• 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 ...
    • Effects of intensive biomass harvesting on forest soils in the Nordic countries and the UK: A meta-analysis 

      Clarke, Nicholas; Kiær, Lars Pødenphant; Kjønaas, O. Janne; Bárcena, Teresa G.; Vesterdal, Lars; Stupak, Inge; Finér, Leena; Jacobson, Staffan; Armolaitis, Kestutis; Lazdina, Dagnija; Stefánsdóttir, Helena Marta; Sigurdsson, Bjarni D. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-02-15)
      The use of biomass from forest harvesting residues or stumps for bioenergy has been increasing in the northern European region in the last decade. The present analysis is a regional review from Nordic and UK coniferous ...
    • Evaluating the terrestrial carbon dioxide removal potential of improved forest management and accelerated forest conversion in Norway 

      Bright, Ryan M.; Allen, Micky; Antón-Fernández, Clara; Belbo, Helmer; Dalsgaard, Lise; Eisner, Stephanie; Granhus, Aksel; Kjønaas, O. Janne; Søgaard, Gunnhild; Astrup, Rasmus Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-06-19)
      As a carbon dioxide removal measure, the Norwegian government is currently considering a policy of large-scale planting of spruce (Picea abies (L) H. Karst) on lands in various states of natural transition to a forest ...
    • The long-term fate of deposited nitrogen in temperate forest soils 

      Veerman, Liz; Kalbitz, Karsten; Gundersen, Per; Kjønaas, O. Janne; Moldan, Filip; Schleppi, Patrick; van Loon, Emiel E.; Schoorl, Jorien; Wessel, Wim; Tietema, Albert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-06-20)
      Increased anthropogenic nitrogen (N) inputs can alter the N cycle and affect forest ecosystem functions. The impact of increased N deposition depends among others on the ultimate fate of N in plant and soil N pools. ...
    • Shift in tree species changes the belowground biota of boreal forests 

      Mundra, Sunil; Kauserud, Håvard; Økland, Tonje; Nordbakken, Jørn-Frode; Ransedokken, Yngvild Eidissen; Kjønaas, O. Janne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-03-20)
      The replacement of native birch with Norway spruce has been initiated in Norway to increase long-term carbon storage in forests. However, there is limited knowledge on the impacts that aboveground changes will have on the ...
    • Soil depth matters: shift in composition and inter-kingdom co-occurrence patterns of microorganisms in forest soils 

      Mundra, Sunil; Kjønaas, O. Janne; Morgado, Luis; Krabberød, Anders Kristian; Ransedokken, Yngvild; Kauserud, Håvard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-02-06)
      Soil depth represents a strong physiochemical gradient that greatly affects soil-dwelling microorganisms. Fungal communities are typically structured by soil depth, but how other microorganisms are structured is less known. ...
