Abstract:
... In many scientific studies, beams reinforced with synthetic fiber ribbons are modeled, wood composites and materials are designed, and structures made with hollow core boards are developed. However, no research was conducted on increasing the width of the flat wooden panels by modeling an openwork structure and obtaining them from solid panels of smaller width. The research aimed to determine the ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Marcescence, the phenomenon in which plants hold their leaves after senescence, is common in nature. To date, the ecological relevance of marcescent leaves has been highlighted predominantly in arid ecosystems, where the photodegradation of recalcitrant compounds in such leaves facilitates their subsequent decomposition once shed. Marcescence, however, is widespread also in te ...

The distinction of changes in herb layer communities related to the dynamics of the forest stand and / or the regimes of forest management from that managed by random or non-random, global environmental disturbance, would allow for more precise recognition, and counteracting the effects of contemporary threats. In this work, we integrated databases of long-term vegetation records from tree researc ...

Abstract:
... Demand for honeydew honey (HDH) is growing, both from consumers and the food industry, due to its potential antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. However, information on the chemical profile of HDH remains scant, particularly on New Zealand honeydew honey (NZHDH). This paper aims to provide a comprehensive chemical analysis of NZHDH produced from honeybees, which feed on ne ...

Τhe models were evaluated using adjusted R square (Adⱼ Rₛqᵣ) root mean square error (RMSE) and Akaike information criterion (AICc), where necessary. In general, the quadratic polynomial and cubic polynomial models and the two-parameter power mod ...

Abstract:
... Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) play an important role in the biogeochemical C-, N- and P-cycles but there is limited knowledge about their effect on the composition and stability of organic matter (OM) in soil. In pine and beech dominated temperate forests, the different compartments of biocrust, crust-adhering soil and crust-free soil were analysed by pyrolysis field ionization mass spectrome ...

Abstract:
... Charcoal piles have become a frequent subject of research in recent years as a better understanding of past human activities in forests is sought. The age of charcoal piles is usually determined by radiocarbon dating; dendrochronology is rarely used because of the small size of preserved charcoal remains and the insufficient number of visible tree rings. This paper presents the potential for dendr ...

Abstract:
... Only trace amounts of sulfur (tens to thousands of ppm) are present in bio-oils produced from fast pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass. However, even such small amounts of sulfur-containing compounds can act as catalytic poisons during bio-oil upgrading. To improve the knowledge of sulfur speciation in bio-oils for process design and development, e.g. by hydrotreatment, comprehensive two-dimensio ...

Abstract:
... Montane temperate forests in central and southern Europe host diverse small mammal assemblages, but the fluctuations in these assemblages in correlation with owl predators are still poorly explored. The key questions of our study were how coexisting owls responded to different prey fluctuations and whether any particular small mammal species governed predator–prey co‐dynamics. We conducted a long‐ ...
