(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)Research highlights: This study is focused on the germination of Dracaena cinnabari seeds in order to discover the possibility of natural and artificial regeneration of this species. Background and Objectives: This study ... -
Growth Response of Sessile Oak and European Hornbeam to Traditional Coppice-with-Standards Management
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2019)Research Highlights: The influence of litter raking and livestock grazing on the development of juvenile sessile oak and European hornbeam sprouts as well as on sessile oak standards were studied. Such experiments are very ... -
Identifying Suitable Restoration and Conservation Areas for Dracaena cinnabari Balf.f. in Socotra, Yemen
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)We examine the distribution of Dracaena cinnabari, the Socotran Dragon's Blood Tree, an endangered species endemic to the island of Socotra (Yemen)-and we propose an accessibility approach to its conservation, taking the ... -
Impact of Different Pruning Practices on Height Growth of Paulownia Clon in Vitro 112(R)
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)We focused on the ability of one-year-old and two-year-old plants of Paulownia Clon in vitro 112(R) to sprout and grow branches, and on their pruning for their best possible growth on a plantation in Střelice u Brna. ... -
The Influence of Forestry Management on the Selection of a Non-Vegetative Diet by the Eurasian Beaver (Castor fiber L.)
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)Native ecosystems have been transformed by humans into cultural landscapes, resulting in the disruption of natural interactions, with some species unable to adapt and disappearing from such landscapes. Other species were ... -
Influence of moisture content for bonding quality of european beech and english oak
(Mendelova univerzita v Brně, 2020)This study focused on the comparison of the bonding quality of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and English oak (Quercus robur L.), due to variability of moisture content (MC) in the wood. Hardwood species as a material, ... -
Initial Fertilization Impact on Norway Spruce Nutrition and Growth in the Krušné Hory Mts
(Mendelova univerzita v Brně, 2017)The aim of this study consisted in verifying the hypothesis whether the application of tableted fertilizers Silvamix(R) Forte, Silvamix(R) R, Stromfolixyl(R) and calcareous dolomite affected significantly the nutrition and ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
