Ecotoxicity attenuation by acid-resistant nanofiltration in scandium recovery from TiO<inf>2</inf> production waste
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-04-04)The lack of high-grade scandium (Sc) ores and recovery strategies has stimulated research on the exploitation of non-ore-related secondary sources that have great potential to safeguard the critical raw materials supply ... -
Ecotoxicity of nanomaterials used for remediation
(Chapter, 2019)Remediation using nanoparticles depends on proper documentation of safety aspects, one of which is their ecotoxicology. Ecotoxicology of nanoparticles has some special features: while traditional ecotoxicology aims at ... -
Ecotoxicological effects on earthworms of fresh and aged nano-sized zero-valent iron (nZVI) in soil
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-09)Although nano-sized zero-valent iron (nZVI) has been used for several years for remediation of contaminated soils and aquifers, only a limited number of studies have investigated secondary environmental effects and ecotoxicity ... -
Educational Strategies in Cultural Landscapes. Are we complying with the Faro Convention?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-07-22)The Faro Convention underlined the importance of educational initiatives related to heritage. This paper focuses on the educational dimension of landscape, as a means to better facilitate its social acceptance and hence ... -

Effect of acid based additive treatment of low dry matter grass crops on losses and silage quality in bunker silos
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05)The large surface area of bunker silos imposes challenges with heating caused by plant respiration during initial ensiling. This study aimed to explore if application of a formic- and propionic acid-based additive would ... -
Effect of anaerobic digestion of manure before application to soil – benefits for nitrogen utilisation?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-03-03)Purpose Anaerobic digestion produces renewable energy, biogas, from organic residues, but also digestate, a valuable organic fertiliser. Previous studies have indicated that digestate contains ample plant available nitrogen ... -
Effect of calcareous and siliceous amendments on N2O emissions of a grassland soil
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-05-19)Liming of acidic agricultural soils has been proposed as a strategy to mitigate nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, as increased soil pH reduces the N2O/N2 product ratio of denitrification. The capacity of different calcareous ... -
The effect of climate variability in the efficacy of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium acridum against the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-05-09)Despite substantial efforts to control locusts they remain periodically a major burden in Africa, causing severe yield loss and hence loss of food and income. Distribution maps indicating the value of the basic reproduction ... -
The Effect of Combined Drought and Temperature Stress on the Physiological Status of Calcareous Grassland Species as Potential Candidates for Urban Green Infrastructure
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-05-16)Nature-based solutions are promising for climate adaptation and environmental management in urban areas, but urban conditions are stressful for vegetation. In particular, the interaction of drought and high temperatures ... -
Effect of combined seasonal coverage on northern production of strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Two field trials with five strawberry cultivars planted on a woven black polyfibre ground cover sheet with or without translucent sheet plant coverage during winter and the growing season as combined treatments were started ... -
Effect of composting and vermicomposting on potentially toxic element contents and bioavailability in sewage sludge digestate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-02)Vermicomposts and composts prepared from sewage sludge digestate and additives (spent mushroom compost, straw, biochar) after 43 days pre-composting followed by 90 days vermicomposting with Eisenia fetida or by compost ... -
The effect of diammonium phosphate and sodium silicate on the adhesion and fire properties of birch veneer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-24)In built environments the combustibility of wood is a great concern, which limits the use of wood as a building material due to legislation. The reaction-to-fire properties of wood can be altered with the use of fire-retardant ... -
The Effect of Environmental Factors on the Nutrition of European Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) Varies with Defoliation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-12-30)Despite being adapted to a wide range of environmental conditions, the vitality of European beech is expected to be significantly affected by the projected effects of climate change, which we attempted to assess with foliar ... -
Effect of fertilization, tiller cutting and environment on plant growth and yield of European Blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) in Norwegian forest fields.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)BACKGROUND: European blueberry (E. blueberry; Vaccinium myrtillus L.) is a natural resource demanded by the processing industry with potential of domestication. Therefore an investigation of the possibilities of partial ... -
Effect of grassland cutting frequency, species mixture, wilting and fermentation pattern of grass silages on in vitro methane yield
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-03-23)Mitigating enteric methane (CH4) emissions is crucial as ruminants account for 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. We hypothesised that less frequent harvesting, use of crops with lower WSC concentration, ensiling at ... -
Effect of kerfing on crack formation in Scots pine log house timber
(Chapter, 2011)In Norway log buildings are normally produced from logs canted on two sides. The canted faces are prone to crack formation during drying. This can cause some disadvantages, e.g. the cracks can trap water from rainfall, ... -
Effect of legal regulation of supplemental feeding on space use of red deer in an area with chronic wasting disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-12-12)Supplemental feeding of cervids during winter is a widespread management practice, but feeding may increase the risk of disease transmission. Therefore, legal regulations to limit supplemental feeding are often implemented ... -
Effect of maturity stage at harvest and kernel processing of whole crop wheat silage on digestibility by dairy cows
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The study aimed to explore whether digestibility by cows of whole crop wheat silage harvested at two different dough stages of maturity was impaired due to its content of whole kernels. Wheat was harvested at early (ED) ... -
