Moose in our neighborhood: Does perceived hunting risk have cascading effects on tree performance in vicinity of roads and houses?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-04-03)Like large carnivores, hunters both kill and scare ungulates, and thus might indirectly affect plant performance through trophic cascades. In this study, we hypothesized that intensive hunting and enduring fear of humans ... -
Forage availability, supplementary feed and ungulate density: Associations with ungulate damage in pine production forests
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-04-05)Populations of large herbivores, including members of the deer family Cervidae, are expanding across and within many regions of the northern hemisphere. Because their browsing on trees can result in economic losses to ... -
Managing existing forests can mitigate climate change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-04-06)Planting new forests has received scientific and political attention as a measure to mitigate climate change. Large, new forests have been planted in places like China and Ethiopia and, over time, a billion hectares could ... -
Stand-level growth models for long-term projections of the main species groups in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-04-07)Stand-level growth and yield models are important tools that support forest managers and policymakers. We used recent data from the Norwegian National Forest Inventory to develop stand-level models, with components for ... -
Democratizing education: Open schooling engaged the less privileged in environmental sciences
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-04-08)Democratizing learning is essential for environmental sustainability. Less privileged areas are crucial in this regard. Informal education has great such potential, but often fails to reach the less privileged, and to ... -
Reconstructing past fossil-fuel CO2 concentrations using tree rings and radiocarbon in the urban area of Medellín, Colombia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-04-25)To meet international and national commitments to decrease emissions of fossil fuels, cities around the world must obtain information on their historical levels of emissions, identifying hotspots that require special ... -

Performance in early tests, short-term trials and field trials of selected families of Norway spruce from Svenneby Seed Orchard
(NIBIO-rapport;8(87) 2022, Research report, 2022-05)Norway spruce parents selected from results in progeny trials for testing Svenneby Seed Orchard clones were crossed in a factorial crossing design, and full-sib families were planted in short-term and field trials in ... -
Review of the use of solid wood as an external cladding material in the built environment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-05-06)Timber cladding has been used since historical times as a locally available, affordable weather protection option. Nowadays, interest in timber cladding is again increasing because of ecological reasons as well as naturalistic ... -
Evaluation of two new-generation global soil databases for macro-scale hydrological modelling in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-05-07)Lack of national soil property maps limits the studies of soil moisture (SM) dynamics in Norway. One alternative is to apply the global soil data as input for macro-scale hydrological modelling, but the quality of these ... -
