Governing dual objectives within single policy mixes: an empirical analysis of large carnivore policies in six European countries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-11-03)Policy mixes (i.e. the total structure of policy processes, strategies, and instruments) are complex constructs that can quickly become incoherent, inconsistent, and incomprehensive. This is amplified when the policy mix ... -
Losses and grass silage quality in bunker silos compacted by tractor versus wheel loader
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-04-27)The study aimed to explore whether an increase in bunker silage density obtained by turning to a heavier packing machine than a farm size tractor would reduce losses and improve grass silage quality and aerobic stability. ... -
Changes in the Proanthocyanidin Composition and Related Gene Expression in Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) Tissues
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-06-16)Berries of genus Vaccinium are rich in flavonoids and proanthocyanidins (PAs). We studied the PA composition and biosynthesis in bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) tissues and during fruit development. Soluble PAs, analyzed ... -
Highways associated with expansion of boreal scavengers into the alpine tundra of Fennoscandia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-05-17)1. Habitat fragmentation may affect species distributions through, for example, altered resource availability and shifts in species interactions. Fragmentation by roads has had negative impacts on Fennoscandian alpine ... -
Harvest is associated with the disruption of social and finescale genetic structure among matrilines of a solitary large carnivore
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-11-27)Harvest can disrupt wildlife populations by removing adults with naturally high survival. This can reshape sociospatial structure, genetic composition, fitness, and potentially affect evolution. Genetic tools can detect ... -
Using ecological context to interpret spatiotemporal variation in natural selection
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-11-23)Spatiotemporal variation in natural selection is expected, but difficult to estimate. Pollinator‐mediated selection on floral traits provides a good system for understanding and linking variation in selection to differences ... -
Assessing forest availability for wood supply in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-11-10)The quantification of forests available for wood supply (FAWS) is essential for decision-making with regard to the maintenance and enhancement of forest resources and their contribution to the global carbon cycle. The ... -
Efficiency drivers in harvesting operations in mixed Boreal stands: a Norwegian case study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-06-17)This paper uses Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to evaluate how the technical efficiency of forest harvesting operations is influenced by terrain conditions and forest attributes, in addition to exploring the existence of ... -
Fertilization of Norway spruce forest with wood ash and nitrogen affected both tree growth and composition of chemical defence
(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 ... -
Functionality of Embryo Sacs in Pear Cultivars ‘Ingeborg’ and ‘Celina’ as Related to Fruit Set under Nordic Climate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-12-05)Since the European pear (Pyrus communis L.) is a self-incompatible fruit species, synchrony and compatibility between female parts of the mother plant and male gametes from the pollen donor must be fulfilled. Besides ... -
Combining thermotherapy with meristem culture for improved eradication of onion yellow dwarf virus and shallot latent virus from infected in vitro-cultured shallot shoots
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09-25)The present study described a combining thermotherapy with meristem culture for improved eradication of onion yellow dwarf virus (OYDV) and shallot latent virus (SLV) from co‐infected in vitro‐cultured shallot shoots. In ... -
Management of seed-borne Sirococcus conigenus on Norway spruce by fungicide seed treatment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-04)Seedling blight caused by Sirococcus conigenus was recently reported on Norway spruce (Picea abies) from Norwegian forest nurseries. The inoculum source was found to be infected seeds. In a Petri dish assay, the fungicide ... -
The Potential for Decision Support Tools to Improve the Management of Root-Feeding Fly Pests of Vegetables in Western Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-06-13)Several important vegetable crops grown outdoors in temperate climates in Europe can be damaged by the root-feeding larvae of Diptera (Delia radicum, Delia floralis, Chamaepsila rosae, Delia platura, Delia florilega, Delia ... -
A sensor-fusion-system for tracking sheep location and behaviour
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-05-13)The growing interest in precision livestock farming is prompted by a desire to understand the basic behavioural needs of the animals and optimize the contribution of each animal. The aim of this study was to develop a ... -
A Mini-Review of Ixodes Ticks Climate Sensitive Infection Dispersion Risk in the Nordic Region
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-07-27)Climate change in the Nordic countries is projected to lead to both wetter and warmer seasons. This, in combination with associated vegetation changes and increased animal migration, increases the potential incidence of ... -
Genetic population structure of the monogenean parasite Gyrodactylus thymalli and its host European grayling (Thymallus thymallus) in a large Norwegian lake
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-10-15)Understanding how populations are structured in space and time is a central question in evolutionary biology. Parasites and their hosts are assumed to evolve together, however, detailed understanding of mechanisms leading ... -
Rebaling of silage and haylage and its effects on forage microbial and chemical composition—A pilot study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-04-22)Use of big bale silage and haylage can be difficult on farms where daily forage consumption is comparatively low as speed of deterioration of forage after bale opening may be faster than feed‐out rate. Production of smaller ... -
The combined effects of centralization and carnivore management on sheep farmers and sheep farming in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09-12)Sheep farmers in areas with large carnivores experience economic loss, psychological stress, and perceived alienation from political processes. This can result in decisions that differ from those made by farmers in areas ... -
Seaweed and Seaweed Bioactives for Mitigation of Enteric Methane: Challenges and Opportunities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-12-18)The need to become more efficient in agriculture and the food industry exists parallel to the challenge of climate change. Meat and dairy production is the target of much scrutiny due to methane (CH4) emissions and global ... -
Effects of hair coat characteristics on radiant surface temperature in horses
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-11-29)Horse owners may lack knowledge about natural thermoregulation mechanisms in horses. Horses are managed intensively; usually stabled at night and turned out during the day. Some are clipped and many wear a blanket, practices ...
