdust and waste polymers, ... -
Heart Rate Index as a Measure of Physical Workload in Chainsaw Operations
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2024)Timber harvesting operations, including manual and motor-manual activities, require workers who are in good health to be able to work effectively. The aim of our paper was to introduce a simplified index methodology for ... -
The influence of false heartwood of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) on tensile shear strength of lap joints
(North Carolina State University, 2024)The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of false heartwood of beech wood on the shear strength of glued joints for thermoplastic and reactoplastic adhesives for plywood production. The tensile shear strength ... -
Dothistroma septosporum and Dothistroma pini, the causal agents of Dothistroma needle blight, are infected by multiple viruses
(Elsevier Science BV, 2024)Dothistroma septosporum and Dothistroma pini are severe foliar pathogens of conifers. They infect a broad spectrum of hosts (mainly Pinus spp.), causing chlorosis, defoliation of needles, and eventually the death of pine ... -
Trait diversity and spider community composition are associated with lower herbivory in young forest plantations
(Elsevier Science Inc., 2025)Spiders constitute a numerically dominant group of generalist predators in forest ecosystems, but their biocontrol function in forest plantations is not well understood. The biocontrol potential of spiders may depend upon ... -
Evaluation of the effect of different thinning types on dendrometric parameters and subsequent spontaneous growth in a beech-oak-linden stand
(Česká akademie zemědělských věd, 2024)Due to an increasing risk of further damage to forests, forest managers are considering introducing an alternative direction for their future development - via the cultivation of mixed forests. At middle altitudes in the ... -
Landscape and local factors drive pesticide distribution in perennial agroecosystems
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2024)Pesticides constitute a major threat to biodiversity, but our understanding of the complex interactions between local and landscape factors influencing their distribution in agroecosystems remains limited. We conducted a ... -
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 ...
