A snapshot of restored bogs in Southeastern Norway : short term vegetation change after rewetting of ombrotrophic mires
(Master thesis, 2021)Drained peatlands are affected by altered hydrological conditions. Rewetting by ditch blocking and deforestation is conducted to improve ecological conditions of drained peatlands. This study maps the vegetation communities ... -
Snøkjøling - Funksjonsanalyse samt vurdering av energi- og effektpotensial
(Master thesis, 2017)Stadig strengere krav til isolasjon av nye bygg, befolkningsvekst og økte komfortkrav med hensyn på innetemperaturer har ført til et økende kjølebehov i samfunnet. Konvensjonelle kjølemaskiner drives normalt av elektrisitet ... -
Socioeconomic factors affecting tree species abundance and composition in Gondar, Ethiopia
(Master thesis, 2010-10-28)The study investigated if there is variation in the frequency of tree species maintained at household level, and the socioeconomic factors that can explain its variation. Data were collected from 156 randomly selected ... -
Socioeconomics and governance of exclosures in Tigray, Northern Ethiopia
(PhD Thesis;2018:90, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Land degradation and deforestation problems exists across sub-Saharan Africa in general and these remained as the major environmental problems in the Tigray region for many years. The joint effort of the regional government ... -
Soil bypass P for enhanced availability in acid soils
(Master thesis, 2021)Phosphorus (P) is known as one of the essential macroelements for all life, is as important as Nitrogen (N) and Potassium (K) for as a fertilizer component, and unfortunately, is a limited, nonrenewable natural resource, ... -
Soil carbon and glacifluvial deposits in the deglaciation landscape of Gausdal Vestfjell
(Master thesis, 2018)Glacifluvial deposits and their soil carbon stock and stability have been studied in the deglaciation landscape of Gausdal Vestfjell, Norway. Soil profiles are described and sampled for parent material clast analysis, ... -
Soil carbon sequestration through rangeland management : soil carbon and nitrogen stocks and the management issues for enhancing soil carbon sequestration potential in rangelands of Gairo, Tanzania
(Master thesis, 2014-09-22)Rangelands are the unutilized lands which constitute 47% of the world land area containing very low SOC. Though they have very low tendency to store carbon, it can be enhanced by few management practices as these holds ... -
Soil carbon stocks in different vegetation classes across the treeline ecotone in central- and southern Norway
(Master thesis, 2022)The expansion of the treeline into the currently treeless alpine tundra may have considerable impacts on carbon storage. Recent studies have shown that the expansion of trees into the alpine tundra could lead to an increase ... -
Soil carbon storage in the forest-tundra ecotone : insights from field- and remotely sensed data
(PhD Thesis;2023:84, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Due to climate warming, forests are moving to higher elevations and latitudes at the expense of treeless tundra. Recent studies suggest that these vegetation shifts promote soil organic carbon (SOC) losses that exceed ... -
Soil charcoal addition affected biochemistry but not growth in European beech and Norway spruce seedlings
(Master thesis, 2015-07-08)Climate change is projected to result in European beech (Fagus sylvatica) expanding northwards into Norway spruce (Picea abies) forests where, in addition to climate, numerous local factors will determine the relative ... -
Soil charcoal in boreal forests with contrasting management histories in southeast Norway
(Master thesis, 2023)Macroscopic charcoal particles in the soil of boreal forests provide a record of local-scale fire history. They also serve as a long-lived carbon sink and have a positive influence on soil function. However, the distribution ... -
Soil quality and carbon footprint of different land uses by smallholder farmers in Ethiopia
(PhD Thesis;2014:70, Doctoral thesis, 2014)In Ethiopia, deforestation of natural forests and extensive use of agricultural lands have resulted in soil degradation. Despite recent massive restoration measures implemented on degraded landscapes, nowhere in the country ... -
Soil quality and fertiliser application in Norwegian apple orchards
(Master thesis, 2019)Little research has been done on soil quality and fertilisation in fruit orchards in Norway in recent decades. This thesis investigates pH and nutrients in soil samples from 25 farms in the four main apple districts in ... -
Solutions for decentralized greywater treatment
(Master thesis, 2020)As the world water resources continue to deplete, reuse and recycling of greywater has become an alternative potential sustainable solution to reduce the stress on fresh water resources. The objective of this thesis is to ... -
