• Boreal tree species change as a climate mitigation strategy: impact on ecosystem C and N stocks and soil nutrient levels 

      Kjønaas, O. Janne; Barcena, Teresa G.; Hylen, Gro; Nordbakken, Jørn-Frode; Økland, Tonje (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-11-24)
      To increase the annual uptake of CO2 as well as the long-term storage of carbon (C) in forests, the Norwegian government consider large-scale replacements of native, deciduous forests with faster-growing species like Norway ...
    • Estimating and managing broad risk of chronic wasting disease spillover among cervid species 

      Mysterud, Atle; Solberg, Erling Johan; Meisingset, Erling L.; Panzacchi, Manuela; Rauset, Geir Rune; Strand, Olav; Van Moorter, Bram; Rolandsen, Christer Moe; Rivrud, Inger Maren (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-09-10)
      The management of infectious wildlife diseases often involves tackling pathogens that infect multiple host species. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease that can infect most cervid species. CWD was detected in ...
    • Impacts of human disturbance on flight response and habitat use of red deer 

      Meisingset, Erling L.; Gusevik, Joar; Skjørestad, Atle; Brekkum, Øystein; Mysterud, Atle; Rosell, Frank Narve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-11-09)
      Many wild animals perceive humans as predators, and human disturbance,especially in the form of hunting, triggers antipredatory behavior among prey.Yet, knowledge of how game species react to different types of human ...
    • Implications of the forage maturation hypothesis for activity of partially migratory male and female deer 

      Debeffe, Lucie Isabelle; Rivrud, Inger Maren; Brekkum, Øystein; Meisingset, Erling L.; Mysterud, Atle (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-21)
      Partial migration is common in a large variety of taxa in seasonally variable environments. Understanding the mechanisms underlying migration is important, as migration affects individual fi tness. Migratory herbivores ...
    • Imprints of management history on hemiboreal forest ecosystems in the Baltic States 

      Jogiste, Kalev; Frelich, Lee E.; Laarmann, Diana; Vodde, Floortje; Baders, Endijs; Donis, Janis; Jansons, Aris; Kangur, Ahto; Korjus, Henn; Köster, Kajar; Kusmin, Jürgen; Kuuluvainen, Timo; Marozas, Vitas; Metslaid, Marek; Metslaid, Sandra; Polyachenko, Olga; Poska, Anneli; Rebane, Sille; Stanturf, John A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-15)
      In the Baltic States region, anthropogenic disturbances at different temporal and spatial scales mostly determine dynamics and development phases of forest ecosystems. We reviewed the state and condition of hemiboreal ...
    • Snowmelt progression drives habitat selection and vegetation disturbance by an Arctic avian herbivore 

      Eischeid, Isabell; Madsen, Jesper; Ims, Rolf Anker; Nolet, Bart A.; Pedersen, Åshild Ønvik; Schreven, Kees H.T.; Soininen, Eeva Marjatta; Yoccoz, Nigel Gilles; Ravolainen, Virve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-12-17)
      Arctic tundra vegetation is affected by rapid climatic change and fluctuating herbivore population sizes. Broad-billed geese, after their arrival in spring, feed intensively on belowground rhizomes, thereby disturbing soil, ...
    • Subtle foodscape displacement of a native ungulate by free-ranging livestock in a forest agroecosystem 

      Wam, Hilde Karine; Herfindal, Ivar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-28)
      The prevalence of livestock grazing in wildlife area s is increasing. This transformation of ecosys- tems into agroecosystems is concerning because the intr oduction of new species may cause niche displacement of the ...
