The floodplain forest ecosystems have the unique biodiversity despite of long-term human alternations of floodplain landscapes. The priorities of nature conservation in central European floodplains currently aimed to coppice and standard-with-coppice forest stands, which are relics of historical ways of forest management. This paper deals with a proposal of management strategy for floodplain forests in the Czech Republic. A management strategy which would compromise the commercial interests of production of renewa...

The aim of this article is to assess the impact of changes in particle size on the production yield during thermal degradation пїЅ pyrolysis process. For the purpose of this research the energy grass пїЅ black bent grass (Agrostis gigantea) was selected. The input material has been tested in four different granulometric fractions пїЅ original unadjusted material, crushed material, and also in the form of two kinds of pellets of different size. For pellets, the basic mechanical properties were determined пїЅ mechan...

This article aims to assess the actual possibilities of thermal degradation during the processing of the plastic and the mixed plastic waste. For these materials, it can be problematic to find utilization in some of the available recycling processes. These selected materials have been processed in the prototype unit for thermal degradation in the non-oxygen environment. This technological equipment is designed for continuous feeding of the input material, the retort is heated by flue gas from natural gas and the d...
