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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Linking behavior to diet in Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) by use of DNA metabarcoding and GPS-telemetry
(Master thesis, 2019)Optimal foraging theory (OFT) provides a framework to link diet quality to behaviour for animals, usually for species where each food items compose a substantial part of the daily energy need, like carnivores or insectivorous ... -
Linking high frequency GPS data with multiscale habitat selection : a study of an adaptable carnivore in a fragmented landscape
(Master thesis, 2019)BACKGROUND: The expansion of human activity has had a significant impact on wildlife. Some of these effects are challenging to observe, especially in the case of illusive and nocturnal carnivores. GPS technology offers ... -
Livelihood and home garden improvements : strategies to reduce destructive fuelwood harvests from the Manas National Park, India
(Master thesis, 2018)Fuelwood is the primary energy source for cooking in rural India. Natural forests in protected areas are often accessed by local people to collect this resource. However, the extraction of wood destructs forests, threatens ... -
Livsløpsanalyse av to regionalnettstrekninger i Agder, med fokus på materialbruk, klimagassutslipp og arealbruk
(Master thesis, 2023)Klimaendringer er en av nåtidens største utfordringer, og det er en forventning i samfunnet at verdier skal skapes på en bærekraftig måte. Et viktig tiltak for å nå nasjonale klimamål er elektrifisering, og et robust og ... -
Livsløpsvurdering av tomatproduksjon i Norge : hvordan vil klima- og miljøpåvirkninger endres ved bruk av biogassressurser?
(Master thesis, 2018)Produksjon av biogass gir energi i form av biogass og et næringsrikt gjødselprodukt i form av biogjødsel. I tillegg arbeides det med å finne aktuelle bruksområder for CO2, som er et biprodukt fra oppgraderingen av biogass ... -
Lokale, regionale, og nasjonale aktørers perspektiver og prioriteringer om villreinforvaltning i Snøhetta villreinområde
(Master thesis, 2023)Sammendrag Kvalitetsnorm for villrein av 2022 ga resultatet middels kvalitet i fire av ti nasjonale villreinområder, og dårlig kvalitet i de seks resterende (Rolandsen et al., 2022). Én av tre delnormer omhandler leveområder ... -
Long term biological effects of ionizing radiation on the eye development in gamma-irradiated Atlantic salmon embryos
(Master thesis, 2021)Organisms are at their most sensitive to ionizing radiation during the embryonic life stage, and the eye is one of the most sensitive tissues. High proliferation-rate, cell-differentiation and embryonic development depend ... -
Long term effects of clearcutting on litterfall and understory vegetation in boreal spruce forests in Norway
(Master thesis, 2022)Boreal forests capture and store substantial amounts of carbon in a global perspective, and the soil is especially important acting like a long-term reservoir of captured atmospheric CO2. Most of the soil carbon originates ... -
Long-range pollution and historic climate and element trends in an 1100-year lake sediment record from the remote lake Sarsvatnet, Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2022)Although remote, the Arctic is influenced by long-range pollution from lower latitudes. Lake sediments are sensitive to minor environmental changes, and thus accumulated heavy metals and organic substitutes can represent ... -
Long-term changes in the bird community in urban green spaces in Oslo, Norway
(Master thesis, 2022)Urban areas are becoming increasingly dominant worldwide, and studies of long-term trends in urban bird populations are necessary to evaluate the impact cities have on wildlife and the ecosystem function upon which humans ... -
Long-term effects of clear-cut forestry on predation of artificial caterpillars in boreal forests of southeastern Norway
(Master thesis, 2023)Predator-prey interactions are one of the key ecological interactions contributing to ecosystem structure and stability within complex forest ecosystems. Intact forest ecosystems contain high abundances and diversity of ... -
Long-term effects of clear-cut forestry on beetle community diversity in boreal forests of southeastern Norway
(Master thesis, 2022)Forest management regimes have led to global biodiversity declines. Norwegian boreal spruce-forests have been negatively impacted by clear-cutting for the last 70 years, a practice which shifts structural conditions of a ... -
Long-term effects of clear-cut forestry on beetle species richness and abundance in Norwegian boreal forests
(Master thesis, 2023)For the last approximately 70 years, clear-cutting has been the common method in Scandinavian forestry. Since more than half of the Scandinavian species live in the forest, this intensive forestry method has caused concern ... -
Long-term experimental warming in an alpine heath : decrease in cover of the most abundant bryophytes
