Calculating cumulative effects in GIS using a stepless multivariate model
Erikstad, Lars; Bakkestuen, Vegar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The paper present a streamlined workflow, using multivariate analyses of environmental variables in combinations with GIS overlay analyses that provide methods to extract and analyse major environmental and climatic gradients ... -
DNA metabarcoding reveals diet overlap between the endangered walia ibex and domestic goats - implications for conservation
Mewicha, Berihun Gebremedhin; Flagstad, Øystein; Bekele, Afework; Gelete, Desalegn Chala; Bakkestuen, Vegar; Boessenkool, Sanne; Popp, Magnus; Gusarova, Galina; Schrøder-Nielsen, Audun; Nemomissa, Sileshi; Brochmann, Christian; Stenseth, Nils Christian; Epp, Laura (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Human population expansion and associated degradation of the habitat of many wildlife species cause loss of biodiversity and species extinctions. The small Simen Mountains National Park in Ethiopia is one of the last ... -
Evaluating cumulative effects of small scale hydropower development using GIS modelling and representativeness assessments
Erikstad, Lars; Hagen, Dagmar; Stange, Erik; Bakkestuen, Vegar (Journal article, 2020)Assessing cumulative effects are a vital task for strategic environmental assessments (SEA) but lack of consistent methodology has hampered the development and implementation of useful tools. We present a model for GIS and ... -
Good-bye to tropical alpine plant giants under warmer climates? Loss of range and genetic diversity in Lobelia rhynchopetalum
Gelete, Desalegn Chala; Brochmann, Christian; Psomas, Achilleas; Ehrich, Dorothee; Gizaw, Abel; Masao, Catherine; Bakkestuen, Vegar; Zimmermann, Niklaus E (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The main aim of this paper is to address consequences of climate warming on loss of habitat and genetic diversity in the enigmatic tropical alpine giant rosette plants using the Ethiopian endemic Lobelia rhynchopetalum as ... -
Index Measuring Land Use Intensity—A Gradient‐Based Approach
Erikstad, Lars; Simensen, Trond; Bakkestuen, Vegar; Halvorsen, Rune (Journal article, 2023)To monitor the changes in the landscape, and to relate these to ecological processes, we need robust and reproducible methods for quantifying the changes in landscape patterns. The main aim of this study is to present, ... -

Multivariate Analysis of Geological Data for Regional Studies of Geodiversity
Erikstad, Lars; Bakkestuen, Vegar; Dahl, Rolv Magne; Arntsen, Mari Lie; Margreth, Annina; Angvik, Tine Larsen; Wickström, Linda (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In Norway, a landscape map exists which gives the opportunity to collect data in landscape units for further analysis. This study covers parts of Norway and Sweden, so the landscape map was extended into Sweden to form a ... -
Novel large-scale mapping highlights poor state of sea trout populations
Fiske, Peder; Forseth, Torbjørn; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Bakkestuen, Vegar; Einum, Sigurd; Falkegård, Morten; Garmo, Øyvind A.; Garseth, Åse Helen; Skoglund, Helge; Solberg, Monica Favnebøe; Utne, Kjell Rong; Vollset, Knut; Vøllestad, Leif Asbjørn; Wennevik, Vidar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)1. The state of sea trout in 1251 Norwegian watercourses was assessed based on a scoring system for human pressures, abundance data, and local knowledge. 2. Over 16,000 km of rivers and lakes were available to sea trout ... -
