Applying Typology Analyses to Management Issues: Deer Harvest and Declining Hunter Numbers
Andersen, Oddgeir; Wam, Hilde K; Mysterud, Atle; Kaltenborn, Bjørn Petter (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-09)In both North America and Europe, deer populations are increasing and hunter participation is decreasing. This generates concern for our future ability to control deer populations. Information on hunter typologies can help ... -
Associational relationships at multiple spatial scales affect forest damage by moose
Herfindal, Ivar; Tremblay, Jean-Pierre; Hester, Alison J.; Lande, Unni Støbet; Wam, Hilde K (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-07-15)Increasing abundance of large herbivores combined with changes in forestry practices has led to increased forest damage in many temperate and boreal forest areas. The role of alternative forage as a driver for browsing ... -
Contrasting impact of whole-tree-harvesting on chemical quality of plant foliage in coastal versus inland forest
Fjære, Sigmund; Clarke, Nicholas; Nybakken, Line; Wam, Hilde K (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-09)Whole-tree-harvesting (WTH) is gaining support as a means to obtain more bioenergy from forests. One aspect that is scarcely addressed is its impact on the chemical quality of post-harvest plant growth, which may initiate ... -
Forest pasturing of livestock in Norway: effects on spruce regeneration
Hjeljord, Olav; Histøl, Trond; Wam, Hilde K (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-05-07)Forest pasturing of free-roaming livestock is a common practice in many parts of the world, but knowledge on how it affects tree regeneration in boreal forests is lacking. We mapped tree density, livestock site use and ... -
Varied diets, including broadleaved forage, are important for a large herbivore species inhabiting highly modified landscapes
Felton, Annika M.; Holmström, Emma; Malmsten, Jonas; Felton, Adam; Cromsigt, Joris P.G.M.; Edenius, Lars; Ericsson, Göran; Widemo, Fredrik; Wam, Hilde K (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-02-05)Diet quality is an important determinant of animal survival and reproduction, and can be described as the combination of different food items ingested, and their nutritional composition. For large herbivores, human landscape ... -
Wild boar rooting in a northern coniferous forest - minor silviculture impact
Haaverstad, Olav; Hjeljord, Olav; Wam, Hilde K (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-12-05)European wild boar (Sus scrofa) is expanding northwards beyond its preferred habitat of broadleaved forests. We studied wild boar habitat use in a northern coniferous forest, and noted whether their rooting damaged roots, ...
