Forest as a source of renewable material to reduce the environmental impact of buildings
(Česká akademie zemědělských věd, 2023)
Construction sector has high environmental impact throughout entire life cycle of buildings. One way to reduce the impact is to use building materials with the lowest possible environmental impact - such as wood. The use ...
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, ...
The Protection of Ash Trees Against Ash Dieback by Tree Injections
(Elsevier GmbH, 2023)
Ash dieback caused by a non-native pathogenic fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus has been decimating populations of European Fraxinus species for over 30 years. Nevertheless, there is still a considerable amount of valuable ...
Phytophthora, Nothophytophthora and Halophytophthora diversity in rivers, streams and riparian alder ecosystems of Central Europe
(Springer Heidelberg, 2023)
Waterways are ideal pathways for Phytophthora dispersal and potential introduction to terrestrial ecosystems. While many Phytophthora species from phylogenetic clades 6, 9 and 10 are predominant oomycetes in watercourses ...
Fomes fomentarius and F. inzengae-A Comparison of Their Decay Patterns on Beech Wood
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2023)
Wood-decaying fungi are responsible for the degradation of wood and the alteration in its material properties. Fomes fomentarius (L.) Fr. is one of the most common white-rot fungi colonising coarse wood and standing trees. ...
Development of Douglas fir merchantable stem volume model in the conditions of the Czech Republic
(Česká akademie zemědělských věd, 2023)
A precise merchantable stem volume model of Douglas fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] is missing in the Czech Republic. The aim of this study was to fit a new model through the reparametrization of volume equations ...
Properties of lightweight particleboard made with sunflower stalk particles in the core layer
(Elsevier Science BV, 2023)
In this study we assessed the efficacy of manufacturing lightweight particleboards using sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) stalk particles. Three-layer lightweight particleboards with target densities of 350, 450 and 550 ...
Effect of different stand densities on xylem and phloem formation in Norway spruce plantations
(Brill, 2023)
Preliminary results of an investigation of the thinning effect on Norway spruce tree growth in terms of xylogenesis and phloemogenesis are presented. Three plots were selected where the stand densities were reduced by ...
Comparison of Methods for Estimating Damage by Wild Ungulates on Field Crops
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2023)
High numbers of large ungulates are locally accompanied by high levels of damage to field crops, causing economic losses and increased costs for the protection of agricultural fields. Quantifying the levels of damage can ...
Artificial Weathering Resistance and Biological Durability of Surface-Charred Beech Wood Combined with Linseed Oil Coating
(North Carolina State University, 2023)
Specimens of European beech wood (Fagus sylvatica L.) charred at 250 oC (4 min), 300 oC (2 min), and 350 oC (1 min) in combination with linseed oil coating were studied. The influence of the surface charring process and ...
