Identifying old Norway spruce and Scots pine trees by visual inspection : an analysis of the relationship between age, spatial distribution and morphological traits in trees
(Master thesis, 2020)Old trees are important to biodiversity, yet they are in global decline. In Scandinavia, due to former forest management, old trees were declining, but now possibly on the rise. In Norway, identification of old trees has ... -
Identifying Valuable Habitat Types for Pipistrellus bat species in Norwegian Boreal Forests
(Master thesis, 2023)* Bats are a substantial component of the forest vertebrate community and provide numerous ecosystem services. Although protected in Norway, bats still face threats to their habitat due to intensive forestry but are rarely ... -
Illegal wildlife trade in Nepal : a case study from Kathmandu Valley
(Master thesis, 2015-08-13)Illegal wildlife trade is burgeoning issues in the world. Many research and reports have revealed that an extent of illegal trade is expanding despite there are national and international laws including conventions. This ... -
Immobilization of Pb and Sb in shooting range soil : column experiment with Fe-based sorbent
(Master thesis, 2015-08-03)Tons of trace metals such as lead, antimony, copper and zink, get deposited every year in Norwegian shooting ranges (Strømseng et al. 2011). Due to the accumulation and use of bullets and ammunition, these shooting ranges ... -
Immobilization of uranium as a function of peat content.
(Master thesis, 2015-11-06)Norwegian Public Road Administration (NPRA) has been constructing a new highway (RV 4) in Hadeland, east Norway since the autumn of 2013. Along this highway, a tunnel is also being constructed near Gran Center. Constructing ... -
Impact of acetylation on the gluing properties of wood
(Master thesis, 2015-11-04)Modified wood and the wood industry have a big potential in the future due to a growing global concern for non-environmental friendly chemicals and increasing focus on sustainability. The main purpose to modify wood is to ... -
Impact of Anthropogenic Forest Disturbance on Dung Beetle (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae) Communities in Amani Nature Reserve
(Master thesis, 2016)Dung beetles (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae) are important seed dispersers and are good indicators on environmental change and biodiversity in tropical forests. The diversity of dung beetles often decreases with forest disturbance ... -
Impact of biochar on soil physical characteristics and greenhouse gas emissions
(PhD Thesis;2015:100, Doctoral thesis, 2015)Climate change and production of adequate amounts of food to feed the growing human population are key challenges facing the modern world. These two challenges often involve a trade-off between solving the one, while ... -
Impact of charging of electrical vehicles on the Norwegian distribution grid and possibilities for demand response
(Master thesis, 2014-10-15)The increasing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) may have an impact on the distri- bution network as penetration through EV charging may cause transformer overload. This study analyzes the impact of various EV ... -
Impact of climate and agricultural management on hydrology and water quality : a headwater catchment scale approach
(PhD Thesis;2021:77, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Eutrophication and degradation of water quality are global problems and affect many freshwater and coastal systems. Agricultural areas are major contributors of nutrients and soil particles in streams and lakes. The ... -
Impact of climatic variation on growth of Norway spruce and European beech in South-East Norway
(Master thesis, 2015-07-03)The relationship of climate variation with growth of European beech and Norway spruce was investigated in beech-spruce forest stands in South-East Norway. In two study areas in total 81 pairs of beech and spruce trees were ... -
Impact of fertilization on field vegetation and litter layer in a boreal forest
(Master thesis, 2017)Fertilization of Norwegian boreal forests to increase carbon uptake is suggested as a measure to reduce CO2 emissions. However, studies of the effects of fertilization on field vegetation and litter layer in these forests ... -
Impact of Forest Management History on Fine Root Dynamics and Mycorrhizal Colonization in Norwegian Boreal Forests
(Master thesis, 2023)This thesis examines the influence of forest management history on fine root traits in Norwegian boreal spruce forests, focusing on the role of fine roots in carbon sequestration. The study was conducted across various ... -
Impact of frequent cutting of trees in power-line corridors on biological diversity of beetles (Coleoptera)
(Master thesis, 2012-08-06)Abstract Compared to closed-canopy forest, power-line corridors are more frequently disturbed through regular cutting of all trees. The habitat is thus maintained in an early successional stage, with much sun exposed ... -
Impact of gamma irradiation on apoptotic activity in the earthworm Eisenia fetida (Clitellata)
(Master thesis, 2015-02-27)Earthworms are organisms of key importance worldwide. As ecosystem engineers, they constitute one of the main structuring agents of most soil ecosystems. Previous studies have concluded that earthworms appear to be among ... -
Impact of low dose rate ionising radiation : studies in mice evaluating immediate and long-term molecular responses and transgenerational genomic instability
(PhD Thesis;2023:40, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Mye av det vi vet om risiko for helseeffekter etter å ha blitt usatt for ioniserende stråling er kunnskap lært fra de som overlevde atombombene i Hiroshima og Nagasaki. Imidlertid er denne kunnskapen basert på effekter ... -
The impact of macrophyte removal on macroinvertebrates in the river Otra, Norway
(Master thesis, 2021)Aquatic macrophytes provide complex ecosystems in the freshwaters around the world. Sometimes, macrophytes can grow to very high biomasses and restrict recreational activities in which it starts being perceived as nuisance ... -
Impacts of abiotic stress on priming of defense responses and pathogen resistance in Norway spruce
(Master thesis, 2020)Norway spruce (Picea abies) is one of the most important tree species in Norway due to its high economic and ecological significance in forests. Pathogens, fungi and insects may have detrimental impacts on Norway spruce ... -
Impediments to forest recovery in bracken-dominated clearings in the African Highlands
