(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-08-16)River otters (Lontra canadensis) are apex predators that bioaccumulate contaminants via their diet, potentially serving as biomonitors of watershed health. They reside throughout the Green-Duwamish River, WA (USA), a ... -
A highly-contiguous genome assembly of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus, provides insight into a major forest pest
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-09-09)Conifer-feeding bark beetles are important herbivores and decomposers in forest ecosystems. These species complete their life cycle in nutritionally poor substrates and some can kill enormous numbers of trees during ... -
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 ... -
Home Gardening and Food Security Concerns during the COVID-19 Pandemic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-08-27)At times of crisis, home gardening has often been sought out as a potential solution for threats to food security and as a measure to increase socio-psychological effects, such as public sense of self-efficacy, trust in ... -
Honey bees and climate explain viral prevalence in wild bee communities on a continental scale
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02-03)Viruses are omnipresent, yet the knowledge on drivers of viral prevalence in wild host populations is often limited. Biotic factors, such as sympatric managed host species, as well as abiotic factors, such as climatic ... -
Horizon scanning to assess the bioclimatic potential for the alien species Spodoptera eridania and its parasitoids after pest detection in West and Central Africa
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05-14)BACKGROUND The southern armyworm (SAW) Spodoptera eridania (Stoll) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is native to the tropical Americas where the pest can feed on more than 100 plant species. SAW was recently detected in West and ... -
Host−Pathogen Interactions in Leaf Petioles of Common Ash and Manchurian Ash Infected with Hymenoscyphus fraxineus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02-05)Some common ash trees (Fraxinus excelsior) show tolerance towards shoot dieback caused by the invasive ascomycete Hymenoscyphus fraxineus. Leaf petioles are considered to serve as a pathogen colonization route to the shoots. ... -
Hot water and cutting for control of Impatiens glandulifera
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-03-31)Ornamental jewelweed (Impatiens glandulifera Royle) is an alien invasive plant in Europe. This annual plant often grows in riparian habitats where herbicides are prohibited. Several studies have reported the negative effect ... -
How biochar works, and when it doesn't: A review of mechanisms controlling soil and plant responses to biochar
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-07-27)We synthesized 20 years of research to explain the interrelated processes that determine soil and plant responses to biochar. The properties of biochar and its effects within agricultural ecosystems largely depend on ... -
How do farm models compare when estimating greenhouse gas emissions from dairy cattle production?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-09)The European Union Effort Sharing Regulation (ESR) will require a 30% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 compared with 2005 from the sectors not included in the European Emissions Trading Scheme, including ... -
How much water can wood cell walls hold? A triangulation approach to determine the maximum cell wall moisture content
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-08-31)Wood is a porous, hygroscopic material with engineering properties that depend significantly on the amount of water (moisture) in the material. Water in wood can be present in both cell walls and the porous void-structure ... -
How to measure, report and verify soil carbon change to realize the potential of soil carbon sequestration for atmospheric greenhouse gas removal
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)There is growing international interest in better managing soils to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) content to contribute to climate change mitigation, to enhance resilience to climate change and to underpin food security, ... -
How to successfully change an organization: management perceptions and practices
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-01)Organizational development, change and adaptation are complex and challenging tasks that have been widely studied and debated, spanning from general change models and theories on organizational change, to change management ... -
How wood fuels' quality relates to the standards: A class-modelling approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-09-21)The quality requirements of wood biofuels are regulated by a series of harmonized international standards. These standards define the technical parameter limits that influence the quality of solid biomass as a fuel. In ... -
HT-2 and T-2 toxins in Norwegian oat grains related to weather conditions at different growth stages
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-08)High concentrations of the mycotoxins HT-2 and T-2 (HT2 + T2), primarily produced by Fusarium langsethiae, have occasionally been detected in Norwegian oat grains. In this study, we identified weather variables influencing ... -
Humus-rich topsoils in SW Norway – Molecular and isotopic signatures of soil organic matter as indicators for anthropo-pedogenesis
