• A synthesis of the arctic terrestrial and marine carbon cycles under pressure from a dwindling cryosphere 

      Parmentier, Frans-Jan; Christensen, Torben R.; Rysgaard, Søren; Bendtsen, Jørgen; Glud, Ronnie N; Brent, Else; van Huissteden, Jacobus; Sachs, Torsten; Vonk, Jorien E.; Sejr, Mikael K (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Abstract The current downturn of the arctic cryosphere, such as the strong loss of sea ice, melting of ice sheets and glaciers, and permafrost thaw, affects the marine and terrestrial carbon cycles in numerous interconnected ...
    • Catchment effects of a future Nordic bioeconomy: From land use to water resources 

      Skarbøvik, Eva; Jordan, Philip; Lepistö, Ahti; Kronvang, Brian; Stutter, Marc; Vermaat, Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09-14)
      In the future, the world is expected to rely increasingly on renewable biomass resources for food, fodder, fibre and fuel. The sustainability of this transition to bioeconomy for our water systems depends to a large extent ...
    • Climate effects on land management and stream nitrogen concentrations in small agricultural catchments in Norway 

      Wenng, Hannah; Bechmann, Marianne; Krogstad, Tore; Skarbøvik, Eva (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09-12)
      Land use and climate change can impact water quality in agricultural catchments. The objectives were to assess long-term monitoring data to quantify changes to the thermal growing season length, investigate farmer adaptations ...
    • Climate mitigation and intensified forest management in Norway: To what extent are surface waters safeguarded? 

      Sundnes, Frode; Karlsson, Marianne; Platjouw, Froukje Maria; Clarke, Nicholas; Kaste, Øyvind; Valinia, Salar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09-12)
      While the role of forestry in mitigating climate change is increasingly subject to political commitment, other areas, such as water protection, may be at risk. In this study, we ask whether surface waters are sufficiently ...
    • Comparing nutrient reference concentrations in Nordic countries with focus on lowland rivers 

      Skarbøvik, Eva; Aroviita, Jukka; Fölster, Jens; Lyche Solheim, Anne; Kyllmar, Katarina; Rankinen, Katri; Kronvang, Brian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09-15)
      Reference conditions of water bodies are defined as the natural or minimal anthropogenically disturbed state. We compared the methods for determining total phosphorus and total nitrogen concentrations in rivers in Finland, ...
    • Invasive forest pathogens in Europe: Cross-country variation in public awareness but consistency in policy acceptability 

      Eriksson, Louise; Boberg, Johanna; Cech, Thomas L.; Corcobado, Tamara; Desprez-Loustau, Marie-Laure; Hietala, Ari Mikko; Jung, Marilia Horta; Jung, Thomas; Lehtijarvi, Hatice Tugba Dogmus; Oskay, Funda; Slavov, Slavtcho; Solheim, Halvor; Stenlid, Jan; Oliva, Jonas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-23)
      Political action can reduce introductions of diseases caused by invasive forest pathogens (IPs) and public support is important for effective prevention. The public’s awareness of IP problems and the acceptability of ...
    • Phosphorus retention, erosion protection and farmers’ perceptions of riparian buffer zones with grass and natural vegetation: Case studies from South-Eastern Norway 

      Blankenberg, Anne-Grete Buseth; Skarbøvik, Eva (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09-15)
      Phosphorus retention and bank erosion was investigated in two types of buffer zones in cereal fields in Norway: zones used for grass production and zones with natural vegetation. Farmers’ views on the two types of buffer ...
    • Potential impacts of a future Nordic bioeconomy on surface water quality 

      Marttila, Hannu; Lepistö, Ahti; Tolvanen, Anne; Bechmann, Marianne; Kyllmar, Katarina; Juutinen, Artti; Wenng, Hannah Tabea; Skarbøvik, Eva; Futter, Martyn; Kortelainen, Pirkko; Rankinen, Katri; Hellsten, Seppo; Kløve, Bjørn; Kronvang, Brian; Kaste, Øyvind; Solheim, Anne Lyche; Bhattacharjee, Joy; Rakovic, Jelena; de Wit, Heleen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09-12)
      Nordic water bodies face multiple stressors due to human activities, generating diffuse loading and climate change. The ‘green shift’ towards a bio-based economy poses new demands and increased pressure on the environment. ...
    • Toward a statistical description of methane emissions from arctic wetlands 

      Pirk, Norbert; Mastepanov, Mikhail; López-Blanco, Efrén; Christensen, Louise H.; Christiansen, Hanne H; Hansen, Birger Ulf; Lund, Magnus; Parmentier, Frans-Jan W.; Skov, Kirstine; Christensen, Torben R. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-23)
      Methane (CH4) emissions from arctic tundra typically follow relations with soil temperature and water table depth, but these process-based descriptions can be difficult to apply to areas where no measurements exist. We ...
