Biofilter som rensemetode for avrenning fra anleggsvirksomhet og sprengsteinsdeponi
(Master thesis, 2023)Antropogen akselerert eutrofiering, eller kulturell eutrofiering i form av nitrogen tilførsel er blitt et problem for Oslofjorden, hvor konsentrasjonen har økt betraktelig de siste årene. Fokuset ligger på nitrat (NO3-) ... -
Biogass i Norge : barrierer og utfordringer
(Master thesis, 2020)Biogass er en type fornybar energi som får økende oppmerksomhet og som med fordel kan utnyttes bedre. Klimanytten av biogass avhenger blant annet av hvilke råstoff som er brukt i produksjonen, effektivitet og hva biogassen ... -
Biogeochemical cycling and retention of Fe in boreal lakes
(Master thesis, 2022)An observed trend of increasing iron (Fe) concentrations in boreal freshwaters has been attributed to changes in the biogeochemical cycling of Fe. To better understand the drivers behind this trend, as well as any potential ... -
Biological diversity of gound-dwelling beetles (Coleoptera): impact of frequent cutting of the tree layer
(Master thesis, 2012-09-07)Abstract Forestry is the main disturbance in forest ecosystems in Fennoscandia. Power-line corridors have some similarities with clear cuts created through modern forestry practices, but regrowth of vegetation is ... -
Biomass and carbon loss from selective logging and associated collateral damage in Eastern Amazonia, Brazil
(Master thesis, 2020)Tropical forests are pivotal in global climate regulation and biodiversity conservation. Even though the value of tropical forests has been shown multiple times, they are still experiencing multiple pressures, threatening ... -
Biomass equations and biomass expansion factors (BEFs) for pine (pinus spp.), spruce (picea spp.) and broadleaved dominated stands in Norway
(Master thesis, 2012-08-06)Abstract The objectives of this study were (1) to develop models for estimation of stand-level tree biomass for spruce (picea spp.)- pine (pinus spp.)- and broadleaved-dominated forest in Norway and, (2) develop biomass ... -
Biomass estimation models and methods for miombo woodlands of Malawi using field and remotely sensed data
(PhD Thesis;2016:92, Doctoral thesis, 2016)Dry tropical forests, such as the miombo woodlands, play an important role in the global carbon budget as well as in contributing towards the sustainable development of countries such as Malawi. To ensure sustainability ... -
Biovarme for folk og dyr : kostnader og brukererfaringer fra eiere av mindre fyringsanlegg med flis, ved eller halm
(Master thesis, 2013-08-23)Bioenergi er en viktig energikilde globalt og nasjonalt. Denne oppgaven har som mål å beskrive biovarmeanleggene i norsk landbruk og undersøke hvordan eierne er fornøyd. Den ser også på hva som har vært motivasjonen for ... -
Bird droppings : hooded crows foraging on persian walnuts
(Master thesis, 2014-02-19)I conducted a study on hooded crows (Corvus corone cornix) foraging on walnuts (Juglans regia), often in the presence of magpies (Pica pica). The fieldwork was conducted around three mature walnut trees in a residential ... -
Bird-parasite dynamics in a Bornean rainforest : the effects of selective logging and host characteristics
(Master thesis, 2015-11-05)Parasites are a natural and integral part of all ecosystems, but human disturbance could potentially negatively affect the host-parasite dynamics. Selective logging is considered one of the major threats to forest biodiversity ... -
Birds living on the edge : power-line corridors influence on avian communitites in Norwegian secondary coniferous forest
(Master thesis, 2012-11-16)Power-line corridor edges differ from other edge habitats by its long shape with a high amount of edge habitat compared to open fields, and the regular maintenance clearing the corridor for forest trees not allowing ... -
Birds on camera : assessing avifaunal detections by camera traps in the Amazon
(Master thesis, 2021)Camera traps have become an increasingly useful tool for biodiversity surveys in tropical forests, but most of these studies focus on larger-bodied terrestrial vertebrates, particularly mammals. To date few camera trap ... -
Blir miljøkriteriene for tilskuddsordningen overholdt ved gjødsling av skog?
(Master thesis, 2020)Regjeringen ønsket i Stortingsmeldingen fra 2016 å øke karbonlageret i skogen og i tillegg øke tilgangen til miljøvennlige byggematerialer og råstoff. Flere tiltak ble foreslått og Regjeringen bevilget penger på statsbudsjettet ... -
Blue light screening reduce blue light photosynthesis effeciency of cyanolichens compared with chlorolichens
(Master thesis, 2012-05-21)Cyanolichens have phycobiliproteins that mainly absorb light in the green part of the spectrum. Thereby, phycobiliproteins enhance the utilization of light transmitted through a canopy. The combination of phycobiliproteins ... -
