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 ... -
Mycorrhizal associations modify tree diversity-productivity relationships across experimental tree plantations
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2024)Decades of studies have demonstrated links between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, yet the generality of the relationships and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, especially for forest ecosystems. Using 11 ... -
Natural conditions for heliophilous tree-species following forest dieback in temperate zone after periglacial habitats
(Czech Society for Landscape Ecology, 2024)Widespread forest dieback following a series of exceptionally dry seasons has made restoration by relic heliophilous tree-species uncertain. Using logistic regression, we identified conditions suitable for relic Norway ... -
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
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)This paper deals with the design and operational evaluation of a timber tractor-trailer unit with a hybrid trailer drive. The source of electrical energy for the two induction motors driving the front wheels of the tandem ... -
Overgrazing strongly impedes the natural regeneration of the endemic Boswellia species on Socotra Island
(Česká akademie zemědělských věd, 2024)Frankincense trees (Boswellia spp.) worldwide are affected by a number of threats, including global warming and changing land management practices. On the Socotra Archipelago (Yemen), which harbours eleven endemic Boswellia ... -
Overwinter Storage of European Beech and Norway Spruce Planting Stock: Effect of Different Methods and Temperature Conditions
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2021)The aim of this research was to compare methods of overwinter storage of forest tree species planting stock and to specify of the optimal and the minimal temperature for freezing. Planting stock of European beech and Norway ... -
The palaeoclimatic potential of recent oak tree-ring width chronologies from southwest Ukraine
(Elsevier GmbH, Urban und Fischer Verlag GmbH, 2024)Better insights into spatio-temporal climate signals are needed to understand more clearly the applicability to palaeoclimatic analysis and dendrochronological dating of the long tree-ring oak chronologies currently being ... -
Partial asynchrony of coniferous forest carbon sources and sinks at the intra-annual time scale
(Nature Publishing Group, 2024)As major terrestrial carbon sinks, forests play an important role in mitigating climate change. The relationship between the seasonal uptake of carbon and its allocation to woody biomass remains poorly understood, leaving ... -
Patterns of Ips cembrae (Herr) infestation on trap and standing trees of European larch (Larix decidua Mill.)
(Northeast Forestry University, 2023)The large larch beetle, Ips cembrae, is a significant pest causing the death of larch. In 2020, the attack density of I. cembrae on larch trap trees and standing trees was evaluated using sample sections placed along the ... -
Perception of Locals on Multiple Contributions of NTFPs to the Livelihoods of Forest Fringe Communities in Ghana
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2024)Forest-dwelling residents frequently collect non-timber forest products (NTFPs) for various reasons, such as food, medicine, firewood, religious reasons, or handicrafts. This study examines the multiple benefits derived ... -
Phylogeography, origin and population structure of the self-fertile emerging plant pathogen Phytophthora pseudosyringae
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2024)Phytophthora pseudosyringae is a self-fertile pathogen of woody plants, particularly associated with tree species from the genera Fagus, Notholithocarpus, Nothofagus and Quercus, which is found across Europe and in parts ... -
Physical Properties of Silver Fir (Abies alba L.) Wood Cladding Modified by Traditional Japanese Charring Method
(North Carolina State University, 2023)Silver fir (Abies alba L.) wood samples were charred on one surface using an enhanced version of the traditional Japanese Yakisugi method. The 15 charred boards obtained from five charring chimneys were divided into three ... -
Physical-Mechanical Properties of Peat Moss (Sphagnum) Insulation Panels with Bio-Based Adhesives
