Soil Microbial Functional Diversity under the Single-Season Influence of Traditional Forest Management in a Sessile Oak Forest of Central Europe
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2021)This one-year study focuses on the responses of a soil environment to the implementation of traditional forest management practices in oak-hornbeam stands with the following treatments: cut (C), cut + litter raking (CR), ... -
Description of Intra-Annual Changes in Cambial Activity and Differentiation of Secondary Conductive Tissues of Aesculus hippocastanum Trees Affected by the Leaf Miner Cameraria ohridella
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2021)Aesculus hippocastanum trees are commonly infested by the leaf miner Cameraria ohridella, whose larval activity causes the destruction of the leaf parenchyma and induces defoliation. Pest attacks result in, e.g., production ... -
Comparison of parametric and nonparametric methods for modeling height-diameter relationships
(Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology, 2017)This paper focuses on the problem of regionalization of the height-diameter model at the stand level. To this purpose, we selected two different modeling techniques. As a parametric method, we chose a linear mixed effects ... -
Predicted occurrence of ancient coppice woodlands in the Czech Republic
(Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology, 2017)Coppicing started in the Neolithic period and has been practiced throughout European history. This traditional silvicultural system was abandoned in many European countries during the 20th century. The Czech Republic now ... -
Willingness to Pay for Forest Existence Value and Sustainability
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)Uganda is richly endowed with flora and fauna. Until the early 2000s, most of the types of vegetation have remained natural/virgin forests and shrubs until recent years, when human activities have damaged them. Understanding ... -
Diversity of Tree Species in Gap Regeneration under Tropical Moist Semi-Deciduous Forest: An Example from Bia Tano Forest Reserve
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)In a quest to improve the diversity and conservation of native tree species in tropical African forests, gap regeneration remains all-important nature-promoting silviculture practice and ecosystem-based strategy for attaining ... -
Germination of Dracaena cinnabari Balf. f. Seeds under Controlled Temperature Conditions
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)Research highlights: This study is focused on the germination of Dracaena cinnabari seeds in order to discover the possibility of natural and artificial regeneration of this species. Background and Objectives: This study ... -
Cascade use of wood in the Czech Republic
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)Research Highlights: One of the priorities of the European Commission is to build up an effective circular economy based on recycling and multiple use of materials. Wood biomass is a renewable raw material and can be used ... -
Local Management System of Dragon's Blood Tree (Dracaena cinnabari Balf. f.) Resin in Firmihin Forest, Socotra Island, Yemen
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)Various nontimber forest products (NTFPs) are produced from the forests and woodlands of Yemen. Dragon's blood tree resin is one of the commercial NTFPs in Yemen and is produced by tapping Dracaena cinnabari trees, which ... -
Effects of a Trench as a Moisture Harvesting Structure on the Biomass Production and Growth of Trees Planted to Restore Degraded Land, Southern Ethiopia
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)Knowledge about the biomass productivity of trees planted in a rainwater harvesting structure, i.e., a trench (T), relative to a normal pit (P) on degraded land is scarce. The objective of this research paper is to compare ... -
Comparison of Economic Efficiency of Management Systems with Prevailing Representation of Sessile Oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) in the Territory of Křivoklátsko Forest Park (Czech Republic)
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)The objective of the article was to model the economic efficiency of coppice and compare it with that of an oak high forest (primarily for the territory of Křivoklátsko Forest Park). The model calculations were based on ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Metrics of Growth Habit Derived from the 3D Tree Point Cloud Used for Species Determination-A New Approach in Botanical Taxonomy Tested on Dragon Tree Group Example
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)Detailed, three-dimensional modeling of trees is a new approach in botanical taxonomy. Representations of individual trees are a prerequisite for accurate assessments of tree growth and morphological metronomy. This study ... -
