Individual variation in movement ecology affect body mass in Svalbard reindeer
(Master thesis, 2023)Herbivore foraging is a complex interaction mainly driven by the distribution of forage in the landscape. The forage quantity and quality in the habitat influences the establishment of home ranges and diet selection from ... -
Individually characteristic corncrake Crex crex song reveals long-distance movements within the breeding season
(Master thesis, 2011-04-28)Due to modern agricultural practices, the corncrake is a species of global conservation concern. Mowing of meadows may cause corncrakes to make movements within one breeding season, but such movements are in general poorly ... -
Individuell vekstrate og byttefiskkonsum er bestemmende for kvikksølvkonsentrasjon i abbor (perca fluviatilis), gjedde (Esox lucius) og gjørs (Stizostedion lucioperca) i Øyeren.
(Master thesis, 2011-10-14)Kvikksølvkonsentrasjon, diett (byttedyr), individuelle vekstrater og trofisk posisjon (bestemt med stabile isotoper) ble undersøkt hos abbor (Perca fluviatilis), gjedde (Esox lucius) og gjørs (Stizostedion lucioperca) og ... -
Infection of Diphyllobothrium ditremum in brown trout, Salmo trutta, in Lake Øvre Heimdalsvatn, analysed in relation to diet, trophic status and mercury concentration
(Master thesis, 2014-12-11)There have been profound alternations in the parasite fauna of brown trout in the subalpine lake Øvre Heimdalsvatn, since the first survey of the parasite fauna was conducted in 1969 - 71. One of the most prominent changes ... -
Infiltrasjon av urbant overvann i grøntanlegg
(Master thesis, 2018)Climate change and urbanization cause an increase in storm water. Sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) are in focus to overcome the problem, where green areas can play an important role as infiltration areas. Infiltration ... -
Infiltrasjon for lokal overvannsdisponering (LOD) : vurdering av metoder for å måle infiltrasjon på lokal tomt
(Master thesis, 2017)Urbanisering og klimaendringer gir mer overvann Urbanisering og fortetting i byene, fører til at andelen tette flater øker. Dette hindrer regnvann i å infiltrere (trenge ned) i grunnen. I tillegg gir klimaendringene mer ... -
The influence of reindeer grazing and trampling on newly seeded fields in Finnmark, Norway
(Master thesis, 2011-09-09)In recent years, conflicts between reindeer herdsmen and resident farmers have increased in Finnmark, northern Norway. The causes of these conflicts vary, but one of the major causes is reindeer grazing and trampling on ... -
Innendørs bruk av tre i helsebygg
(Master thesis, 2019)Focus on the use of renewable materials in new buildings is very relevant in today’s society. This is because buildings including the industry sector account for 27 percent of greenhouse gas emissions leading to global ... -
Innsamling av kasserte mobiltelefoner i kommuner med henteordning for småelektronikk : en kartlegging og evaluering av innsamlingsgrad og klimagassutslipp
(Master thesis, 2013-03-26)Mobiltelefoner inneholder verdifulle metaller som er energikrevende og miljøbelastende å utvinne, i tillegg inneholder den toksiske stoffer. Resirkulering vil føre til store klimagevinster ved å erstatte utvinningen av ... -
Innsjøenes betydning som produksjonshabitat for laksesmolt; en undersøkelse av tetthet og vekst av laksunger i Roksdalsvassdraget i Nordland
(Master thesis, 2011-10-14)Flere vassdrag i Nord-Norge har bestander av atlantisk laks (Salmo salar) der ungene utnytter både innsjøer og elver som oppveksthabitat. Roksdalsvassdraget i Nordland er et slikt vassdrag. Tetthetsberegninger og vekststudier ... -
Inoculation with industrialized mycorrhiza powder in a forest plant nursery with standard production methods.
(Master thesis, 2023)Skogreising på Island står nesten kun av planting av planter fra planteskoler. På landsbasis ligger gjennomsnittlig overlevelse i felt på under 50%. Muligheten for å øke overlevelsen ved å inokulere plantene med mykorrhiza ... -
Insect community response to recent rewetting of drained bogs in Southeastern Norway
(Master thesis, 2021)During the last five years, Norway has rewetted almost 80 drained mires to reduce climate emissions, limit the risk of natural disasters, and to prevent further loss of biodiversity. Even more mires are planned to be ... -
