Optimization of Water-Energy-Food Nexus considering CO2 emissions from cropland: A case study in northwest Iran
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-12-13)Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus and CO2 emissions for a farm in northwest Iran were analyzed to provide data support for decision-makers formulating national strategies in response to climate change. In the analysis, ... -
Orchard Planting Density and Tree Development Stage Affects Physiological Processes of Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) Tree
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-12-04)One of the most important factors affecting photosynthesis and metabolism is light absorbance by leaves and penetration through the canopy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of planting density and tree ... -
ORCHIDEE-PEAT (revision 4596), a model for northern peatland CO2, water, and energy fluxes on daily to annual scales
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-02-05)Peatlands store substantial amounts of carbon and are vulnerable to climate change. We present a modified version of the Organising Carbon and Hydrology In Dynamic Ecosystems (ORCHIDEE) land surface model for simulating ... -
Organic Waste-Based Fertilizer in Hydroponics Increases Tomato Fruit Size but Reduces Fruit Quality
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-06-23)In regions with intensive agricultural production, large amounts of organic waste are produced by livestock animals. Liquid digestate from manure-based biogas production could potentially serve as fertilizer if integrated ... -
The origin of the Legumes is a complex paleopolyploid phylogenomic tangle closely associated with the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) mass extinction event
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-08-31)The consequences of the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary (KPB) mass extinction for the evolution of plant diversity remain poorly understood, even though evolutionary turnover of plant lineages at the KPB is central ... -
An Overview of Microbial Source Tracking Using Host-Specific Genetic Markers to Identify Origins of Fecal Contamination in Different Water Environments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-06-04)Fecal contamination of water constitutes a serious health risk to humans and environmental ecosystems. This is mainly due to the fact that fecal material carries a variety of enteropathogens, which can enter and circulate ... -
Oxalate found in wood cell wall during incipient brown rot degradation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-11-21)Brown rot fungi are a marvel and an enigma of Nature. They are capable of depolymerizing holocellulose within wood cell walls without significantly ineralizing lignin. The exact details behind this feat remain unknown, but ... -
Parallel Microbial Ecology of Pasteuria and Nematode Species in Scottish Soils
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-01-28)Pasteuria spp. are endospore forming bacteria which act as natural antagonists to many of the most economically significant plant parasitic nematodes (PPNs). Highly species-specific nematode suppression may be observed in ... -
A parametric analysis of eco-efficiency and its determinants: Evidence from Norwegian dairy farms
(Peer reviewed, 2023-07-25)This study aims to estimate eco-efficiency scores and identify determinants of Norwegian dairy farms using a parametric approach that accounts for methane emissions. The study incorporates an environmental output measure ... -
Parasitoids indicate major climate-induced shifts in arctic communities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09-11)Climatic impacts are especially pronounced in the Arctic, which as a region is warming twice as fast as the rest of the globe. Here, we investigate how mean climatic conditions and rates of climatic change impact parasitoid ... -
Pathogenicity, host specificity and genetic diversity in Norwegian isolates of Microdochium nivale and Microdochium majus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-01-31)Microdochium majus and Microdochium nivale cause serious disease problems in grasses and cereal crops in the temperate regions. Both fungi can infect the plants during winter (causing pink snow mould) as well as under cool ... -
Patterns and roles of lignan and terpenoid accumulation in the reaction zone compartmentalizing pathogen-infected heartwood of Norway spruce
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02-10)Tree defense against xylem pathogens involves both constitutive and induced phenylpropanoids and terpenoids. The induced defenses include compartmentalization of compromised wood with a reaction zone (RZ) characterized by ... -
Patterns of Carbon Sequestration in a Young Forest Ecosystem after Clear-Cutting
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-01-21)A large area of Estonian hemiboreal forest is recovering from clear-cut harvesting and changing carbon (C) balance of the stands. However, there is a lack of information about C- source/sink relationships during recovery ... -
Patterns of Microbiome Variation Among Infrapopulations of Permanent Bloodsucking Parasites
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-04-16)While interspecific variation in microbiome composition can often be readily explained by factors such as host species identity, there is still limited knowledge of how microbiomes vary at scales lower than the species ... -
Pedotransfer functions in Earth system science: challenges and perspectives
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-14)Soil, through its various functions, plays a vital role in the Earth’s ecosystems and provides multiple ecosystem services to humanity. Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) are simple to complex knowledge rules that relate available ... -
Perceived effects of climate policy on rural areas and agriculture: A rural-urban divide
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-04-03)Climate policies may have adverse geographically unequal socio-economic impacts that, if left unaddressed, may hamper their implementation. This paper examines factors explaining rural-urban perceptions of the effects of ... -
