Climate mitigation and intensified forest management in Norway: To what extent are surface waters safeguarded?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09-12)While the role of forestry in mitigating climate change is increasingly subject to political commitment, other areas, such as water protection, may be at risk. In this study, we ask whether surface waters are sufficiently ... -
Climatic and soil factors explain the two-dimensional spectrum of global plant trait variation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-12-23)Plant functional traits can predict community assembly and ecosystem functioning and are thus widely used in global models of vegetation dynamics and land–climate feedbacks. Still, we lack a global understanding of how ... -
Closing global P cycles: The effect of dewatered fish sludge and manure solids as P fertiliser
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-09-09)The aim of this study was to contribute to closing global phosphorus (P) cycles by investigating and explaining the effect of fish sludge (feed residues and faeces of farmed fish) and manure solids as P fertiliser. Phosphorus ... -
Co-composting of digestate and garden waste with biochar: effect on greenhouse gas production and fertilizer value of the matured compost
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-06-22)Biogas digestate is a nitrogen (N) rich waste product that has potential for application to soil as a fertilizer. Composting of digestate is recognized as an effective step to reduce potentially negative consequences of ... -
Combined column test for characterization of leaching and transport of trace elements in contaminated soils
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-02-24)Environmental assessments are required prior to remediation and redevelopment of contaminated sites. To date, regulatory guidelines are commonly based on total concentrations. Occasionally, simple leaching procedures are ... -
Combining FDR and ERT for monitoring soil moisture and temperature patterns in undulating terrain in south-eastern Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02-21)The occurrence of freeze–thaw cycles modifies water infiltration processes and surface runoff generation. Related processes are complex and are not yet fully investigated at field scale. While local weather conditions and ... -
Coming up short: Identifying substrate and geographic biases in fungal sequence databases
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-22)Insufficient reference database coverage is a widely recognized limitation of molecular ecology ap-proaches which are reliant on database matches for assignment of function or identity. Here, we use datafrom 65 amplicon ... -
Comparing Combined 1D/2D and 2D Hydraulic Simulations Using High-Resolution Topographic Data: Examples from Sri Lanka—Lower Kelani River Basin
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02-17)The application of numerical models to understand the behavioural pattern of a flood is widely found in the literature. However, the selection of an appropriate hydraulic model is highly essential to conduct reliable ... -
Comparing in situ turbidity sensor measurements as a proxy for suspended sediments in North-Western European streams
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-02-24)Climate change in combination with land use alterations may lead to significant changes in soil erosion and sediment fluxes in streams. Optical turbidity sensors can monitor with high frequency and can be used as a proxy ... -
Comparing nutrient reference concentrations in Nordic countries with focus on lowland rivers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09-15)Reference conditions of water bodies are defined as the natural or minimal anthropogenically disturbed state. We compared the methods for determining total phosphorus and total nitrogen concentrations in rivers in Finland, ... -
Comparing sap flow calculations from Heat Field Deformation (HFD) and Linear Heat Balance (LHB) methods
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-06-15)Heat Field Deformation (HFD) is a widely used method to measure sap flow of trees based on empirical relationships between heat transfer within tree stems and the sap flow rates. As an alternative, the Linear Heat Balance ... -
Comparison of Calibration Approaches of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) Model in a Tropical Watershed
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-10-18)Hydrologic models are indispensable tools for water resource planning and management. Accurate model predictions are critical for better water resource development and management decisions. Single-site model calibration ... -
Comparison of grizzly bear hair-snag and scat sampling along roads to inform wildlife population monitoring
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09-16)Wildlife managers conduct population inventories to monitor species, particularly those at-risk. Although costly and time consuming, grid-based DNA hair-snag sampling has been the standard protocol for grizzly bear inventories ... -
Comparison of properties of biochar produced from different types of lignocellulosic biomass by slow pyrolysis at 600 °C
(Journal article, 2022-10-17)Production of biochar from corn cob and corn stalk has gained great interest for efficient waste management with benefits of improving soil properties, increasing crop productivity, and contributing to carbon sequestration. ... -
Comparison of Two Hydrological Models, HEC-HMS and SWAT in Runoff Estimation: Application to Huai Bang Sai Tropical Watershed, Thailand
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-08-04)In the present study, the streamflow simulation capacities between the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) and the Hydrologic Engineering Centre-Hydrologic Modelling System (HEC-HMS) were compared for the Huai Bang Sai ... -
Competition components along productivity gradients – revisiting a classic dispute in ecology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-06-04)Competition is ubiquitous in plant communities with various effects on plant fitness and community structure. A long-standing debate about different approaches to explain competition is the controversy between David Tilman ... -
