Predicting Aggregate Degradation in Forest Roads in Northwest Oregon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-07-03)In the Pacific Northwest, forest roads have the potential to cause significant environmental degradation, especially to water resources due to increased sediment production. The goal of this research is to improve the ... -
Predicting delay factors when chipping wood at forest roadside landings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-15)Chipping of bulky biomass assortments at roadside landings is a common and costly step in the biomass-to-energy supply chain. This operation normally involves one chipping unit and one or several transport trucks working ... -
Predicting field N2O emissions from crop residues based on their biochemical composition: A meta-analytical approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-12-27)Crop residue incorporation is a common practice to increase or restore organic matter stocks in agricultural soils. However, this practice often increases emissions of the powerful greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). ... -
Prediction and model-assisted estimation of diameter distributions using Norwegian national forest inventory and airborne laser scanning data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-04-07)Diameter at breast height (DBH) distributions offer valuable information for operational and strategic forest management decisions. We predicted DBH distributions using Norwegian national forest inventory and airborne laser ... -
Prediction of available phosphorus in soil: Combined use for crop production and water quality protection
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-10-02)Optimizing phosphorus (P) application to agricultural soils is fundamental to crop production and water quality protection. We sought to relate soil P tests and P sorption characteristics to both crop yield response to P ... -
Prediction of butt rot volume in Norway spruce forest stands using harvester, remotely sensed and environmental data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-12-25)Butt rot (BR) damage of a tree results from a decay caused by a pathogenic fungus. BR damages associated with Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) account for considerable economic losses in timber production across the ... -
Prediction of enteric methane emissions by sheep using an intercontinental database
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-12-15)Enteric methane (CH4) emissions from sheep contribute to global greenhouse gas emissions from livestock. However, as already available for dairy and beef cattle, empirical models are needed to predict CH4 emissions from ... -
Prediction of forest canopy fuel parameters in managed boreal forests using multispectral and unispectral airborne laser scanning data and aerial images
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09-08)This study evaluated the suitability of different airborne laser scanning (ALS) datasets for the prediction of forest canopy fuel parameters in managed boreal forests in Finland. The ALS data alternatives were leaf-off and ... -
Prediction of leaf Bloch disease risk in Norwegian spring wheat based on weather factors and host phenology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-02-17)Leaf blotch diseases (LBD), such as Septoria nodorum bloch (Parastagnospora nodorum), Septoria tritici blotch (Zymoseptoria tritici) and Tan spot (Pyrenophora tritici-repentis) can cause severe yield losses (up to 50%) in ... -
Prediction of Sporulation and Germination by the Spider Mite Pathogenic Fungus Neozygites floridana (Neozygitomycetes: Neozygitales: Neozygitaceae) Based on Temperature, Humidity and Time
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-19)Neozygites floridana is a pathogenic fungus and natural enemy of the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae), which is an important polyphagous plant pest. The aim of this study was to reveal ... -
Preharvest application with calcium and maturity at harvest affects postharvest fungal fruit decay of European plum
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-02-09)The combination of preharvest treatments with calcium chloride and fungicides, and storage of maturity graded fruit were assessed in five European plum cultivars. At harvest, samples of fruit within a commercially suitable ... -
Prevalence and parasite load of nematodes and trematodes in an invasive slug and its susceptibility to a slug parasitic nematode compared to native gastropods
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-04-09)The invasive slug Arion vulgaris (Gastropoda: Arionidae) is an agricultural pest and serious nuisance in gardens of Central and Northern Europe. To investigate if the success of A.vulgaris in Norway can be attributed to a ... -
Primary Succession of Surface Active Beetles and Spiders in an Alpine Glacier Foreland, Central South Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Spiders and beetles were pitfall-trapped in the foreland of the receding Hardangerjøkulen glacier in central south Norway. At each of six sampling sites, ages 3 to 205 years, twenty traps covered the local variation in ... -
Priming of inducible defenses protects Norway spruce against tree-killing bark beetles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-11-01)Plants can form an immunological memory known as defense priming, whereby exposure to a priming stimulus enables quicker or stronger response to subsequent attack by pests and pathogens. Such priming of inducible defenses ... -
