Evaluating the efficacy of alpine restoration actions at Elgsjøveien, Norway
(Master thesis, 2022)Human induced land-use change degrades natural ecosystems and results in habitat loss, fragmentation, and patch isolation with important consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Human pressure on natural ... -
Evaluating wildlife cameras as a method to sample reindeer behavior
(Master thesis, 2021)Increasing amounts of infrastructure intersecting reindeer habitat in Fennoscandia also increases concern over negative effects on reindeer behavior and area use. Previous studies have shown variable results regarding area ... -
Evaluation of primary rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss ) hepatocytes suitability as a screening assay for estrogen receptor agonists
(PhD Thesis;2016:47, Doctoral thesis, 2017-07-12)Regulatory legislations on chemicals have in recent years become more stringent, requiring more toxicological evaluation. The increased toxicological testing have resulted in a stronger effort to implement the 3Rs (Refinement, ... -
Evaluation of restoration success for semi-natural and flower meadows in the Oslo municipality
(Master thesis, 2019)While cities are often overlooked as targets for conservation, ecologists have argued that the urban environment is actually a good candidate for re-creating semi-natural meadows, since these nutrient-poor grasslands prefer ... -
Evaluation of the aquatic bryophyte Fontinalis antipyretica for laboratory and field toxicity studies
(Master thesis, 2021)Fontinalis antipyretica is an ecologically important aquatic moss in boreal streams. Bioassays using this species provide information of effects at the base of the food chain. The present study assessed toxicological effects ... -
Evaluering av en kompakt enhet for primær og sekundær rensing av gråvann
(Master thesis, 2019)Vann er en forutsetning for alt liv på jorden. Det er også en begrenset ressurs. Teknologi som muliggjør redusert vannforbruk, samt løsninger for gjenbruk av vann, er derfor et svært aktuelt tema. Dersom avløpsvannet fra ... -
Evaluering av fuktighetskart som hjelpemiddel for å redusere kjøreskader ved mekanisert hogst
(Master thesis, 2016-09-02)Kjøreskader i skogbunnen som et resultat av dagens konvensjonelle skogbruk, hvor hogst utføres med hogstmaskin og framkjøring av tømmer til velteplass foregår med lassbærer, er et kjent problem både miljømessig og økonomisk ... -
Evaluering av fysiske miljøtiltak og miljøeffekter på yngeltetthet av sjøørret (Salmo trutta) i 13 bekker i Verdal kommune
(Master thesis, 2021)Inngrep i bekker og elver i forbindelse med infrastruktur og jordbruk, kan medføre vandringsproblemer og uegnet habitat for anadrom laksefisk. Tiltak for å forbedre bekkehabitater og gjenopprette vandringsmulighetene mellom ... -
Evaluering av fysiske tiltak og miljøeffekter på yngeltetthet hos sjøørret (Salmo trutta) i Verdalsvassdragets sidebekker
(Master thesis, 2019)Vandringshindre og forringelse av habitat oppstår ofte i forbindelse med utbygging av infrastruktur og aktivt jordbruk. Dette kan føre til uegnet habitat for sjøørreten (Salmo trutta), eller at muligheten til å fullføre ... -
Evaluering av gravedrifter med fokus på driftsveitetthet
(Master thesis, 2015-08-05)Et meget stort og stadig økende volum hogstmoden skog står i terreng som er så bratt at det ikke kan avvirkes på tradisjonelt vis med hjulgående maskiner. Tidligere var taubane den vanligste metoden brukt i slikt terreng, ... -
Evaluering av modeller for antall årringer i kjerneved og diameter i kjerneved i furu (Pinus sylvestri L.)
(Master thesis, 2022)Kjerneved fra furu (Pinus Sylvestris) er et materiale som er naturlig holdbart og motstandsdyktig mot biologisk nedbrytning. Dette er en fordel ved at man kan produsere trelast som kan tåle litt fuktighet, uten at man ... -
Experimental warming increased insect herbivory in an alpine dryas heath at Finse, Norway
(Master thesis, 2013-09-23)Alpine ecosystems are particularly expected to experience changes due to temperature rise, but little is known how insect herbivory may respond to that process. I used two already established study sites at different ... -
Experimentally testing the effect of increased temperature on senescence rate of three plant species utilized by the Svalbard reindeer
(Master thesis, 2023)The Arctic is experiencing the most rapid climate warming on earth. While the climate induced changes in spring have received a lot of attention, similar studies for the effects in autumn have been neglected. In this thesis ... -
Exploring challenges of visitor- generated waste in Lofotodden National Park
(Master thesis, 2022)Norway has many scenic and pristine national parks which are desired destinations for foreign and domestic tourists. More visits are encouraged into the parks as they bring local value creation, prompting management to ... -
