(Mendelova univerzita v Brně, 2019)The research study deals with the occurrence, cecidogenesis and development of the bisexual generation of Biorhiza pallida in the Brno region. Galls were found most frequently on Quercus petraea and on Q. robur. At the end ... -
COVID-19 vaccine equity for the Global South: Vaccination challenges and opportunities for small and poor countries
(European Scientific Institute (ESI), 2023)The effects of COVID-19 have significantly interrupted countries and the social order across the globe. However, the developing countries which could not manufacture or even buy the most wanted commodity: COVID-19 Vaccine, ... -
Cultural ecosystem services of geodiversity: A case study from Stranska skala (Brno, Czech Republic)
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)The concept of ecosystem services developed in the second half of the 20th century, and the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment was crucial for its acceptance. This assessment identified the services that ecosystems provide ... -
Cut-to-Length Harvesting Options for the Integrated Harvesting of the European Industrial Poplar Plantations
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)Plantation forestry has a long history in Europe and still supports local industry, generating employment, improving environmental quality, and mitigating climate change. As part of these plantations, medium-rotation poplars ... -
Description of Intra-Annual Changes in Cambial Activity and Differentiation of Secondary Conductive Tissues of Aesculus hippocastanum Trees Affected by the Leaf Miner Cameraria ohridella
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2021)Aesculus hippocastanum trees are commonly infested by the leaf miner Cameraria ohridella, whose larval activity causes the destruction of the leaf parenchyma and induces defoliation. Pest attacks result in, e.g., production ... -
Development of sessile oak and European hornbeam sprouts after thinning
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2017)We observed the growth of juvenile sprouts at stool level in an oak-hornbeam selective coppice after selective thinning. We tested the relations of sprouting probability, number and height of new sprouts, and stool biometric ... -
