Changes in Soil Aggregate Stability Induced by Mineral Nitrogen Fertilizer Application
(Mendelova univerzita v Brně, 2017)The stability of soil aggregates is one of the most important characteristics of the soil affecting the overall soil quality and its health. In locality Březová nad Svitavou, experiment to reveal the effect of nitrogen ... -
Diversity and impact of single-stranded RNA viruses in Czech Heterobasidion populations
(American Society for Microbiology, 2024)Heterobasidion annosum sensu lato comprises some of the most devastating pathogens of conifers. Exploring virocontrol as a potential strategy to mitigate economic losses caused by these fungi holds promise for the future. ... -
Dothistroma septosporum and Dothistroma pini, the causal agents of Dothistroma needle blight, are infected by multiple viruses
(Elsevier Science BV, 2024)Dothistroma septosporum and Dothistroma pini are severe foliar pathogens of conifers. They infect a broad spectrum of hosts (mainly Pinus spp.), causing chlorosis, defoliation of needles, and eventually the death of pine ... -
Epigeic spiders from lowland oak woodlands in the south Moravia region (Czech Republic)
(Mendelova univerzita v Brně, 2017)This paper presents spider faunistics from abandoned coppice oak forest stands located along the South Moravia region. Spiders were collected from May to July 2012 by pitfall trapping at eight different localities. We ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Population dynamics of the common shrew (Sorex araneus) in Central European forest clearings
(Springer New York, 2023)The population dynamics of shrews (Soricidae) are not well known even though they form an important part of forest ecosystems and represent suitable bioindicators of ecosystem quality. The aim of this study was to evaluate ... -
The Relationship between some Forest Stand Properties and the Occurrence of Orchids in the Central Part of the Moravian Karst Protected Landscape Area
(Mendelova univerzita v Brně, 2017)The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between some forest stand properties and the occurrence of orchids in the territory of the Křtiny Training Forest Enterprise. The research took place between the ... -
Reproductive characteristics of wild boar males (Sus scrofa) under different environmental conditions
(Veterinární a farmaceutická univerzita Brno, 2019)The wild boar population has been on a permanent increase over the last decades, causing conflicts with the requirements of modern human society. Existing effort to stabilize wild boar numbers generally fails with one of ... -
Spatial distribution of saproxylic beetles on trunks of standing Scots pine trees
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2023)The spatial distribution of saproxylic beetles landing and climbing stems of 12 grown and healthy Scots pine trees (Pinus sylvestris L.) was examined in detail during a 3-year trial. The beetles were sampled using sticky ... -
Study on the (bio)degradation process of bioplastic materials under industrial composting conditions
(Mendelova univerzita v Brně, 2017)The objective of this study was to determine the biodegradability of bioplastic materials-sponge cloths-available on the European market. They are labeled as 100 % biodegradable but not certified as compostable. The test ... -
Suitability of Using Mechanization Means for the Maintenance of Grass Stands by the Method of Mulching
(Mendelova univerzita v Brně, 2022)This study aims to provide comprehensive and practical information on particular mechanization means used in the maintenance of permanent grass stands, namely grass cutting technologies without the collection of cut grass ... -
Trait diversity and spider community composition are associated with lower herbivory in young forest plantations
(Elsevier Science Inc., 2025)Spiders constitute a numerically dominant group of generalist predators in forest ecosystems, but their biocontrol function in forest plantations is not well understood. The biocontrol potential of spiders may depend upon ...
