The goal of this study is evaluation of the effect of different levels of plant water stress on their subsequent performance in the first growing season after planting. The most noticeable manifestation of current global climate change are more frequent drought periods of greater intensity and...

In order to determine the possible disturbance of the planting material by incorrect manipulation, the method of plant moisture stress (PMS) assessment was used. Two-year-old Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L) seedlings collected on two different dates in two forest nurseries were used. Seedlings were ...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the change in the air-conditioning function of forest stands and agricultural landscape in the wider vicinity of Dačice town (328 km²) in the period 1990-2019. The air-conditioning function is manifested by the values of the surface temperature on sunny days in...

This proceedings contains 70 papers covering a wide range of topics, including: climate change and models; drought and its impact on agriculture; crop production, yields and cropping systems; plant genetics, nutrition and water use efficiency; morphology and physiology of forest trees; response and ...

The results of five-year study of the root system of Pyrus pyraster and Sorbus domestica using the analytical software WinRhizo are presented. There are documented the interspecific differences in the root architecture (including morphology and topology) of Sorbus and Pyrus juvenile plants grown...

During the course of spruce somatic embryo development there were significant changes in β-1,3-glucanases and chitinases activities. Distinct stages of embryo development were characterized by different activities of β-1,3-glucanases, and distinct isoform activities in chitinases, respectively. The ...

Genus Pouzaroporia, typified by the North-American Pouzaroporia subrufa, has been regarded monotypic, containing only one species. Nevertheless, in Europe it is represented by at least two species with similar morphology but distinctly different sequences. The paper reports of recent collections of ...

The article presents comparative analysis of water use efficiency (WUE) of forested micro-watersheds located in the area of Forest Training Enterprise Masarykův Les Křtiny (FTE MF), Czech Republic, during precipitation-free periods of a part of the 2015 growing season. The micro-watersheds can be...

Douglas-fir (DF) is thought to be a convenient substitution of declined Norway spruce (NS) in the Czech Republic. Information on water regime of DF and stand mixtures with DF is important particularly in relation to climatic oscillations posing both flood and drought risks to forests. Taking into...

Water potential ψ is an important characteristic physiological quality of planting stock of forest trees. In forestry is often used feature "plant moisture stress" (PMS) which has the same value, but unlike the negative ψ has a positive sign. Water stress of stem was evaluated in fresh seedlings of ...
