Carnivore Management Zones and their Impact on Sheep Farming in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-17)We investigated the impact of Norway’s current zonal carnivore management system for four large carnivore species on sheep farming. Sheep losses increased when the large carnivores were reintroduced, but has declined again ... -
Cell wall changes during brown rot degradation of furfurylated and acetylated wood
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05-30)This study explores cell wall changes in Radiata pine (Pinus radiata) after modification with acetylation or furfurylation and subsequent prolonged subjection to the brown rot fungus R. placenta with the aim of better ... -
A century of National Forest Inventory in Norway – informing past, present, and future decisions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-07-17)Past: In the early twentieth century, forestry was one of the most important sectors in Norway and an agitated discussion about the perceived decline of forest resources due to over-exploitation was ongoing. To base the ... -
A chlorophyll-deficient, highly reflective soybean mutant: radiative forcing and yield gaps
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-06-22)Sunlight absorbed at the Earth’s surface is re-emitted as longwave radiation. Increasing atmospheric concentrations of CO2 and other greenhouse gases trap an increasing fraction of such heat, leading to global climate ... -
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 targets in European timber-producing countries conflict with goals on forest ecosystem services and biodiversity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-04-14)The European Union (EU) set clear climate change mitigation targets to reach climate neutrality, accounting for forests and their woody biomass resources. We investigated the consequences of increased harvest demands ... -
A Cloud-Free Approach to Modeling Daily Downwelling Longwave Irradiance at Global Scale
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-06-27)Parametric modeling of downwelling longwave irradiance under all-sky conditions (LW↓) typically involves “correcting” a clear- (or non-overcast) sky model estimate using solar-irradiance-based proxies of cloud cover in ... -
CNash - A novel parameter predicting cake solids of dewatered digestates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-23)Efficient digestate dewatering is crucial to reduce the volume and transportation cost of solid residues from anaerobic digestion (AD) plants. Large variations in dewatered cake solids have been reported and predictive ... -
CO2-equivalence metrics for surface albedo change based on the radiative forcing concept: a critical review
(Journal article, 2021-07-01)Management of Earth’s surface albedo is increasingly viewed as an important climate change mitigation strategy both on (Seneviratne et al., 2018) and off (Field et al., 2018; Kravitz et al., 2018) the land. Assessing the ... -
Combining MODIS and National Land Resource Products to Model Land Cover-Dependent Surface Albedo for Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-10)Surface albedo is an important physical attribute of the climate system and satellite retrievals are useful for understanding how it varies in time and space. Surface albedo is sensitive to land cover and structure, which ... -
A common Nordic-Baltic costing framework for road, rail and sea transport of roundwood
(NIBIO-rapport;7(8) 2021, Research report, 2021-01)Transport cost calculations are fundamental for most types of transport research. Applications can range from estimating the cost benefits of developing transport technologies (e.g. increased truck GVWs) to comparing ... -
A Comparative Analysis of Five Forest Certification Programs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-08-08)International expansion of forest certification programs has occurred over the last three decades. Both public and private organizations have shown increased interest in becoming certified by one or more forest certification ... -
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 estimators of variance for forest inventories with systematic sampling - results from artificial populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-03-23)Background: Large area forest inventories often use regular grids (with a single random start) of sample locations to ensure a uniform sampling intensity across the space of the surveyed populations. A design-unbiased ... -
The complete chloroplast genome of Malva wigandii (Alef.) M.F. Ray (Malvaceae, Malvoideae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-03-24)The complete chloroplast genome sequence of wild sea mallow Malva wigandii (=Lavatera maritima) was determined and characterized in this study. The genome is 158,162 bp long, containing a pair of inverted repeats regions ... -
Complete seasonal surveillance of Greylag Goose (Anser anser) foraging behavior on dairy grassland and the effect of limited lethal scaring
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-05-09)In northern Norway, an increasing population of Greylag Geese (Anser anser) forages considerably on dairy grassland and can eat up to 60% of the grass (dry matter mass) on a field if allowed to eat undisturbed throughout ... -
