(Česká akademie zemědělských věd, 2024)This paper deals with the verification of models for the calculation of the contact area with the soil using data measured during the testing of a tractor-and-trailer unit. The main emphasis was put on the method of ... -
Response of Alnus glutinosa to Phytophthora bark infections at ambient and elevated CO2 levels
(Frontiers Media SA, 2024)Introduction: Mortality of the riparian alder population caused by Phytophthora pathogens has been studied for over 20 years throughout Europe, recently gaining more importance in the context of evident climate change. The ... -
Characterization of randomly oriented strand boards manufactured from juvenile wood of underutilized wood species
(Springer New York, 2024)The wood-based panel industry in Europe, which is dominated by the use of Norway spruce, will face new challenges due to environmental changes and the bark-beetle calamity, which started a new era of forestry. To explore ... -
Enhancing the fire resistance properties of thermally modified Robinia pseudoacacia wood with natural and synthetic flame retardants: chemical characterisation and fire behaviour
(Springer New York, 2024)The increasing demand for wood with enhanced flame retardant characteristics in construction applications necessitates strategic interventions. This study explores the fire behaviour and chemical characterisation of Robinia ... -
Phylogeography, origin and population structure of the self-fertile emerging plant pathogen Phytophthora pseudosyringae
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2024)Phytophthora pseudosyringae is a self-fertile pathogen of woody plants, particularly associated with tree species from the genera Fagus, Notholithocarpus, Nothofagus and Quercus, which is found across Europe and in parts ... -
Assessing the Influence of Social Factors on Local Perceptions of Climate Change, Product Value Addition, Multiple Uses of NTFPs, and Their Influence on Poverty Alleviation in Ghana
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2024)The key to the successful and sustainable utilisation of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) by local communities lies in understanding their perspectives on climate change and its effects on NTFP production. Furthermore, ... -
Eurasian aspen (Populus tremula L.): Central Europe's keystone species 'hiding in plain sight'
(Public Library of Science, 2024)Knowledge of Eurasian aspen's (Populus tremula L.) ecological and growth characteristics is of high importance to plant and wildlife community ecology, and noncommercial forest ecosystem services. This research assessed ... -
Integrated Harvesting of Medium Rotation Hybrid Poplar Plantations: Systems Compared
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)In this study, the authors provide a direct comparison made between whole tree-harvesting (WTH) and cut-to length (CTL) methods, which was conducted in two sites in the Slovak Republic and applied to poplar plantations. ... -
First species record of Strigea falconis Szidat, 1928 (Trematoda, Strigeidae) from gyrfalcon Falco rusticolus in Iceland-pros and cons of a complex life cycle
(Springer Heidelberg, 2024)Strigea falconis is a common parasite of birds of prey and owls widely distributed in the Holarctic. We aimed to characterise S. falconis from Iceland via integrative taxonomic approach and to contribute to the understanding ... -
Distribution of pesticides in agroecosystem food webs differ among trophic groups and between annual and perennial crops
(Springer France, 2024)Pesticides threaten biodiversity, but we know little about how they permeate food webs. Few studies have investigated the number, concentration, and composition of pesticides in agroecosystem food webs even though ... -
A constitutive model considering creep damage of wood
(Springer Netherlands, 2024)The serviceability of wooden structures involves multiphysical phenomena, notably the interactions among creep, plasticity, and damage. The influence of creep on the initialization of the damage and on its growth and spread ... -
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 ... -
The role of geometry precision in frequency-resonance method for non-destructive wood assessment - numerical case study on sugar maple
(CRC Press/Taylor and Francis Group, 2023)The application of frequency-resonance method (FRM) for precise log bending testing is limited by complex geometry; usually the cone with variable cross. This case study presents the relationship among non-destructively ... -
