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 ...
Surface charring of silver fir wood cladding using an enhanced traditional Japanese Yakisugi method
(North Carolina State University, 2022)
The aim of this work was to better understand the ignition method of timber charring in order to improve the industrial process. Three silver fir boards were tied together to make a triangular prism, which acted as a ...
Environmental Effects among Differently Located and Fertile Sites on Forest Basal-Area Increment in Temperate Zone
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)
Environmental properties differently influence the growth of forest tree species. The antagonistic effects of variable environmental properties classify the forest response according to various tree compositions among ...
Analysis of Field View from Tractor and Trailer Units Using the Method of Terrestrial Laser Scanning
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)
Having a proper view from the cabin of agricultural and forest machines is one of the main factors affecting work safety and efficiency. In forestry, machine operators very often perform working activities also in the rear ...
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 ...
Feeding Behaviour of Eurasian Beavers (Castor fiber) Along Small Streams in an Agricultural Landscape
(Mendelova univerzita v Brně, 2022)
In areas with high population density, the Eurasian beaver may be forced to utilise sparsely forested landscapes where living conditions may not be optimal for the species. Here, we examine the feeding strategy of Eurasian ...
Artificial Weathering of Contact-Charred Wood-The Effect of Modification Duration, Wood Species and Material Density
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)
A relevant issue with charred exteriors is the inconsistency of the result, which makes service life predictions complicated. Contact charring enables the creation of a very evenly modified surface with accurate control ...
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 ...
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 ...
Elasto-plastic material model of oak at two moisture content levels
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2022)
The mechanical properties of wood show a very high dependence on the moisture content (MC). A consideration of MC in numerical simulations increases the applicability of such prediction with respect to application and ...
