Sheep grazing effects on soil carbon and nitrogen and implications for runoff water quality at a low alpine site in southern Norway
Martinsen, Vegard (2011;2011:10, Doctoral thesis, 2011)Grazing in outlying fields has a long history and is important in local communities worldwide. Alpine ecosystems, representing a large proportion of the land area in Europe, are under pressure from changes in climate and ... -
Significant build-up of soil organic carbon under climate-smart conservation farming in Sub-Saharan Acrisols
Martinsen, Vegard; Munera-Echeverri, Jose L; Obia, Alfred; Cornelissen, Gerard; Mulder, Jan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Conservation farming (CF) involving minimumtillage, mulching and crop rotation may offer climate change adaptation and mitigation benefits. However, reported effects of CF, as applied by smallholders, on storage of soil ... -
Synergies and trade-offs between ecosystem services in analpine ecosystem grazed by sheep – An experimental approach
Austrheim, Gunnar; Speed, James David Mervyn; Evju, Marianne; Hester, Alison; Holand, Øystein; Loe, Leif Egil; Martinsen, Vegard; Mobæk, Ragnhild; Mulder, Jan; Steen, Harald; Thompson, Des B.A.; Mysterud, Atle (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Domestic livestock drives ecosystem changes in many of the world’s mountain regions, and can be the dominant influenceon soil, habitat and wildlife dynamics. Grazing impacts on ecosystem services (ES) vary according to ... -
The fate of nitrogen in an Acrisol in Zambia under different management practices
Talmo, Ina Kristine (Master thesis, 2019)A 10-day 15N tracer experiment, using 15N-NO3 and 15N-NH4, was conducted on an Acrisol in Mkushi, Zambia, in a rain-fed maize field. The addition of the 15N label, as either 15N-NO3 or 15N-NH4, was equivalent to 0.1g/m2 ... -
The impact of planting basins under conservation farming with and without biochar on aggregate stability, soil organic carbon, and pH in Zambian Acrisols
Ellingsen, Elisabeth Time (Master thesis, 2018)Conservation Farming (CF) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), including reduced tillage, return of crop residue, and crop rotation, has been found to increase maize yields in rain-fed agriculture. In combination with the application ...
