Infiltrasjon av urbant overvann i grøntanlegg
(Master thesis, 2018)Climate change and urbanization cause an increase in storm water. Sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) are in focus to overcome the problem, where green areas can play an important role as infiltration areas. Infiltration ... -
Drivers for phytoplankton community dominance of nuisance microalga Gonyostomum semen (Ehrenberg) Diesing in two South-Eastern Norwegian lakes : a paleolimnological approach
(Master thesis, 2018)Gonyostomum semen (Ehr.) Diesing has during the last decades expanded its distribution and increasingly started to dominate phytoplankton communities in Northern Europe, and particularly in Scandinavia. Several studies ... -
Parental and individual variation of growth traits and wood density in a progeny trial after a complete diallel crossing of 9 Silver birch (Betula pendula) trees in south-eastern Norway
(Master thesis, 2018)In a progeny trial after a complete diallel crossing of nine Silver birch (Betula pendula Roth.) trees, both quality and growth traits were studied after 40 years. Quality and growth traits were dependant on competition ... -
Interpretasjon : vegar til verdiskaping

Improvement of the environmental situation in a school by integrating water and sanitation with school farming : a case study of schools in the districts of Chitwan and Kavre, Nepal
(Master thesis, 2018)Nepal is one of the poorest developing countries in Asia. Political tension and nature disasters has severely stunted development the last few decades. At the same time, modernization trends from the western world are ... -
Utprøving av ny metode for kvantifisering av mikroplast i biogjødsel
(Master thesis, 2018)Denne masteroppgaven tar for seg problemstillinger knyttet til analyse av mikroplast i prøver med høyt innhold av organisk materiale. Bioresten fra storskala biogassanlegg benyttes til produksjon av biogjødsel. Biogjødsel ... -
Concentration ratios for radionuclides and stable analogues in Rogaland, Norway
(Master thesis, 2018)Norway may be exposed to radioactive deposition from several potential sources due to the country`s geographical location and meteorological conditions (Bartnicki et al., 2016; Klein & Bartnicki, 2018) and it has been ... -
Naturskogsbegrepet i "Natur i Norge" (NiN) og sammenheng med målt epifyttisk lavbiomasse
(Master thesis, 2018)Mer enn 40 % av Norges landareal er dekket av skog og omtrent 60% av alle landets kjente arter er knyttet til dette biomet. Skogbruk har vært en viktig næring i landet i lengre tid, og skogbruket i Norge og Fennoskandia ... -
Development in phytoplankton assemblages, ecological status and purification effect in Teglverksdammen : a study of a pond the first two growth seasons following deculverting of an urban stream system in Oslo, Norway
(Master thesis, 2018)There is growing consensus that deculverting and restoration of buried urban streams may come with a range of ecological and socioeconomic benefits, including; reduced flood risks, improved water quality, facilitation of ... -
Coupling between nitrate input and phosphorus retention in lake sediments : a case study from Lake Årungen
(Master thesis, 2018)Cultural eutrophication represents one of the greatest threats to freshwater systems, with lowland streams and lakes being especially vulnerable in areas that receive an increased supply of nutrients from human activity. ... -
Behavioral responses to olfactory attractants at camera traps : a study of three carnivores in a boreal ecosystem
(Master thesis, 2018)Camera trapping is an efficient and minimally invasive method for studying wildlife ecology and behavior. In camera trap studies, it is important to consider the detection probability to get reliable estimates of e.g. ... -
