Ecological, morphological and phylogenetic survey of Fomes fomentarius and F. inzengae (Agaricomycetes, Polyporaceae) co-occurring in the same geographic area in Central Europe
(Springer Heidelberg, 2023)The phenomenon of cryptic species is widespread among various fungal lineages. Fomes inzengae (Ces. & De Not.) Cooke has been recently recognized as a South European kin of wood-decay basidiomycete F. fomentarius (L.) Fr. ... -
Effect of Different Presowing Treatments to Break Seed Dormancy and Seed Collection Methods on the Germination of Dracaena steudneri Schweinf. Ex Engl.
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)Research Highlights: This study is focused on the germination of Dracaena steudneri Schweinf. Ex Engl. seeds using different presowing treatments. Background and Objectives: The study aimed to overcome the problem of ... -
Effect of different stand densities on xylem and phloem formation in Norway spruce plantations
(Brill, 2023)Preliminary results of an investigation of the thinning effect on Norway spruce tree growth in terms of xylogenesis and phloemogenesis are presented. Three plots were selected where the stand densities were reduced by ... -
Effect of One-Sided Surface Charring of Beech Wood on Density Profile and Surface Wettability
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2021)One-sided surface charred European beech wood (Fagus sylvatica L.) was studied. Radial and tangential specimens of dimensions of 50 x 25 x 350 mm were one-sided surface charred at 200, 250, 300, 350, and 400 degrees C for ... -
The Effect of Selected Factors on the Strength of Stitches of Upholstery Faux Leather
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)With their properties, upholstery covering materials significantly influence the quality of upholstered products. These materials form the surface layer of upholstered furniture; any damage to this material is immediately ... -
The effect of slow-release fertilizers on the soil environment of spread windrows in the Krušné Hory Mts.
(Česká akademie zemědělských věd, 2017)The current revitalization of forest ecosystems in the Krušne Hory Mts. is carried out through: (i) spreading line windrows, (ii) chemical amelioration. The aim of this research consisted in: (i) assessing basic pedochemical ... -
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: ... -
Effect of thinning and reduced throughfall in young coppice dominated by Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl. and Carpinus betulus L
(Österreichischer Agrarverlag GmbH, 2018)The effects of thinning and reduced throughfall on soil moisture and the diameter and height increments of sessile oak and European hornbeam sprouts were studied in the southeastern part of the Czech Republic. Thinning was ... -
Effects of a Trench as a Moisture Harvesting Structure on the Biomass Production and Growth of Trees Planted to Restore Degraded Land, Southern Ethiopia
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)Knowledge about the biomass productivity of trees planted in a rainwater harvesting structure, i.e., a trench (T), relative to a normal pit (P) on degraded land is scarce. The objective of this research paper is to compare ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Effects of Wood Particles from Deadwood on the Properties and Formaldehyde Emission of Particleboards
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)The volume of deadwood increases annually because of changes in environmental, climatic, and hydrological conditions. On the other hand, during the last decade, manufacturers of wood-based boards have been facing an acute ... -
Efficiency of Harvester with the Debarking Head at Logging in Spruce Stands Affected by Bark Beetle Outbreak
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2021)This paper deals with the use of debarking modifications of the conventional harvester head in the conditions of felling due to bark beetle calamity. For this purpose, a time study was established, in which the conventional ... -
Efficiency of pitfall traps and snap traps in small terrestrial mammals depends on their diet composition
(Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK), 2019)We compared the monitoring of small terrestrial mammals among forest stands by pitfalls and snap traps. The captures took place in the Czech Republic in the Moravskoslezske Beskydy Mts. (2007-2012) on 16 plots in adult ... -
Elasto-plastic material model of green beech wood
