The main objective of the study was to evaluate long-term growth response of spruce to climatic factors using the set of 3,062 tree-ring series collected in 2013-2019 from the entire territory of the Czech Republic. Multivariate analysis of dendrochronological data and available environmental...

The main objective of the study was to evaluate long-term growth response of spruce to extreme stress event during the winter of 1995/96 in the Krušné hory Mts. (Czech Republic) using methods of dendrochronology. For the purpose of the study, ten permanent monitoring plots located along the main...

Floodplain forests represent a valuable ecosystem with a high level of biodiversity, which is dependent on the natural dynamics of soil moisture. In the Czech Republic, this ecosystem has been under negative anthropogenic influences. It is a key to study the effect of the pumping of ground water...

Types and proportions of natural canopy accession strategies of Norway spruce reflect local changes in historical forest structure and dynamics. Through the detection of growth strategies, it is possible to identify historical events such as disturbances; the main drivers affecting primeval forests ...

The survey of historical data about Lymantria monacha L. outbreaks in the Brdy Mountains was processed for purpose of dendrochrono-logical research. Eight greater outbreaks occurred in the past which led to total defoliation in some stands. The first record of Lymantria monacha outbreak in this...

The aim of this work was to carry out a tree-ring analysis, to determine density, shrinkage and compressive strength parallel to the grain of Blue spruce (Picea pungens Engelm.) wood. Results of this work were specific due to the non-forest origin of the sample material that was from two solitaire...

Woody debris is an inseparable part of natural river channels. In a river ecosystem it affects the hydraulic, hydrological and morphological properties of the channel, and it is also of a biological significance. However, besides the positive effects, the woody debris can also have a negative...

The long-term (>45 years) investigation of the particular components of hydrological regime in the experimental catchments Červík and Malá Ráztoka in the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy Mountains in Czech Republic, presents a great deal of data on climatic development of those localities. High quality ...

Data necessary for the determination of the proportion of various types of branching in stands under study, their variability within a tree, accuracy of classification of the type of branching, damage to particular types of branching due to breakage and its regeneration and initial age for their...

Results are given of a preliminary tree-ring analysis of 10 spruce (Picea) sample trees in Luisino valley in the Orlické Mts., Czech Republic. Tree ring width, and the maximum density, width and proportion of latewood in tree rings were measured using the radiodensitometric method.
