Integrated Harvesting of Medium Rotation Hybrid Poplar Plantations: Systems Compared
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)In this study, the authors provide a direct comparison made between whole tree-harvesting (WTH) and cut-to length (CTL) methods, which was conducted in two sites in the Slovak Republic and applied to poplar plantations. ... -
Integrated Proteomic and Metabolomic Profiling of Phytophthora cinnamomi Attack on Sweet Chestnut (Castanea sativa) Reveals Distinct Molecular Reprogramming Proximal to the Infection Site and Away from It
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)Phytophthora cinnamomi is one of the most invasive tree pathogens that devastates wild and cultivated forests. Due to its wide host range, knowledge of the infection process at the molecular level is lacking for most of ... -
Intervention analysis of COVID-19 pandemic impact on timber price in selected markets
(Elsevier Science BV, 2024)Using intervention analysis and time series of roundwood prices from ten European and North American countries, we analyzed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the movement of timber prices. The study material consists ... -
Invasive bark beetle Dryocoetes himalayensis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) – A threat for walnut trees (Juglans spp.) in Europe?
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2023)As walnut trees (Juglans spp.) are of high economic importance, considerable attention has been given to invasive pests of these trees in Europe. In 2016, Dryocoetes himalayensis Strohmeyer, 1908, an alien bark beetle ... -
Is the quality of the non-native Douglas-fir wood produced in the Czech forests comparable to native softwoods?
(North Carolina State University, 2019)Important physical and mechanical properties were evaluated for Douglas-fir wood produced in a non-native environment. The specimens were obtained from 15 healthy co-dominant trees growing in three different sites located ... -
Kolmogorovʼ entropy to investigate variation of forest soil properties in the Czech Republic
(Elsevier Science BV, 2022)A measure of variation in values of physico-chemical properties of different soil groups is influenced by deterministic uncertainty. In this study, we assessed variation level of soil horizon properties in the most wide-spread ... -
Local Management System of Dragon's Blood Tree (Dracaena cinnabari Balf. f.) Resin in Firmihin Forest, Socotra Island, Yemen
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)Various nontimber forest products (NTFPs) are produced from the forests and woodlands of Yemen. Dragon's blood tree resin is one of the commercial NTFPs in Yemen and is produced by tapping Dracaena cinnabari trees, which ... -
Management Intensity and Forest Successional Stages as Significant Determinants of Small Mammal Communities in a Lowland Floodplain Forest
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)The conversion of forests from complex natural ecosystems to simplified commercial woodlands is one of the major causes of biodiversity loss. To maintain biodiversity, we need to understand how current management practices ... -
Metrics of Growth Habit Derived from the 3D Tree Point Cloud Used for Species Determination-A New Approach in Botanical Taxonomy Tested on Dragon Tree Group Example
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)Detailed, three-dimensional modeling of trees is a new approach in botanical taxonomy. Representations of individual trees are a prerequisite for accurate assessments of tree growth and morphological metronomy. This study ... -
Monitoring Bark Beetle Forest Damage in Central Europe. A Remote Sensing Approach Validated with Field Data
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)Over the last decades, climate change has triggered an increase in the frequency of sprucebark beetle (Ips typographusL.) in Central Europe. More than 50% of forests in the Czech Republic areseriously threatened by this ... -
Mortality reduces overyielding in mixed Scots pine and European beech stands along a precipitation gradient in Europe
(Elsevier Science BV, 2023)Many studies show that mixed species stands can have higher gross growth, or so-called overyielding, compared with monocultures. However, much less is known about mortality in mixed stands. Knowledge is lacking, for example, ... -
Multi-seasonal systematic camera-trapping reveals fluctuating densities and high turnover rates of Carpathian lynx on the western edge of its native range
(Nature Publishing Group, 2021)Camera-trapping and capture-recapture models are the most widely used tools for estimating densities of wild felids that have unique coat patterns, such as Eurasian lynx. However, studies dealing with this species are ... -
Non-Indigenous Cladocera (Crustacea: Branchiopoda): From a Few Notorious Cases to a Potential Global Faunal Mixing in Aquatic Ecosystems
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)Non-indigenous species may pose a threat to native ecosystems worldwide. In aquatic environments, invasives may have a negative impact on human food security and livelihoods. Several water fleas (Crustacea: Branchiopoda: ... -
Operating Characteristics of a Timber Trailer with a Hybrid Drive
