Assessment of risk and risk-reducing measures related to the introduction and dispersal of the invasive alien carpet tunicate Didemnum vexillum in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Didemnum vexillum is colonial sea squirt, a marine species which originates from the northwest Pacific; it was first recorded in Norway in November 2020. Didemnum vexillum is an alien species, meaning that it is a species ... -
Assessment of risks to drinking water provision in Glitrevann from forest fertilization and harvesting
(NIVA-rapport;7458, Research report, 2020)Forest fertilization is planned in the Glitre catchment, an important drinking water source for the Drammen region. In this report, we explore whether fertilization is likely to put drinking water provision in the catchment ... -
Assessment of seasonal variability of input of microplastics from the Northern Dvina River to the Arctic Ocean
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Northern Dvina River is one of the largest rivers in the European Arctic flowing into the White Sea through the populated regions with developed industry. Floating plastics include microplastics (0.5–5 mm) and mesoplastics ... -
Assessment of the risk to Norwegian biodiversity from private import and keeping of Northern Cardinal. Scientific Opinion of the Panel on Biodiversity of the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)VKM has evaluated the risk to biodiversity from allowing private import and keeping of the Northern Cardinal as a caged bird in Norway, for birds acquired through the bird trade. VKM has reviewed the invasion ecology of ... -
Assessment of the risks posed by domestic cats (Felis catus) to biodiversity and animal welfare in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)VKM has evaluated to what extent keeping of cats pose a risk to biodiversity in Norway. Risks were assessed separately for threats to biodiversity from direct predation, indirect (non-lethal) effects, competition with other ... -
Associations Between Behavioral Effects of Bisphenol A and DNA Methylation in Zebrafish Embryos
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Endocrine-disrupting contaminants have been associated with aberrant changes in epigenetic pathways in animals. In this study, zebrafish embryos were exposed bisphenol A (BPA) to search for associations between behavior ... -
Associations between timing and magnitude of spring blooms and zooplankton dynamics in the southwestern Barents Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)During the past decades, many high-latitude marine systems have experienced a strong warming trend with poorly understood consequences for trophic coupling and ecosystem functioning. A key knowledge gap is how timing and ... -
Assuring the integrity of offshore carbon dioxide storage
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Carbon capture and storage is a key mitigation strategy proposed for keeping the global temperature rise below 1.5 °C. Offshore storage can provide up to 13% of the global CO2 reduction required to achieve the Intergovernmental ... -
Atmospheric deposition and lateral transport of mercury in Norwegian drainage basins: A mercury budget for Norway
(NIVA-rapport;7310, Research report, 2018)Reduced atmospheric loading of mercury (Hg) can improve the environmental status of freshwaters and coastal ecosystems. Sparse data limit impact assessments of changes in atmospheric Hg on aquatic ecosystems. Here, a Hg ... -
Autonomous Surface and Underwater Vehicles as Effective Ecosystem Monitoring and Research Platforms in the Arctic—The Glider Project
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Effective ocean management requires integrated and sustainable ocean observing systems enabling us to map and understand ecosystem properties and the effects of human activities. Autonomous subsurface and surface vehicles, ... -
Bacterial bioindicators enable biological status classification along the continental Danube river
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Despite the importance of bacteria in aquatic ecosystems and their predictable diversity patterns across space and time, biomonitoring tools for status assessment relying on these organisms are widely lacking. This is ... -
Bago River Sub-basin Management Plan
(NIVA-rapport;7290, Research report, 2018)The report presents the “Bago River Sub-basin Management Plan” a plan which has been prepared by the Bago River Sub-basin Committee, with input from the Bago Non-governmental Stakeholder Group during the period of 2016 - ... -
Balancing conservation goals and ecotourism development in coastal wetland management in Sri Lanka: A choice experiment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Understanding the tradeoff between tourism development and environmental conservation is essential for the sustainable management of ecotourism. Accordingly, we conducted a choice experiment (CE) using valuation workshops ... -
A baseline study of the occurrence of non-indigenous species in Danish harbours
(NIVA-rapport;7769-2022, Research report, 2022)We report the first ever nation-wide study of the occurrence of non-indigenous species in Danish harbours. The sampling was car-ried out using both conventional and biomolecular methods (eDNA). In total, 16 harbours were ... -
Battle of the borders: Is a range-extending fiddler crab affecting the spatial niche of a congener species?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Climate change is drastically altering environmental conditions and resource availability. Many organisms are shifting their distribution boundaries. Fiddler crabs, for instance, are important ecosystem engineers in coastal ... -
A Bayesian Approach to Incorporating Spatiotemporal Variation and Uncertainty Limits into Modeling of Predicted Environmental Concentrations from Chemical Monitoring Campaigns
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Environmental monitoring studies provide key information to assess ecosystem health. Results of chemical monitoring campaigns can be used to identify the exposure scenarios of regulatory concern. In environmental risk ... -
A Bayesian Belief Network learning tool integrates multi-scale effects of riparian buffers on stream invertebrates
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Riparian forest buffers have multiple benefits for biodiversity and ecosystem services in both freshwater and terrestrial habitats but are rarely implemented in water ecosystem management, partly reflecting the lack of ... -
Beach litter sources around Nuuk, Greenland: An analysis by UArctic summer school graduate course students
