Landscape features control river's confluences water quality and tributary fish composition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Rivers networks represent hierarchical dendritic habitats within terrestrial landscapes and differences in connectivity and land use influence dispersal, and consequently biodiversity patterns. We, therefore, measured ... -
Large-scale monitoring and risk assessment of microplastics in the Amazon River
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Microplastics (MPs) are one of the most widespread contaminants worldwide, yet their risks for freshwater ecosystems have seldom been investigated. In this study, we performed a large monitoring campaign to assess the ... -
Large-scale salmon farming in Norway impacts the epiphytic community of Laminaria hyperborea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Large-scale finfish farms are increasingly located in dispersive hard-bottom environments where Laminaria hyperborea forests dominate; however, the interactions between farm effluents and kelp forests are poorly understood. ... -
Larvae drift simulations of the Pacific oyster in Skagerrak – influence of climate change on larvae development, survival and dispersal
(NIVA-rapport;7016, Research report, 2016)We have investigated the extent to which warmer climate in recent years has led to greater opportunities for successful spreading of Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) larvae from Danish and Swedish coastal areas to Norway, ... -
Lead Sources to the Amundsen Sea, West Antarctica
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The global prevalence of industrial lead (Pb) contamination was exemplified decades ago by the predominance of anthropogenic Pb in samples of Antarctic surface ice and in Southern Ocean surface waters. Decreases in ... -
Leaf breakdown rates as a functional indicator were influenced by an invasive non-native invertebrate in urban ponds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Impacts on biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems are often overlooked in small waterbodies as they are not regularly monitored as part of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). These small systems are, however, often ... -
‘Leaving No One Behind’–Sustainable Development of Sámi Reindeer Husbandry in Norway
(Chapter, 2022)Within pastoral systems there is deep knowledge of the dynamics of the landscape and nature; and the Sámi traditional reindeer herding understanding of sustainable reindeer husbandry holds adaptive mechanisms for dealing ... -
Legacy and Emerging Contaminants in Demersal Fish Species from Southern Norway and Implications for Food Safety
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The present study aimed at measuring the levels of legacy and emerging contaminants in fillet samples from four demersal fish caught in two fishing sites from Southern Norway, in order to assess possible implications for ... -
Lessons from bright-spots for advancing knowledge exchange at the interface of marine science and policy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Evidence-informed decision-making is in increasing demand given growing pressures on marine environments. A way to facilitate this is by knowledge exchange among marine scientists and decision-makers. While many barriers ... -
Levelling-up rhodolith-bed science to address global-scale conservation challenges
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Global marine conservation remains fractured by an imbalance in research efforts and policy actions, limiting progression towards sustainability. Rhodolith beds represent a prime example, as they have ecological importance ... -
Levels and trends of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances in the Arctic environment – An update
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are important environmental contaminants globally and in the early 2000s they were shown to be ubiquitous contaminants in Arctic wildlife. Previous reviews by Butt et al. and ... -
Levels and trends of tributyltin (TBT) and imposex in dogwhelk (Nucella lapillus) along the Norwegian coastline from 1991 to 2017
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The banning of organotin biocides, such as tributyltin (TBT), from use in marine antifouling paints is now leading to reproductive health recovery in marine gastropod populations all over the world. TBT induces socalled ... -
Levels of nitramines and nitrosamines in lake drinking water close to a CO2 capture plant: A modelling perspective
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)While CO2 capture is considered a key climate change mitigation option, we must ensure that global implementation occurs without causing harm to the local environment and the human health. The most mature option for capture ... -
Light acclimation in submerged macrophytes: The roles of plant elongation, pigmentation and branch orientation differ among Chara species
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Light acclimation plays a fundamental role for plant survival. Using an experimental setup where light could only penetrate from above, we studied light acclimation of Chara intermedia and C. contraria, i.e. submerged ... -
Limitations and Uncertainties of Acute Fish Toxicity Assessments Can Be Reduced Using Alternative Methods
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Information about acute fish toxicity is routinely required in many jurisdictions for environmental risk assessment of chemicals. This information is typically obtained using a 96-hour juvenile fish test for lethality ... -
Line ferries and cargo ships for the monitoring of marine contaminants of emerging concern: Application along a Europe-Arctic transect
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Contaminants of emerging concern (CEC) are a focus in marine protection. Several CECs are released with wastewater effluents to coastal environments and their offshore occurrence has been recently documented. Routine ... -
Linking mode of action of the model respiratory and photosynthesis uncoupler 3,5-dichlorophenol to adverse outcomes in Lemna minor
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Standard chemical toxicity testing guidelines using aquatic plant Lemna minor have been developed by several international standardisation organisations. Although being highly useful for regulatory purposes by focusing on ... -
Lipid metabolism in Calanus finmarchicus is sensitive to variations in predation risk and food availability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Late developmental stages of the marine copepods in the genus Calanus can spend extended periods in a dormant stage (diapause) that is preceded by the accumulation of large lipid stores. We assessed how lipid metabolism ... -
