Abstract In this study four kinds of biochars were prepared from the KOH modified biomass. As carbon precursors there was used sawdust following trees: oak, hornbeam, apple and cherry. The physicochemical properties materials characterized by N 2 adsorption, scanning electron microscopy, thermal analysis (TG, DTG DTA), infrared spectroscopy, Boehm’s titration method. Moreover, pH pzc (the point...

Epiphytic lichens were surveyed in the “Bosco Siro Negri” Integral Nature State Reserve (province of Pavia, Lombardy, NW Italy), which hosts a well-preserved fragment oak-elm floodplain forest (Natura 2000 Habitat 91F0). The core woodland hosted only four species on tree boles, i.e. Lepraria finkii plus specialists Coenogonium pineti, Diarthonis spadicea, and Opegrapha vermicellifera. An additi...

The distribution of the Middle Spotted Woodpecker (Leiopicus medius) is restricted to mature deciduous forests with large trees, mainly oaks (Quercus spp.). Intensive forest management resulted in loss many suitable habitats, thus resulting a decline population this species. This study aimed identify parameters foraging sites breeding season (April June) and non-breeding (other months). researc...
