Quantifying the drivers of the increasing colored organic matter in boreal surface waters
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-03-23)Long-term monitoring of surface water quality has shown increasing concentrations of colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) across large parts of the northern latitudes. This has increased purification costs for domestic ... -
Quantitative and qualitative workload assessment in steep terrain forest operations: fostering a safer work environment through yarder automation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-09-27)Many forestry roles have changed from being manual tasks with a high physical workload to being a machine operator task with a high mental workload. Automation can support a decrease in mental fatigue by removing tasks ... -
Quantitative assessment of observed versus predicted responses to selection
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-06-17)Although artificial-selection experiments seem well suited to testing our ability to predict evolution, the correspondence between predicted and observed responses is often ambiguous due to the lack of uncertainty estimates. ... -
Quantitative trait loci associated with different polar metabolites in perennial ryegrass - providing scope for breeding towards increasing certain polar metabolites
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-10-10)Background Recent advances in the mapping of biochemical traits have been reported in Lolium perenne. Although the mapped traits, including individual sugars and fatty acids, contribute greatly towards ruminant productivity, ... -
Radiative forcing bias of simulated surface albedo modifications linked to forest cover changes at northern latitudes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-04-15) -
Radical Scavenging and Antimicrobial Properties of Polyphenol Rich Waste Wood Extracts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-03-10)The main focus of this study is to assess radical scavenging and antimicrobial activities of the 11 wood extracts: oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl., Q. robur L., and Q. cerris L.), mulberry (Morus alba L.), myrobalan ... -
Rahnella spp. are commonly isolated from onion (Allium cepa) bulbs and are weakly pathogenic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Aims Bacterial decays of onion bulbs have serious economic consequences for growers, but the aetiologies of these diseases are often unclear. We aimed to determine the role of Rahnella, which we commonly isolated from bulbs ... -
Raman micro-spectroscopy of two types of acetylated Norway spruce wood at controlled relative humidity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-09-06)Water is a key element for wood performance, as water molecules interact with the wood structure and affect important material characteristics such as mechanical properties and durability. Understanding wood-water interactions ... -
Range expansion of the small spruce bark beetle Ips amitinus: a newcomer in northern Europe
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)1 Ips amitinus arrived in Northern Europe at the beginning of 1900s, although its recent expansions to the northernmost conifers have been rapid. 2 Analyses of recent records, MaxEnt models and regional population size ... -
Range-wide whole-genome resequencing of the brown bear reveals drivers of intraspecies divergence
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-02-06)Population-genomic studies can shed new light on the effect of past demographic processes on contemporary population structure. We reassessed phylogeographical patterns of a classic model species of postglacial recolonisation, ... -
Rangeland Grazing Strategies to Lower the Dependency on Imported Concentrates in Norwegian Sheep Meat Production
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-07-01)Norway has vast rangeland resources (292,361 km2) with an estimated carrying capacity of nearly four million sheep and lambs, twice the current number. However, the intensive production system currently applied has led to ... -
Rapid and accurate determination of protein content in North Atlantic seaweed by NIR and FTIR spectroscopies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-10-21)Seaweed is considered a potentially sustainable source of protein for human consumption, and rapid, accurate methods for determining seaweed protein contents are needed. Seaweeds contain substances which interfere with ... -
Rapid photosynthetic recovery of a snow-covered feather moss and Peltigera lichen during sub-Arctic midwinter warming
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-03-06)Background: Arctic lichens and mosses are covered by snow for more than half the year and are generally considered as being dormant for most of this period. However, enhanced frequency of winter warming events due to climate ... -
A re-analysis of NH4+ sorption on biochar: Have expectations been too high?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-04-22)Sorption of nutrients such as NH4+ is often quoted as a critical property of biochar, explaining its value as a soil amendment and a filter material. However, published values for NH4+ sorption to biochar vary by more than ... -
Re-evaluation of the genus Englerodendron (Leguminosae–Detarioideae), including Isomacrolobium and Pseudomacrolobium
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-10-11)On the basis of a new phylogeny of the Detarioideae, with a particular focus on Englerodendron Harms, Anthonotha P.Beauv. and related genera, the possible options for delimiting monophyletic genera are discussed. As a ... -

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 ... -
Recent strengthening of snow and ice albedo feedback driven by Antarctic sea-ice loss
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-10-28)The decline of the Arctic cryosphere during recent decades has lowered the region’s surface albedo, reducing its ability to reflect solar radiation back to space. It is not clear what role the Antarctic cryosphere plays ... -
