Abstract A stable below‐canopy microclimate of forests is essential for their biodiversity and ecosystem functionality. Forest management necessarily modifies the buffering capacity woodlands. However, specific effects different forestry treatments on site conditions, temporal recovery after harvests, reason contrasts between are still poorly understood. The four (clear‐cutting, retention tree group, preparation cutting, gap‐cutting) microclimatic variables were studied within a field...
Ecological, economic, and social demands triggered a shift in the management of temperate deciduous forests from rotation forestry system towards more nature-based forest techniques such as continuous cover forestry. However, there is insufficient knowledge on regeneration success different tree species—especially oaks—within this system. Through systematic experiment, we compared processes sessile oak-hornbeam after gap-cutting (as an element system) to clear-cutting, preparation cutting,...
Forest management integrating nature conservation aspects into timber production focuses increasingly on small-scale interventions. However, the ecological consequences of gap cuttings remain ambiguous in oak-dominated forests. In Pilis Gap Experiment, we analyze how combinations different shapes (circular and elongated), sizes (150 m2 300 m2) affect microclimate biota a mature sessile oak-hornbeam forest Hungary. We first report changes direct diffuse light, soil moisture, daily air...
Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer–bounded particles that actively synthesized and released by cells. The main components of EVs lipids, proteins, nucleic acids their composition is characteristic to type origin, it reveals the physiological pathological conditions parent concentration protein closely relate functions; therefore, total determination can assist in EV-based diagnostics disease prognosis. Here, we present a simple, reagent-free method based on attenuated...
The invasive spotted wing Drosophila (SWD) represents new challenges for European and North American fruit producers. aim of our study was to examine wine grape cultivar susceptibility this pest melanogaster-type (MTD) by surveying drosophilid populations using field traps conducting emergence tests. We assessed fly development from intact artificially injured berries collected four cultivars. Berries were incubated individually in pooled samples evaluate infestation patterns potential...
considered endemic to the European Alps.It was known in Austria, Germany, Italy and Switzerland (Holyoak & Köckinger, 2010).Recently, it reported for first time Asia from Zabaikalsky Territory, southern Siberia (Ellis et al., 2014a), later found Republic of Sakha/Yakutia Primorsky Far East (Czernyadjeva 2015).These records Russian confirm a highly disjunctive distribution species Eurasia.Therefore, its presence Caucasus quite predictable.In future, A. bavaricum may be other regions Caucasus,...
Forest management alters forest site; however, information is still limited about how different silvicultural treatments modify abiotic conditions. We compared the effects of four from three forestry systems on microclimate, litter, and soil The clear-cutting, retention tree group, preparation cutting, gap-cutting were experimentally established in a European oak-dominated forest, following complete block design with six replicates. In this study, we show results quantitative analyses 21...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) kill bacteria by targeting their membranes through various mechanisms involving peptide assembly, often coupled with disorder-to-order structural transition. However, for several AMPs, similar conformational changes in cases which small organic compounds of both endogenous and exogenous origin have induced folded conformations recently been reported. Thus, the function AMPs natural host defence can be significantly affected local complex molecular environment...
Grape production worldwide is increasingly threatened by grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs). No cultivar known to be entirely resistant GTDs, but susceptibility varies greatly. To quantify these differences, four Hungarian grape germplasm collections containing 305 different cultivars were surveyed determine the ratios of GTDs based on symptom expression and proportion plant loss within all GTD symptoms. The monophyletic Vitis vinifera L. origin amongst most sensitive ones, their sensitivity...
Introduction The bryophyte flora of Hungary was relatively well studied during the twentieth century, but data on present-day frequency and geographical distribution Hungarian bryophytes are lacking. We present here our preliminary results based recent fieldwork herbarium studies.Methods recorded occurrences in grid cells (quadrants) approximately 5.5 × 6 km. Frequency determined number quadrants, evaluated terms 19 administrative units (counties) country. To investigate correlations between...
Forest management has a major impact on the understorey vegetation, with intensity and type of applied silvicultural treatments driving variable vegetation responses. We compared variables across different experimental in temperate oak-hornbeam forest Central Hungary. Five treatment types were used six replicates representing rotation selection systems: control (C), clear-cutting (CC), gap-cutting (G), preparation cutting (P), retention tree group (R). The response several was investigated...
The infrared emission spectra of CO adsorbed on alumina-supported 1, 3, and 5 wt % Rh, Ir, Pt metal-containing catalysts were studied at 423 473 K. While is in dicarbonyl (dimer), linearly (on-top) bonded bridged carbonyl forms rhodium platinum, the dimer form dominant iridium. relative intensity Rh−CO Ir−CO linear bands decrease with increasing temperature compared to bands; corresponding behave opposite way. Two two Pt−CO identified Pt/Al2O3 catalysts. surface structure (kinked or planar...

Abstract Abstract. [Tetraamminecadmium(II)] bis(permanganate) ( 1 ) was prepared and its crystal structure elucidated with XRD‐Rietveld refinement vibrational spectroscopic methods. Compound has a cubic lattice consisting of 3D hydrogen‐bonded network built as four by distorted tetrahedral blocks [Cd(NH 3 4 ] 2+ cations MnO – anions, respectively. The other permanganate ions are located in crystallographically different environment, placed the cavities formed attachment building blocks. A...
Abstract Hornbeam ( Carpinus betulus ) is an economically significant tree species, serving as a valuable resource for timber and ornamental wood products. It plays crucial ecological role within forest communities exhibits wide distribution across Central Europe. During October 2022 March 2023, we encountered instances of declining hornbeam trees in Hungary Slovakia. In both cases, characteristic symptoms associated with Cryphonectria canker were observed. Subsequent morphological...
The relevance of forests in mitigating biodiversity loss and the negative effects climate change on biota is largely shaped by below-canopy microclimatic conditions, which are buffered, cooler more humid compared to adjoining open habitats. Water-filled tree holes (dendrotelms, DTs) special tree-related microhabitats that host semi-aquatic communities important substrates or water sources for numerous taxa (e.g., birds, mammals, insects, fungi, bryophytes). Despite their microrefugia-role...
