Catchment effects of a future Nordic bioeconomy: From land use to water resources
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09-14)In the future, the world is expected to rely increasingly on renewable biomass resources for food, fodder, fibre and fuel. The sustainability of this transition to bioeconomy for our water systems depends to a large extent ... -
Chafer grubs and leatherjackets on golf courses – integrated management in Scandinavia
(Research report, 2022)Chafer grubs and leatherjackets can cause severe damages to Scandinavian Golf Courses – mainly in the southern areas. Damages from chafer grubs are occasional, damages from leatherjackets tend to be increasing. Restrictions ... -
Challenges of Reducing Phosphorus Based Water Eutrophication in the Agricultural Landscapes of Northwest Europe
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-23)In this paper, we outline several recent insights for the priorities and challenges for future research for reducing phosphorus (P) based water eutrophication in the agricultural landscapes of Northwest Europe.We highlight ... -
Climate Change Alters Soil Water Dynamics under Different Land Use Types
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-03-25)Land use and management affect soil hydrological processes, and the impacts can be further enhanced and accelerated due to climate change. In this study, we analyzed the possible long-term effects of different land use ... -
Climate change drives substantial decline of understorey species richness and abundance in Norway spruce forests during 32 years of vegetation monitoring
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-05-31)Questions Observations in permanent forest vegetation plots in Norway and elsewhere indicate that complex changes have taken place over the period 1988–2020. These observations are summarised in the “climate-induced ... -
Climate change mitigation potential of biochar from forestry residues under boreal condition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-10-18)Forest harvest residue is a low-competitive biomass feedstock that is usually left to decay on site after forestry operations. Its removal and pyrolytic conversion to biochar is seen as an opportunity to reduce terrestrial ... -
Climate effects on land management and stream nitrogen concentrations in small agricultural catchments in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09-12)Land use and climate change can impact water quality in agricultural catchments. The objectives were to assess long-term monitoring data to quantify changes to the thermal growing season length, investigate farmer adaptations ... -
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
