A Semi-Autonomous Multi-Vehicle Architecture for Agricultural Applications
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-08-22)The ageing population, climate change, and labour shortages in the agricultural sector are driving the need to reevaluate current farming practices. To address these challenges, the deployment of robot systems can help ... -
Semi-natural habitats in boreal europe: A rise of a social-ecological research agenda
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The European continent contains substantial areas of semi-natural habitats, mostly grasslands, which are among the most endangered habitats in Europe. Their continued existence depends on some form of human activity, for ... -
Semiochemicals and habitat manipulation to support green lacewing activity to reduce aphid infestations in agroecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-03)Conservation biological control (CBC) is a promising tool for ecological intensification that aims to establish resilient natural enemy populations that contribute to pest management with reduced use of pesticides and at ... -
Sensitivity analysis and Bayesian calibration for testing robustness of the BASGRA model in different environments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-09-10)Proper parameterisation and quantification of model uncertainty are two essential tasks in improvement and assessment of model performance. Bayesian calibration is a method that combines both tasks by quantifying probability ... -
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 ... -
Sensory and instrumental analysis of eight genotypes of red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) fruits
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-22)BACKGROUND:There is a search for raspberry cultivars with high sensory quality. The best way to determine sensory quality is by descriptive analysis. To perform sensory analysis by a trained panel is, however, not always ... -
Septoria nodorum blotch of wheat: disease management and resistance breeding in the face of shifting disease dynamics and a changing environment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-11-27)The fungus Parastagonospora nodorum is a narrow host range necrotrophic fungal pathogen that causes Septoria nodorum blotch (SNB) of cereals, most notably wheat. Although commonly observed on wheat seedlings, P. nodorum ... -
Setting reference levels and limits for good ecological condition in terrestrial ecosystems – Insights from a case study based on the IBECA approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-05-16)Effective evidence-based nature conservation and habitat management relies on developing and refining our methodological toolbox for detecting critical ecological changes at an early stage. This requires not only optimizing ... -
Sex-specific differences in spring and autumn migration in a northern large herbivore
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-16)Ongoing global warming is now affecting migratory cycles in a large variety of taxa in seasonally variable environments. Disruption of migratory systems can cause population decline and affect ecosystem function across the ... -
Sex-specific genetic analysis indicates low correlation between demographic and genetic connectivity in the Scandinavian brown bear (Ursus arctos)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-07-03)The degree of gene flow within and among populations, i.e. genetic population connectivity, may closely track demographic population connectivity. Alternatively, the rate of gene flow may change relative to the rate of ... -
Shared Socio-economic Pathways for European agriculture and food systems: The Eur-Agri-SSPs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09-19)Scenarios describe plausible and internally consistent views of the future. They can be used by scientists, policymakers and entrepreneurs to explore the challenges of global environmental change given an appropriate level ... -
Shelf life of sweet cherries in different packages after 0 and 3 weeks of CA-storage
(Chapter, 2019)The positive effect of low oxygen and high CO2 for sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) storability is well-known. In the present experiment, a combination of controlled atmosphere (CA; 2°C, 5% O2 and 15% CO2) storage and modified ... -
Shift in tree species changes the belowground biota of boreal forests
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-03-20)The replacement of native birch with Norway spruce has been initiated in Norway to increase long-term carbon storage in forests. However, there is limited knowledge on the impacts that aboveground changes will have on the ... -
Short-term effects of compost amendments to soil on soil structure, hydraulic properties, and water regime
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02-12)Despite the increasing interest in applying composts as soil amendments worldwide, there is a lack of knowledge on short-term effects of compost amendments on soil structural and hydraulic properties. Our goal was to study ... -
Short-term effects of hardened wood ash and nitrogen fertilisation on understory vegetation in a Norway spruce forest in south-east Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-07-26)In a fertiliser experiment in a Norway spruce forest in SE Norway, four treatments were applied in a block design with three replicates per treatment. Treatments included 3 t wood ash ha−1 (Ash), 150 kg nitrogen ha−1 (N), ... -
