Compositional Changes in Foliage Phenolics with Plant Age, a Natural Experiment in Boreal Forests
Wam, Hilde Karine; Stolter, Caroline; Nybakken, Line (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-09)The composition of plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) extensively impacts ecosystem functioning. It is vital that we understand temporal patterns in the plants’ allocation of resources to PSMs, particularly those influenced ... -
Contrasting impact of whole-tree-harvesting on chemical quality of plant foliage in coastal versus inland forest
Fjære, Sigmund; Clarke, Nicholas; Nybakken, Line; Wam, Hilde K (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-09)Whole-tree-harvesting (WTH) is gaining support as a means to obtain more bioenergy from forests. One aspect that is scarcely addressed is its impact on the chemical quality of post-harvest plant growth, which may initiate ... -
Fertilization of Norway spruce forest with wood ash and nitrogen affected both tree growth and composition of chemical defence
Hanssen, Kjersti Holt; Asplund, Johan; Clarke, Nicholas; Selmer, Ruben; Nybakken, Line (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-10-05)We fertilized a Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) stand on rich mineral soil with 3 t ha−1 of wood ash (ASH), 150 kg ha−1 of nitrogen (N) or a combination of wood ash and nitrogen (ASH + N), in addition to unfertilized ... -
Long term effects of ionising radiation in the Chernobyl Exclusion zone on DNA integrity and chemical defence systems of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris)
Nybakken, Line; Lee, YeonKyeong; Brede, Dag Anders; Mageroy, Melissa; Lind, Ole Christian; Salbu, Brit; Kashparov, Valerii; Olsen, Jorunn Elisabeth (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-12-15)The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (ChNPP) accident in 1986 resulted in extremely high levels of acute ionising radiation, that killed or damaged Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) trees in the surrounding areas. Dead trees were ... -
Moose selecting for specific nutritional composition of birch places limits on food acceptability
Wam, Hilde Karine; Felton, Annika M.; Stolter, Caroline; Nybakken, Line; Hjeljord, Olav (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-20)Despite decades of intense research, it remains largely unsolved which nutritional factors underpin food selection by large herbivores in the wild. We measured nutritional composition of birch foliage (Betula pubescens) ...
