Artificial habitat - a chance for survival of a rare montane dragonfly (Odonata): case study on an alpine emerald (Somatochlora alpestris)
(Springer Netherlands, 2023)The mountain ecosystems of Central Europe are an important natural phenomenon. The character of small isolated islands also predetermines their vulnerability. Typical inhabitant of subalpine and alpine peat bogs, tiny ... -
Artificial Weathering of Contact-Charred Wood-The Effect of Modification Duration, Wood Species and Material Density
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)A relevant issue with charred exteriors is the inconsistency of the result, which makes service life predictions complicated. Contact charring enables the creation of a very evenly modified surface with accurate control ... -
Artificial Weathering Resistance and Biological Durability of Surface-Charred Beech Wood Combined with Linseed Oil Coating
(North Carolina State University, 2023)Specimens of European beech wood (Fagus sylvatica L.) charred at 250 oC (4 min), 300 oC (2 min), and 350 oC (1 min) in combination with linseed oil coating were studied. The influence of the surface charring process and ... -

(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2019)In the last decades, the geotourism has shown a considerable growth all over the world and it is appreciated and accepted as a useful tool for promoting natural and cultural heritage and for fostering local and regional ... -
Assessing the Influence of Social Factors on Local Perceptions of Climate Change, Product Value Addition, Multiple Uses of NTFPs, and Their Influence on Poverty Alleviation in Ghana
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2024)The key to the successful and sustainable utilisation of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) by local communities lies in understanding their perspectives on climate change and its effects on NTFP production. Furthermore, ... -
Auxin (IAA) and soluble carbohydrate seasonal dynamics monitored during xylogenesis and phloemogenesis in Scots pine
(Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology, 2018)The metabolic activity of phytohormones and the accumulation of carbohydrates affect the reactivation of the cambial zone and the radial increment of woody plants. We aimed to monitor the dynamics of indole-3-acetic acid ... -
Cascade use of wood in the Czech Republic
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)Research Highlights: One of the priorities of the European Commission is to build up an effective circular economy based on recycling and multiple use of materials. Wood biomass is a renewable raw material and can be used ... -
Changes in Soil Aggregate Stability Induced by Mineral Nitrogen Fertilizer Application
(Mendelova univerzita v Brně, 2017)The stability of soil aggregates is one of the most important characteristics of the soil affecting the overall soil quality and its health. In locality Březová nad Svitavou, experiment to reveal the effect of nitrogen ... -
Characterization of Curing and Bonding of Wood with Adhesive Mixtures of Liquefied Wood and Hexamethylenediamine
(Tech Science Press, 2023)Various crosslinking agents can be added to the formulations of natural-based adhesives for wood bonding in order to achieve better durability and higher strength of the formed joints. In the present study, the effect of ... -
Characterization of randomly oriented strand boards manufactured from juvenile wood of underutilized wood species
(Springer New York, 2024)The wood-based panel industry in Europe, which is dominated by the use of Norway spruce, will face new challenges due to environmental changes and the bark-beetle calamity, which started a new era of forestry. To explore ... -
Combined Fertilizers Versus Dolomitic Limestone: A Comparative Study from a Forest Habitat with Norway Spruce
(Národne lesnícke centrum - Lesnícky výskumný ústav Zvolen, 2020)The research paper with character of case study deals with the influence of amelioration on soil as well as the Norway spruce nutrition and growth, with the focus on dolomitic limestone and combined fertilizer applications. ... -
Comparative investigation of chemical and structural properties of charred fir wood samples by Raman and FTIR spectroscopy as well as X-ray-micro-CT technology
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2023)Wood surface charring is a treatment method commonly employed to enhance weather protection and aesthetic appearance of building exteriors. This study aims to investigate the differences between two wood surface charring ... -
Comparative Time Study of Conventional Cut-To-Length and an Integrated Harvesting Method-A Case Study
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2018)Logging residues offer a significant contribution to the economical profitability and sustainability of forest-based resources. It is always desirable to optimise the harvesting and extraction method to improve the economy ... -
Comparison of Different Remote Sensing Methods for 3D Modeling of Small Rock Outcrops
