Modeling reverse auction-based subsidies and stormwater fee policies for Low Impact Development (LID) adoption: a system dynamics analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Many urban areas around the world are facing increasing pressure on stormwater management systems due to urbanization and extreme weather events caused by climate change. Low impact development (LID), including blue-green ... -
Modelled drift patterns of fish larvae link coastal morphology to seabird colony distribution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016) -
Modelled sensitivity of avian collision rate at wind turbines varies with number of hours of flight activity input data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)Collision risk modelling of birds at wind turbines typi-cally requires vantage point (VP) data to quantify birdflight activity. The number of VP observation hoursrequired to provide such data, and the associated error ... -
Modelling climate change effects on Atlantic salmon: Implications for mitigation in regulated rivers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Climate change is expected to alter future temperature and discharge regimes of rivers. These regimes have a strong influence on the life history of most aquatic river species, and are key variables controlling the growth ... -
Modelling the downstream longitudinal effects of frequent hydropeaking on the spawning potential and stranding susceptibility of salmonids
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Hydropower plant operating conditions are expected to change to be more in tandem with intermittent power production so as to meet the requirements of the Paris Agreement, which in turn may negatively impact ecolog- ical ... -
Modelling the effect of hydropeaking‐induced stranding mortality on Atlantic salmon population abundance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Studies of hydropeaking‐induced stranding mortality on fish populations have been confined to analysis of empirical data and/or short‐term hydraulic‐habitat modelling of individual events and are thus limited as to how ... -
Modelo de estados y transiciones de los ñirantales del NO de la Patagonia como herramienta para el uso silvopastoril sustentable
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Desarrollamos un modelo de estados y transiciones (MEyT) para el bosque de ñire (Nothofagus antarctica) en el norte de la Patagonia, con el fin de sintetizar el conocimiento disperso sobre las repuestas de este sistema ... -
Modelo experto participativo para la selección de árboles multifuncionales en potreros por medio de redes bayesianas
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Se desarrolló un ‘modelo experto’ para el diseño de potreros ideales mediante combinaciones de árboles en cercas vivas y árboles dispersos en potrero. La herramienta utiliza información sobre los tipos de productores y sus ... -
Modifying and parameterizing the individual-based model inSTREAM for Atlantic salmon and brown trout in the regulated Gullspång River, Sweden
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)We modified, parameterized, and applied the individual-based model inSTREAM version 6.1 for lake-migrating populations of landlocked Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and brown trout (S. trutta) in a residual flow stretch of ... -
Monitoring climate sensitivity shifts in tree-rings of Eastern Boreal North America using model-data comparison. Shifts in tree growth sensivity to climate
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The growth of high-latitude temperature-limited boreal forest ecosystems is projected to become more constrained by soil water availability with continued warming. The purpose of this study was to document ongoing shifts ... -
Monitoring cultural heritage environments in Svalbard – Smeerenburg, a whaling station on Amsterdam Island
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Cultural environments are not static and unchanging, they are subject to a number of site transfor-mation processes. Environmental hazards and human activity are among the primary degradation parameters for cultural heritage ... -
Monitoring genetic diversity with new indicators applied to an alpine freshwater top predator
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Genetic diversity is the basis for population adaptation and long-term survival, yet rarely considered in biodiversity monitoring. One key issue is the need for useful and straightforward indicators of genetic ... -
Monitoring methods for the Golden Eagle Aquila chrysaetos in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Capsule: A description of the methods used for monitoring the Golden Eagle Aquila chrysaetos in Norway Aims: To provide a comprehensive description of monitoring methods. Methods: The intensive monitoring of the Golden ... -
Monitoring presence and abundance of two gyrodactylid ectoparasites and their salmonid hosts using environmental DNA
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Invasive species represent a major challenge for the conservation of biodiversity. The invasive ectoparasitic fluke Gyrodactylus salaris is considered one of the major threats to the Atlantic salmon (Salmo ... -
Monitoring visitors to natural areas in wintertime: issues in counter accuracy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The sustainable management of vulnerable natural areas requires accurate measurement of visitor flows, especially in mountain and protected areas. Pyroelectric sensors that detect the heat radiation emitted by human bodies ... -
Monitoring Winter Stress Vulnerability of High-Latitude Understory Vegetation Using Intraspecific Trait Variability and Remote Sensing Approaches
(Journal article, 2020)In this study, we focused on three species that have proven to be vulnerable to winter stress: Empetrum nigrum, Vaccinium vitis-idaea and Hylocomium splendens. Our objective was to determine plant traits suitable for ... -
More frequent extreme climate events stabilize reindeer population dynamics
(Journal article, 2019)treme climate events often cause population crashes but are difficult to account for in population-dynamic studies. Especially in long-lived animals, density dependence and demography may induce lagged impacts of ... -
More stable productivity of semi natural grasslands than sown pastures in a seasonally dry climate
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)In the Neotropics the predominant pathway to intensify productivity is generally thought to be to convert grasslands to sown pastures, mostly in monoculture. This article examines how above-ground net primary productivity ... -
The Morphometric structure of the Larix Gmellinii recruitment at the northern limit of its range in the forest-tundra ecotone
(Peer reviewed, 2013)The goal of the research presented herein is the investigation of the morphometric and age parameters of the recruitment of forest stands formed by Larix gmellinii, as an indicator of trends in the dynamics of the ... -
Mortality of Atlantic salmon after catch and release angling: assessment of a recreational Atlantic salmon fishery in a changing climate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Human activities have the potential to accelerate population-level decline by contributing to climate warming and decreasing the capacity of species to survive warming temperatures. Here we build a predictive model to test ...
