(Cambridge University Press, 2022)Two populations of the species Diastolaimus grossus have been obtained from bark of trees in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Czech Republic. The species is described and characterized in detail using morphological techniques ... -
Wood-water interactions of thermally modified, acetylated and melamine formaldehyde resin impregnated beech wood
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2022)The wood-water interactions of modified beech wood (Fagus sylvatica L.) were studied. Specimens were thermally modified at 180 (TM1), 200 (TM2) and 220 degrees C (TM3), acetylated (Acet), and melamine formaldehyde (MF) ... -
Patterns of Ips cembrae (Herr) infestation on trap and standing trees of European larch (Larix decidua Mill.)
(Northeast Forestry University, 2023)The large larch beetle, Ips cembrae, is a significant pest causing the death of larch. In 2020, the attack density of I. cembrae on larch trap trees and standing trees was evaluated using sample sections placed along the ... -
Examining the spatial spillover of gambling regulation in the Czech Republic
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd., 2023)The responsibility of spatial regulation of gambling in the Czech Republic is placed on municipalities, the smallest self-governing units in the country. This creates a possibility that the effectiveness of regulation may ... -
Ecological, morphological and phylogenetic survey of Fomes fomentarius and F. inzengae (Agaricomycetes, Polyporaceae) co-occurring in the same geographic area in Central Europe
(Springer Heidelberg, 2023)The phenomenon of cryptic species is widespread among various fungal lineages. Fomes inzengae (Ces. & De Not.) Cooke has been recently recognized as a South European kin of wood-decay basidiomycete F. fomentarius (L.) Fr. ... -
Waste sulfur from biogas desulphurization: a supplement of Brassica napus L. nutrition
(Taylor & Francis Inc., 2024)The content of sulfur in soils has been declining. Possible option to supply sulfur into the soil can be utilization of waste sulfur from biogas production. Two pot experiments with identical treatments were established ... -
