Climate change and potential effects on agriculture and water quality
(NIBIO POP;2(20) 2016, Others, 2016-04)Climate scenarios for Norway predict an increase in temperature, a longer growing season and more precipitation in most parts of the country (Hanssen- Bauer et al., 2015). More precipitation will likely have a negative ... -
Climate change and the role of gender: A study from Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu in South India
(ClimaRice Report;No. 2, Research report, 2012-07) -
Climate change and vulnerability in Bangladesh
(Bioforsk TEMA;, Research report, 2014)It is predicted that climate change will aggravate the presence of sudden (e.g. cyclones, floods etc.) and chronic (e.g. drought, erosion) hazards to agrarian communities in Bangladesh. According to the Intergovernmental ... -
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 Impacts on Seagrass Meadows and Macroalgal Forests: An Integrative Perspective on Acclimation and Adaptation Potential
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-04)Marine macrophytes are the foundation of algal forests and seagrass meadows–some of the most productive and diverse coastal marine ecosystems on the planet. These ecosystems provide nursery grounds and food for fish and ... -
Climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation: Sustaining rice production in Bangladesh
(Bioforsk Rapport;, Research report, 2014)The current study has indicated the most prioritized interventions to be taken against climate change in Bangladeshi rice growing areas prone to drought and salinity events. The suggested methodology managed to evaluate ... -
Climate Change Mitigation in Tanzania: Agricultural Production Systems in Njombe. Work Report from a Study in a High Altitude Farming Area
(NILF Discussion Papers;2013-6, Research report, 2013)This report deals with results of a survey to 60 farming households in the three villages Magoda, Kichiwa and Ibumila in the Njombe region of Tanzania, about 700 km from Dar es Salaam. The farmers were selected among those ... -
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 change scenarios for the study regions and their impacts on rice production with respect to droughts and salinity identified
(ClimaViet project report;1.1, Report, 2014-06) -
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 gas emissions from food systems – use of LCA analyses
(NILF Discussion Papers;2011-3, Research report, 2011-08) -
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 ... -
Climate Potential for Apple Growing in Norway—Part 1: Zoning of Areas with Heat Conditions Favorable for Apple Growing under Observed Climate Change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-06-07)Agricultural production is already, and obviously, affected by climate change. Adapting to climate change includes reducing future risks to ensure yield quality and quantity and considers seizing any potential opportunities ... -
Climate Potential for Apple Growing in Norway—Part 2: Assessment of Suitability of Heat Conditions under Future Climate Change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-05-26)The commercial apple production in Norway is limited to the small regions along the fjords in the southwest part of the country and around lakes or near the sea in the southeast with favorable climate. Due to the rapid ... -
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 ... -
Climate warming enhances flower formation, earliness of blooming and fruit size in plum (Prunus domestica L.) in the cool Nordic environment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The predicted and ongoing climate warming is expected to affect many aspects of plant development. We analysed data from a 31-year series of observations (1985–2016) on spring phenology and flowering and fruiting performance ... -
Climate warming feedback from mountain birch forest expansion: Reduced albedo dominates carbon uptake
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Expanding high elevation and high latitude forest has contrasting climate feedbacks through carbon sequestration (cooling) and reduced surface reflectance (warming), which are yet poorly quantified. Here, we present an ... -
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 ... -
