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 ... -
Hyperspectral imaging as a tool for profiling basidiomycete decay of Pinus sylvestris L.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-08-02)Given the right climatic and environmental conditions, a range of microorganisms can deteriorate wood. Decay by basidiomycete fungi accounts for significant volumes of wood in service that need to be replaced. In this ... -
Depth-to-water maps as predictors of rut severity in fully mechanized harvesting operations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-03-14)The preservation of the functionality of forest soil is a key aspect in planning mechanized harvesting operations. Therefore, knowledge and information about stand and soil characteristics are vital to the planning process. ... -
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 ... -
Plot size matters: Toward comparable species richness estimates across plot-based inventories
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-06-12)To understand the state and trends in biodiversity beyond the scope of monitoring programs, biodiversity indicators must be comparable across inventories. Species richness (SR) is one of the most widely used biodiversity ... -
Soil steaming to disinfect barnyardgrass-infested soil masses
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-01-24)Reusing soil can reduce environmental impacts associated with obtaining natural fresh soil during road construction and analogous activities. However, the movement and reuse of soils can spread numerous plant diseases and ... -
Anvendelse av aldersfri bonitet for skog i Norge
(NIBIO Rapport 8(123) 2022;, Research report, 2022-10)Aldersfri bonitering er en metode for estimering av bonitet uten bruk av alder på skogen. Metoden er utviklet ved NIBIO i seinere år, og omtalt i tidligere publikasjoner. Vi går her videre i arbeidet med å kvalitetssikre ... -
Biological durability of pine wood
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-08-08)The genus Pinus represents more than a hundred different tree species, most of them forming stems that can be commercially utilised for both timber and wood pulp industry. Pines are native to most of the Northern Hemisphere, ... -
Species selection in areas subjected to risk of root and butt rot: applying Precision forestry in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-09-13)Norway’s most common tree species, Picea abies (L.) Karst. (Norway spruce), is often infected with Heterobasidion parviporum Niemelä & Korhonen and Heterobasidion annosum (Fr.) Bref.. Because Pinus sylvestris L. (Scots ... -
Patterns and roles of lignan and terpenoid accumulation in the reaction zone compartmentalizing pathogen-infected heartwood of Norway spruce
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02-10)Tree defense against xylem pathogens involves both constitutive and induced phenylpropanoids and terpenoids. The induced defenses include compartmentalization of compromised wood with a reaction zone (RZ) characterized by ... -
A stand-level growth and yield model for thinned and unthinned even-aged Scots pine forests in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-01-11)Management of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in Norway requires a forest growth and yield model suitable for describing stand dynamics of even-aged forests under contemporary climatic conditions with and without the ... -
Long-term spatiotemporal dynamics in a mountain birch (Betula pubescens ssp. czerepanovii) forest in south-east Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-08-06)Mountain birch forest covers large areas in Eurasia, and their ecological resilience provides important ecosystem services to human societies. This study describes long-term stand dynamics based on permanent plots in the ... -
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 ... -
Trafficability Prediction Using Depth-to-Water Maps: the Status of Application in Northern and Central European Forestry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-01-08)Purpose of Review Mechanized logging operations with ground-based equipment commonly represent European production forestry but are well-known to potentially cause soil impacts through various forms of soil disturbances, ... -
UAV-Based Hyperspectral Imagery for Detection of Root, Butt, and Stem Rot in Norway Spruce
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-08-08)Numerous species of pathogenic wood decay fungi, including members of the genera Heterobasidion and Armillaria, exist in forests in the northern hemisphere. Detection of these fungi through field surveys is often difficult ... -
Spatio-temporal prediction of soil moisture using soil maps, topographic indices and SMAP retrievals
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02-23)Milder winters and extended wetter periods in spring and autumn limit the amount of time available for carrying out ground-based forest operations on soils with satisfactory bearing capacity. Thus, damage to soil in form ... -
Multi-year, post-harvesting impact assessment in a neotropical secondary Atlantic Forest
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-06-24)Subject to overexploitation in the past centuries, the Atlantic Forest is subject to very rigorous protection rules. However, the law is a controversial issue since landowners are not compensated for the limited choice of ... -
Timing and duration of drought modulate tree growth response in pure and mixed stands of Scots pine and Norway spruce
