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 ... -
Physical-Mechanical Properties of Peat Moss (Sphagnum) Insulation Panels with Bio-Based Adhesives
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)Rising energy and raw material prices, dwindling resources, increased recycling, and the need for sustainable management have led to growth in the smart materials sector. In recent years, the importance and diversity of ... -
Vertical spread of Hymenoscyphus fraxineus propagules
(Pensoft Publishers, 2023)Currently, the ash dieback causal agent Hymenoscyphus fraxineus is an established invasive pathogen in most European countries. Its potential to spread quickly among invaded forests is based on its propagules: airborne ... -
Conditions of emergence of the Sooty Bark Disease and aerobiology of Cryptostroma corticale in Europe
(Pensoft Publishers, 2023)The sooty bark disease (SBD) is an emerging disease affecting sycamore maple trees (Acer pseudoplatanus) in Europe. Cryptostroma corticale, the causal agent, putatively native to eastern North America, can be also pathogenic ... -
Worldwide tests of generic attractants, a promising tool for early detection of non-native cerambycid species
(Pensoft Publishers, 2023)A large proportion of the insects which have invaded new regions and countries are emerging species, being found for the first time outside their native range. Being able to detect such species upon arrival at ports of ... -
COVID-19 vaccine equity for the Global South: Vaccination challenges and opportunities for small and poor countries
(European Scientific Institute (ESI), 2023)The effects of COVID-19 have significantly interrupted countries and the social order across the globe. However, the developing countries which could not manufacture or even buy the most wanted commodity: COVID-19 Vaccine, ... -
Population dynamics of the common shrew (Sorex araneus) in Central European forest clearings
(Springer New York, 2023)The population dynamics of shrews (Soricidae) are not well known even though they form an important part of forest ecosystems and represent suitable bioindicators of ecosystem quality. The aim of this study was to evaluate ... -
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 ... -
Comparison of the Biomass and Dendrometric Parameters of Norway Spruce with Its Different Representations in Young Stands at Lower Altitudes in the Czech Republic
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2023)In forestry, it is still common to plant the seedlings of and cultivate Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst) at lower altitudes; however, the climatic change that has been occurring increases evaporative demands in these ... -
Properties of Plywood Panels Composed of Thermally Densified and Non-Densified Alder and Birch Veneers
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2023)Ukrainian companies mainly use birch in the manufacture of plywood, but species, such as black alder, are not yet widely used in the manufacture of plywood due to their poorer properties. It is well known that thermal ... -
Provenance affects the growth and mortality of teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) plantations cultivated in central Nicaragua
(Česká akademie zemědělských věd, 2023)Teak has been planted extensively by smallholders in Central America within reforestation programmes and has become one of the most valuable timbers. The five-year growth and mortality of teak cultivated in a plantation ... -
Comparison of Rainfall Partitioning and Estimation of the Utilisation of Available Water in a Monoculture Beech Forest and a Mixed Beech-Oak-Linden Forest
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2023)Monoculture forests formed by Fagus sylvatica L. belong to one of the most sensitive forest ecosystems, mainly at low altitudes. Cultivation of this species in mixed stands should reduce its sensitivity to drought in the ... -
Characterization of Curing and Bonding of Wood with Adhesive Mixtures of Liquefied Wood and Hexamethylenediamine
(Tech Science Press, 2023)Various crosslinking agents can be added to the formulations of natural-based adhesives for wood bonding in order to achieve better durability and higher strength of the formed joints. In the present study, the effect of ... -
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 ... -
