Effects of climate change on alpine plant species at Finse, Southern Norway
(Master thesis, 2012-09-07)The issue of climate change is one of the most discussed topics on Earth. The Earth is warming up and that is expected to continue in future. Alpine vegetation has already been affected by climate warming and has already ... -
Effects of climate, historical logging and spatial scales on beetles in hollow oaks
(PhD Thesis;2016:90, Doctoral thesis, 2016)Veteran trees are keystone structures and important biodiversity habitats, but they are declining on a global scale. In Europe, old oaks (Quercus spp.) are one of the most important habitat trees for biodiversity, yet the ... -
Effects of climate-smart agriculture on agricultural production, GHG emissions and livelihoods in agro-pastoral and mixed farming systems in southern Ethiopia
(PhD Thesis;2020:29, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Changes in the agricultural sector are essential in order to mitigate and adapt to climate change, meet growing food demands, and improve the livelihoods of poor smallholder producers. Several studies have suggested that ... -
Effects of concentrate supplementation on reproduction and lactation performance of F1-Small East African x Norwegian does
(Master thesis, 2011-04-14)Forty-five (12-15) months-old, grazing Small East African (SEA) x Norwegian (N) does (20.7 ± 0.6 kg BW) were used to determine effects of three dietary levels on reproductive and lactation performance for 17 months experiment ... -

(Master thesis, 2013-03-26)Grazing herbivores are a common tool in wetland conservation management. This thesis studied the effects of continuous grazing by livestock in the freshwater meadow/fen wetland Steinsvika in Southeast Norway. By visual ... -
Effects of conversion of natural forest to plantations, traditional agroforestry and cultivated lands on carbon sequestration and maintenance of soil quality in Gambo district, Southern Ethiopia
(PhD Thesis;2009:40, Doctoral thesis, 2009)Clearing and conversion of natural forest to short rotation plantation, traditional agroforestry, crop and grazing land uses are rampant in Ethiopia. The unabated deforestation and the eventual reduction in soil productivity ... -
Effects of culling on the pelagic whitefish population in Lake Randsfjorden aiming at establishing a commercial fishery
(Master thesis, 2015-08-05)The fishery in Lake Randsfjorden has long traditions, and especially the European whitefish Coregonus lavaretus has earlier played an important role as additional food supply for local communities in the area. After a rapid ... -
Effects of culture conditions on the photoautotrophic growth and biochemical composition of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, as a potential source for hydrogen production
(PhD Thesis;2014:85, Doctoral thesis, 2014)Hydrogen is a particularly attractive energy carrier, since its combustion produces water vapor only. The green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is able to produce hydrogen under sulfur-deficient anaerobic conditions ... -
Effects of day and night temperature and lighting conditions on growth, nutritional status and tipburn of lettuce (Lactuca Sativa L.`Frillice´) cultivated in controlled environment
(Master thesis, 2022)Growth chamber experiments were conducted with Lactuca sativa crisphead lettuce:`Frillice´ growing in nutrient film technique (NFT). The main objective was to study energy-efficient cultivation strategies without reductions ... -

(Master thesis, 2014-08-12)The effect of high light intensities in form of daylight and simulated daylight conditions on the growth and quality of the green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was investigated. In the daylight experiments, cultures ... -
Effects of Defined Mixtures of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) on Pre-lethal Cytotoxicity in the Human A-498 Kidney Cell Line In Vitro
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)A total mixture of 29 persistent organic pollutants (POPs) modelled from Scandinavian blood concentrations was used to expose human A-498 kidney cells for 24 h over a concentration range spanning below to above blood level ... -
Effects of defined mixtures of persistent organic pollutants on DNA damage in a human endocrine cell line (H295R) and in mouse lymphocytes exposed in vitro and in vivo.
(Master thesis, 2014-08-04)A wide range of synthetic chemicals have been used extensively for decades. They are ubiquitous in the environment, and can therefore pose adverse effects on humans and wildlife. Mixtures of persistent organic pollutants ... -
Effects of diet structure and feed availability on passage rate and nutrients digestibility
(Master thesis, 2014-08-12)The purpose of the experiment was to test the following hypotheses: birds have tendency for over-consumption of feed, and the extent of over-consumption varies through the day after a starvation period. Further, the ... -
