TRANSPIRATION AND WATER POTENTIAL OF YOUNG QUERCUS PETRAEA (M.) LIEBL. COPPICE SPROUTS AND SEEDLINGS DURING FAVOURABLE AND DROUGHT CONDITIONS

Transpiration and water potential of young Quercus petraea (M.) Liebl. coppice sprouts and seedlings during favourable and drought conditions

Increased frequency and intensity of drought events consequently affect oak high forests with the process of further decline, compromised growth and questionable natural regeneration.To overcome such difficulties, new adaptive strategies are required.Coppicing, as the oldest way of forest management, might provide some solutions.In our study two co

Health risks occurring when color is percepted under led lighting

The article deals with problems of color perception under LED lighting.We revealed that inadequate perception of a signal color by a driver led to Boy Short greater risks of transport accidents.We reviewed both Jung-Helmholtz three-color hypothesis and a modern one based on fiber-optical approach to functioning of "Mueller cells and cones" system.W

Should Soil Testing Services Measure Soil Biological Activity?

Health of agricultural soils depends largely on conservation management to promote soil organic matter accumulation.Total soil organic matter changes slowly, but active fractions are more dynamic.A key MAGNESIUM GEL indicator of healthy soil is potential biological activity, which could be measured rapidly with soil testing services via the flush o

Recombinant Rift Valley fever viruses encoding bluetongue virus (BTV) antigens: Immunity and efficacy studies upon a BTV-4 challenge.

BackgroundMany ruminant diseases of viral aetiology can be effectively prevented using appropriate vaccination measures.For diseases such as Rift Valley fever (RVF) the long inter-epizootic periods make routine vaccination programs unfeasible.Coupling RVF prophylaxis with seasonal vaccination programmes by means of multivalent vaccine platforms wou
