High tolerance of a high-arctic willow and graminoid to simulated ice encasement
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Climate change-induced snow thaw and subsequent accumulation of ice on the ground is a potential, major threat to snow-dominated ecosystems. While impacts of ground-ice on arctic wildlife are well explored, the impacts on ... -
High-resolution modeling of uplift landscapes can inform micrositing of wind turbines for soaring raptors
(Journal article, 2020)Collision risk of soaring birds is partly associated with updrafts to which they are attracted. To ident ify the risk-enhancinglandscape features, a micrositing tool was developed to model orographic and thermal updraft ... -
Higher leaf nitrogen content is linked to tighter stomatalregulation of transpiration and more efficient water use acrossdryland trees
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The least-cost economic theory of photosynthesis shows that water and nitrogen are mutu-ally substitutable resources to achieve a given carbon gain. However, vegetation in the Sahelhas to cope with the dual challenge imposed ... -
Highways associated with expansion of boreal scavengers into the alpine tundra of Fennoscandia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)1. Habitat fragmentation may affect species distributions through, for example, altered resource availability and shifts in species interactions. Fragmentation by roads has had negative impacts on Fennoscandian alpine ... -
The Historical Complexity of Tree Height Growth Dynamic Associated with Climate Change in Western North America
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The effect of climate on tree growth has received increased interest in the context of climate change. However, most studies have been limited geographically and with respect to species. Here, sixteen tree species of western ... -
Historical human impact on Productivity and biodiversity in a subalpine oligotrophic lake in Scandinavia
(Journal article, 2019)We conducted a paleolimnological study to examine how changes in human activity interacted with climate to influence productivity and biodiversity over the past millennium in oligotrophic Lake Atnsjøen, SE Norway. The study ... -

A hitchhiker's guide to European lake ecological assessment and intercalibration
(Journal article, 2015)The Water Framework Directive is the first international legislation to require European countries to establish comparable ecological assessment schemes for their freshwaters. A key element in harmonising quality ... -
Holder fisketrappene mål i forhold til Vannforskriften?

A holistic view of Holistic Management: What do farm-scale, carbon, and social studies tell us?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Holistic Management (HM) is claimed to increase production of plants and animals while also increasing soil organic carbon under all conditions in all habitats. Peer-review literature does not support these claims, but ... -
Home garden ecosystem services valuation through a gender lens: A case study in the Catalan Pyrenees
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Ecosystem services have become a critical issue in the environmental literature, however knowledge on whether women and men similarly value ecosystem services is still nascent. We aim at advancing the understanding of ... -
‘Home sweet home’

Home-range, movements and use of powerline poles of Eagle-Owls (Bubo bubo) at an island population in northern Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)A dense island population of Eagle-Owls (Bubo bubo) close to the Arctic circle had suffered considerable mortality due to powerlines (electrocution and collision) throughout many decades. A study using GPS transmitter ... -
Honningblom Herminium monorchis – overvåking av artens tre populasjoner på Hvaler
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The musk orchid Herminium monorchis (L.) R.Br. is one of Norway’s rarest vascular plants, listed as Critically Endangered in the Red-list for species. Since 2011 the species has also been listed as a Priority Species under ... -
Host specificity drives genetic structure in a freshwater mussel
(Journal article, 2019)Parasites often depend on their hosts for long distance transport, and genetic population structure can be strongly affected by host specificity and dispersal. Freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) populations ... -
How are environmental measures realized in European hydropower?
(Hydrocen rapport;, Research report, 2019)This report explores how environmental measures are realized in European hydropower production, how they are financed, and how trade‐offs between hydropower production, environmental restoration and value creation are ... -
How do resource distribution and taxonomy affect the use of dual foraging in seabirds? A review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In many seabird species, parents feeding young switch between short and long foraging excursions in a strategy known as “dual foraging.” To investigate whether habitat quality near breeding colonies drives the use of dual ... -
How effective are perches in promoting bird‑mediated seed dispersal for natural forest regeneration? A systematic review protocol
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background Forest landscape restoration (FLR), often through tree planting, is one of the priorities in many global and national initiatives for carbon offsetting as part of climate change mitigation and biodiversity ... -
How many routes lead to migration? Comparison of methods to assess and characterize migratory movements
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Summary 1. Decreasing rate of migration in several species as a consequence of climate change and anthropic pressure, together with increasing evidence of space-use strategies intermediate between residency and complete ... -
How much noise is too much? Methods for identifying thresholds for soundscape quality and ecosystem services
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The United States National Park Service mandate is to conserve park resources and provide superlative visitor experience. In the context of acoustic resources, Denali National Park and Preserve provides an advantageous ...
