Biochar persistence, priming and microbial responses to pyrolysis temperature series
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Biochar and its properties can be significantly altered according to how it is produced, and this has ramifications towards how biochar behaves once added to soil. We produced biochars from corncob and miscanthus straw via ... -
Applying profile- and catchment-based mathematical models for evaluating the run-off from a Nordic catchment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Knowledge of hydrological processes and water balance elements are important for climate adaptive water management as well as for introducing mitigation measures aiming to improve surface water quality. Mathematical models ... -
Diagnosing the dynamics of observed and simulated ecosystem Gross Primary Productivity with time causal Information Theory quantifiers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Data analysis and model-data comparisons in the environmental sciences require diagnostic measures that quantify time series dynamics and structure, and are robust to noise in observational data. This paper investigates ... -
Multifaceted impacts of sustainable land management in drylands: A review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Biophysical restoration or rehabilitation measures of land have demonstrated to be effective in many scientific projects and small-scale environmental experiments. However circumstances such as poverty, weak policies, or ... -
TERMINAL FLOWER1 is a breeding target for a noveleverbearing trait and tailored flowering responses incultivated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.)
(Journal article, 2016)The effects of daylength and temperature on flowering of the cultivated octoploid strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) have been studied extensively at the physiological level, but information on the molecular pathways ... -
Mapping and estimating the total living biomass and carbon in low-biomass woodlands using Landsat 8 CDR data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016) -
Eutropia: Integrated Valuation of Lake Eutrophication Abatement Decisions Using a Bayesian Belief Network
(Chapter, 2016)The term “integrated valuation” is defined and its relevance is discussed in terms of bridging the gap between cost-effectiveness analysis and economic valuation in the implementation of the European Union Water Framework ... -
Contrasting emergence of Lyme disease across ecosystems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Global environmental changes are causing Lyme disease to emerge in Europe. The life cycle of Ixodes ricinus, the tick vector of Lyme disease, involves an ontogenetic niche shift, from the larval and nymphal stages utilizing ... -
Species trait selection along a prescribed fire chronosequence
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)1. Fire is a widespread management practice used in the maintenance of European heathland. Frequent prescribed burns in small patches have been shown to benefit carabid communities; however, how fire favours specific ... -
Low temperature treatment affects concentration and distribution of Chrysanthemum stunt viroid in Argyranthemum
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Chrysanthemum stunt viroid (CSVd) can infect Argyranthemum and cause serious economic loss. Low temperature treatment combined with meristem culture has been applied to eradicate viroids from their hosts, but without success ... -
Carbon castles and insect invaders: dissecting physical defences in conifer stems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016) -
Use of models in large-area forest surveys: comparing model-assisted, model-based and hybrid estimation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)This paper focuses on the use of models for increasing the precision of estimators in large-area forest surveys. It is motivated by the increasing availability of remotely sensed data, which facilitates the development of ... -
Climate change adaptation in vulnerable crop and livestock production systems in Mgeta, Tanzania
(Journal article, 2016)Increased occurrence of drought and dry spells during the growing season have resulted in increased interest in protection of tropical water catchment areas. In Mgeta, a water catchment area in the Uluguru Mountains in ... -
The cyanomorph of Ricasolia virens comb. nov. (Lobariaceae, lichenized Ascomycetes)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)The cyanomorph and photosymbiodemes are here reported for the first time for Ricasolia virens (With.) H.H. Blom & Tønsberg comb. nov. (≡ Lobaria virens (With.) J.R. Laundon). The cyanomorph of R. virens is dendriscocauloid. ... -
Effects of grazing previously abandoned grassland on performance in sheep
(Grassland Science in Europe;Volume 21, Peer reviewed; Chapter, 2016)Large areas of cultivated grasslands have been abandoned in Norway and are no longer used for production. Knowing that access to spring and autumn pastures is a limiting factor for sheep farmers, this study aims at testing ... -
Contrasting impact of whole-tree-harvesting on chemical quality of plant foliage in coastal versus inland forest
(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 ... -
Vernalization Requirement and the Chromosomal VRN1-Region can Affect Freezing Tolerance and Expression of Cold-Regulated Genes in Festuca pratensis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-25)Plants adapted to cold winters go through annual cycles of gain followed by loss of freezing tolerance (cold acclimation and deacclimation). Warm spells during winter and early spring can cause deacclimation, and if ... -
Furfurylated wood: impact on Postia placenta gene expression and oxalate crystal formation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-24)Modified wood can provide protection against a range of wood deteriorating organisms. Several hypotheses have been put forward regarding the protection mechanisms against wood decaying fungi including fungal enzyme ... -
