Mechanical properties provide information to design and develop suitable machines (equipment) for processing, transporting, conveying chestnuts. Four chestnut cultivars that have not been studied before were investigated in the study carried out this purpose. Some engineering of Macit 55, Akyüz, Ali Nihat, Bouche de Betizac determined compared. The mechanical by rupture force, energy, deformati...

Temperate soils are threatened by degradation and soil organic matter (SOM) loss due to a combination of geomorphology, types, anthropic pressure. In 54 sites in Northern Italy, characterized different land uses, climates, geological substrates, soils, we assessed (i) the quality, (ii) SOM accumulation/degradation patterns, (iii) whether use related management practices sustainable based on cha...

Abstract Sweet chestnut forests in Bosnia and Herzegovina are underrepresented the total forest fund, their area is declining today. The research aims to determine correlation relations of morphological traits leaves, fruit cupule population Bosnian Krajina (northwestern Herzegovina) undertake selection breeding activities. Eleven fruits, leaves cupules were measured, seven assessed six calcula...
