Langtidsutvikling for veinære innsjøer utsatt for veisaltavrenning, studert med paleolimnologiske metoder
(Master thesis, 2018)Veisalt brukes for å sikre gode kjørevilkår på veiene under vinteren i Norge, men veisaltavrenning kan føre til fysiske, kjemiske og biologiske konsekvenser i innsjøer. Veisaltavrenning kan føre til permanente saltsjiktninger ... -
Langtidsutvikling og drivkrefter til variasjon i vannkvalitet i en eutrof innsjø : innsjøsedimenter som arkiv for autotrof produksjon og alloktone tilførsler av organisk materiale, med eksempel fra Helgetjern
(Master thesis, 2016-02-19)Langtidsdata fra innsjøer er ofte ikke tilgjengelige for forvaltningen, og det kan dermed være vanskelig å si noe om forholdene før menneskelig påvirkning, i hvilket tidsrom endringene har skjedd og hva som er drivkreftene ... -

Large scale forest resource mapping in Norway : an assessment of SR16’s prediction accuracy and economic viability
(Master thesis, 2023)Long-term forest management strategies depend on reliable and up-to-date forest resource information. At the property level, this information can be acquired through forest management inventories (FMI) that describe forest ... -
Large-area forest productivity estimation using bitemporal data from airborne laser scanning and digital aerial photogrammetry
(PhD Thesis;2020:37, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Site index (SI) indicates the magnitude of timber production that can be realized at a given site and is a crucial variable in forest planning. In Norwegian forest management inventories, SI is commonly quanti ed with large ... -
Laserskremming av gjess : et nyttig verktøy for bonden?
(Master thesis, 2022)Gåsebestandene i Europa har vokst kraftig de siste 50 årene, og konfliktnivået mellom gjess og landbruk har vokst i takt med bestandene. Etterspørselen etter skade- og konfliktdempende tiltak er betydelig. Sterkt lys har ... -
Late Weichselian glacial dynamics and retreat patterns of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet in Gausdal Vestfjell, southcentral Norway, acquired from spatial data
(PhD thesis;2018:68, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Evidence-based geomorphological research (analyses of glacial landform record) is one of the commonly used types of glacial reconstructions applied for studying the past ice sheets. The work covered by this thesis contains ... -
Leaching, uptake and effects in brown trout (Salmo trutta) of radionuclides and metals from black shales and sulphur bearing gneiss
(Master thesis, 2015-08-04)Sulphur rich rocks can leach high concentrations of radionuclides and metals into the aquatic environment, when exposed to air and moisture and this might lead to uptake and negative effects in aquatic organisms. Thus ... -
Learning from the past : using lake sediments as chemical and biological archives
(PhD Thesis;2015:27, Doctoral thesis, 2017-07-12)This thesis advances the analysis of the organic fraction of sediment to reconstruct lake history using DNA fragments and algal pigments in combination with available monitoring data. These methods were tested in southern ... -
Lesser sandeel (Ammodytes marinus) in the Tana river delta : temporal variation in abundance, habitat use and demography
(Master thesis, 2019)Lesser sandeel (Ammodytes marinus, Raitt, 1934, sandeel for short) is a keystone species of the Barents Sea ecosystem. However, little is known about the distribution of this species in the Tana fjord or Tana river delta ... -
Let the river live : cascade- effects of restoration in Bognelv
(Master thesis, 2012-09-12)Numerous river processes regarded as problems by today’s society, such as flooding and erosion, are vital to many organisms depending upon unstable environments. Several rivers have been altered to safeguard settlements ... -
Levende Skog : forhandlinger & årsaker til brudd
(Master thesis, 2014-02-13)Levende Skog standarden definerer en rekke miljøkrav for all skogsdrift i Norge, og har inngått i sertifiseringsordninger siden 1998. Standarden ble utviklet i et unikt samarbeid mellom organisasjoner som representerte ... -
Leveraging non-invasive monitoring of carnivores using hierarchical models
(PhD thesis;2020:59, Doctoral thesis, 2020)The development of non-invasive approaches for monitoring wildlife populations made it feasible to obtain ecological parameters across landscapes and populations, rather than a few locations or individuals. The two most ... -
Lichen-gastropod interactions : Chemical defence and ecological consequences of lichenivory
(PhD Thesis;2010:2, Doctoral thesis, 2010)Herbivory are considered a significant factor regulating plant communities. Some mammals, e.g. reindeers, substantially influence lichen-dominated communities. The impact on lichens posed by invertebrate grazers is less ... -
LiDAR as a tool for remote sensing of moose (Alces alces) forage biomass
(Master thesis, 2013-08-23)Moose (Alces alces) play an ecological keystone role in the boreal forest ecosystem and increasingly so during the last decades due to the large population increase. The growing moose population has a large impact on ... -
LiDAR, habitat structure and the ecology of ungulates in a landscape of fear
(PhD Thesis;2015:5, Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-10)The expression ‘landscape of fear’ describes a situation in which prey behavior and space use across the landscape are shaped by spatial and temporal patterns in predation risk. Yet such behavioral and indirect effects of ... -
Life cycle assessment of mountain forest wood fuel supply chains : case studies from Norway and Italy
