• A carbon balance of Norway: terrestrial and aquatic carbon fluxes 

      de Wit, Heleen; Austnes, Kari; Hylen, Gro; Dalsgaard, Lise (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-07)
      Northernlandscapes accumulate carbon in vegetation and soils while rivers transport significant amounts of land-derived carbon to coastal areas. Here, we quantify carbon sources and sinks in main ecosystems (forests, ...
    • Boreal tree species change as a climate mitigation strategy: impact on ecosystem C and N stocks and soil nutrient levels 

      Kjønaas, O. Janne; Barcena, Teresa G.; Hylen, Gro; Nordbakken, Jørn-Frode; Økland, Tonje (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-11-24)
      To increase the annual uptake of CO2 as well as the long-term storage of carbon (C) in forests, the Norwegian government consider large-scale replacements of native, deciduous forests with faster-growing species like Norway ...
    • A century of National Forest Inventory in Norway – informing past, present, and future decisions 

      Breidenbach, Johannes; Granhus, Aksel; Hylen, Gro; Eriksen, Rune; Astrup, Rasmus Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-07-17)
      Past: In the early twentieth century, forestry was one of the most important sectors in Norway and an agitated discussion about the perceived decline of forest resources due to over-exploitation was ongoing. To base the ...
    • Emerging stability of forest productivity by mixing two species buffers temperature destabilizing effect 

      del Río, Miren; Pretzsch, Hans; Ruiz-Peinado, Ricardo; Jactel, Hervé; Coll, Lluis; Löf, Magnus; Aldea, Jorge; Ammer, Christian; Avdagić, Admir; Barbeito, Ignacio; Bielak, Kamil; Bravo, Felipe; Brazaitis, Gediminas; Cerny, Jakub; Collet, Catherine; Condés, Sonia; Drössler, Lars; Fabrika, Marek; Heym, Michael; Holm, Stig-Olof; Hylen, Gro; Jansons, Aris; Kurylyak, Viktor; Lombardi, Fabio; Matović, Bratislav; Metslaid, Marek; Motta, Renzo; Nord-Larsen, Thomas; Nothdurft, Arne; den Ouden, Jan; Pach, Maciej; Pardos, Marta; Poeydebat, Charlotte; Ponette, Quentin; Perot, Thomas; Reventlow, Ditlev Otto Juel; Sitko, Roman; Sramek, Vit; Steckel, Mathias; Svoboda, Miroslav; Verheyen, Kris; Vospernik, Sonja; Wolff, Barbara; Zlatanov, Tzvetan; Bravo-Oviedo, Andrés (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-08-06)
      The increasing disturbances in monocultures around the world are testimony to their instability under global change. Many studies have claimed that temporal stability of productivity increases with species richness, although ...
    • Germination and seedling establishment of Norway spruce (Picea abies) after clear-cutting is affected by timing of soil scarification 

      Fløistad, Inger; Hylen, Gro; Hanssen, Kjersti Holt; Granhus, Aksel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-25)
      Natural regeneration of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) is a relatively common practice in Norway on medium to low site indices. However, seedling establishment is often hampered by rapid regrowth of competing ...
    • Timing and duration of drought modulate tree growth response in pure and mixed stands of Scots pine and Norway spruce 

      Aldea, Jorge; Ruiz-Peinado, Ricardo; del Río, Miren; Pretzsch, Hans; Heym, Michael; Brazaitis, Gediminas; Jansons, Aris; Metslaid, Marek; Barbeito, Ignacio; Bielak, Kamil; Hylen, Gro; Holm, Stig-Olof; Nothdurft, Arne; Sitko, Roman; Löf, Magnus (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-08-08)
      1. Climate change is increasing the severity and frequency of droughts around the globe, leading to tree mortality that reduces production and provision of other ecosystem services. Recent studies show that growth of mixed ...
    • With increasing site quality asymmetric competition and mortality reduces Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stand structuring across Europe 

      Pretzsch, Hans; Bravo-Oviedo, Andrés; Hilmers, Torben; Ruiz-Peinado, Ricardo; Coll, Lluis; Löf, Magnus; Ahmed, Shamim; Aldea, Jorge; Ammer, Christian; Avdagić, Admir; Barbeito, Ignacio; Bielak, Kamil; Bravo, Felipe; Brazaitis, Gediminas; Cerný, Jakub; Collet, Catherine; Drössler, Lars; Fabrika, Marek; Heym, Michael; Holm, Stig-Olof; Hylen, Gro; Jansons, Aris; Kurylyak, Viktor; Lombardi, Fabio; Matović, Bratislav; Metslaid, Marek; Motta, Renzo; Nord-Larsen, Thomas; Nothdurft, Arne; Ordóñez, Cristóbal; den Ouden, Jan; Pach, Maciej; Pardos, Marta; Ponette, Quentin; Pérot, Tomas; Reventlow, Ditlev Otto Juel; Sitko, Roman; Sramek, Vit; Steckel, Mathias; Svoboda, Miroslav; Uhl, Enno; Verheyen, Kris; Vospernik, Sonja; Wolff, Barbara; Zlatanov, Tzvetan; del Río, Miren (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-06-21)
      Heterogeneity of structure can increase mechanical stability, stress resistance and resilience, biodiversity and many other functions and services of forest stands. That is why many silvicultural measures aim at enhancing ...
