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 ... -
Cultural ecosystem services of geodiversity: A case study from Stranska skala (Brno, Czech Republic)
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)The concept of ecosystem services developed in the second half of the 20th century, and the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment was crucial for its acceptance. This assessment identified the services that ecosystems provide ... -
Comparison of Different Remote Sensing Methods for 3D Modeling of Small Rock Outcrops
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)This paper reviews the use of modern 3D image-based and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) methods of surface reconstruction techniques for high fidelity surveys of small rock outcrops to highlight their potential within ... -
Visual Exposure of Rock Outcrops in the Context of a Forest Disease Outbreak Simulation Based on a Canopy Height Model and Spectral Information Acquired by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)This research was focused on the study of visual exposure evolution in the locality of the Drátenická skála nature monument (in the Czech Republic) and the surrounding forest complex in terms of history and through modelling ... -
Analysis of serious and fatal occupational accidents associated with tractors in agriculture and forestry in the Czech Republic
(Mendelova univerzita v Brně, 2020)Agriculture and forestry have traditionally been one of the most hazardous occupations for workers. In both these sectors the tractor is one of the most used machinery. From a total of 89 detected serious and fatal accidents ... -

(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)Over the last decades, climate change has triggered an increase in the frequency of sprucebark beetle (Ips typographusL.) in Central Europe. More than 50% of forests in the Czech Republic areseriously threatened by this ... -
Comparison of LiDAR-based Models for True Leaf Area Index and Effective Leaf Area Index Estimation in Young Beech Forests
(Mendelova univerzita v Brně, 2020)The leaf area index (LAI) is one of the most common leaf area and canopy structure quantifiers. Direct LAI measurement and determination of canopy characteristics in larger areas is unrealistic due to the large number of ... -
Development of sessile oak and European hornbeam sprouts after thinning
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2017)We observed the growth of juvenile sprouts at stool level in an oak-hornbeam selective coppice after selective thinning. We tested the relations of sprouting probability, number and height of new sprouts, and stool biometric ... -
