The missing pieces for better future predictions in subarctic ecosystems: A Tornetra¨sk case study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Arctic and subarctic ecosystems are experiencing substantial changes in hydrology, vegetation, permafrost conditions, and carbon cycling, in response to climatic change and other anthropogenic drivers, and these changes ... -
Modal testing of the Francis-99 runner
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The Francis-99 low specific speed Francis runner has undergone much study in the years since it was first made available to the public. The High Head Francis(HiFrancis) project, hosted by the Waterpower Laboratory at NTNU, ... -
Model-based assessment of marine bird population status using monitoring of breeding productivity and abundance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Vertebrate populations are often monitored as part of broader assessments of ecosystem status, where they are expected to provide information on the ability of the ecosystem to support higher-level predators. However, ... -
Model-based decomposition of environmental, spatial and species-interaction effects on the community structure of common fish species in 772 European lakes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Aim: We tested whether there is a strong effect of species interactions on assembly of local lake fish communities, in addition to environmental filters and dispersal. Location: Seven hundred and seventy-two European lakes ... -
Modeling Habitat Suitability for the Western Ridged Mussel (Gonidea angulata Lea) in Okanagan Lake, British Columbia, Canada
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Once common throughout surface waters west of the Rocky Mountains, the western ridged mussel (Gonidea angulata Lea) has been extirpated throughout much of its range (Blevins et al. 2017). This species is currently listed ... -
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 heterogeneity in the classification process in multi-species distribution models can improve predictive performance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Species distribution models and maps from large-scale biodiversity data are necessary for conservation management. One current issue is that biodiversity data are prone to taxonomic misclassifications. Methods to account ... -
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 ... -
