Kolmogorovʼ entropy to investigate variation of forest soil properties in the Czech Republic
(Elsevier Science BV, 2022)A measure of variation in values of physico-chemical properties of different soil groups is influenced by deterministic uncertainty. In this study, we assessed variation level of soil horizon properties in the most wide-spread ... -
Monitoring Bark Beetle Forest Damage in Central Europe. A Remote Sensing Approach Validated with Field Data
(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 ... -
Mortality reduces overyielding in mixed Scots pine and European beech stands along a precipitation gradient in Europe
(Elsevier Science BV, 2023)Many studies show that mixed species stands can have higher gross growth, or so-called overyielding, compared with monocultures. However, much less is known about mortality in mixed stands. Knowledge is lacking, for example, ... -
Physical Properties of Silver Fir (Abies alba L.) Wood Cladding Modified by Traditional Japanese Charring Method
(North Carolina State University, 2023)Silver fir (Abies alba L.) wood samples were charred on one surface using an enhanced version of the traditional Japanese Yakisugi method. The 15 charred boards obtained from five charring chimneys were divided into three ... -
Properties of lightweight particleboard made with sunflower stalk particles in the core layer
(Elsevier Science BV, 2023)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 ... -
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 ... -
The Protection of Ash Trees Against Ash Dieback by Tree Injections
(Elsevier GmbH, 2023)Ash dieback caused by a non-native pathogenic fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus has been decimating populations of European Fraxinus species for over 30 years. Nevertheless, there is still a considerable amount of valuable ... -
Small industrial towns in Moravia: a comparison of the production and post-productive eras
(Taylor & Francis Ltd., 2023)The paper focuses on the changes to the industrial structure of small Moravian towns as these towns are part of the settlement structure that connects urban and rural systems. Small towns (of up to 15,000 inhabitants) are ... -
Soil Degradation Processes Linked to Long-Term Forest-Type Damage
(IntechOpen Limited, 2023)Forest degradation impairs ability of the whole landscape adaptation to environmental change. The impacts of forest degradation on landscape are caused by a self-organization decline. At the present time, the self-organization ... -
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), ... -
Surface charring of silver fir wood cladding using an enhanced traditional Japanese Yakisugi method
(North Carolina State University, 2022)The aim of this work was to better understand the ignition method of timber charring in order to improve the industrial process. Three silver fir boards were tied together to make a triangular prism, which acted as a ... -
Temporal and spatial variability of phloem structure in Picea abies and Fagus sylvatica and its link to climate
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2024)Using a unique 8-year data set (2010-2017) of phloem data, we studied the effect of temperature and precipitation on the phloem anatomy (conduit area, widths of ring, early and late phloem) and xylem-ring width in two ... -
Testing the Production Potential of Paulownia Clon In Vitro 112(R) in the Czech Republic
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2023)Paulownia is a deciduous fast-growing tree with intensive sprouting ability and is well adapted to various climatic and soil conditions. Its native area extends from the middle to the lower section of the Yangtze River. ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
