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 ...
Urban Forest Recreation and Its Possible Role throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2023)
Urban forests provide benefits in terms of the environment and society. Many people living in urban areas could profit from the recreational services provided by urban forests to alleviate the physical and psychological ...
Appraising the dielectric properties and the effectiveness of electromagnetic shielding of graphene reinforced silicone rubber nanocomposite
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2023)
The aim of this research is to measure the dielectric properties and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE) of silicone rubber reinforced with graphene nanoplates. In a two-roll mill, different ...

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 ...
