Laboratory Development of an AI System for the Real-Time Monitoring of Water Quality and Detection of Anomalies Arising from Chemical Contamination
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Monitoring water quality is critical for mitigating risks to human health and the environment. It is also essential for ensuring high quality water-based and water-dependent products and services. The monitoring and detection ... -
Lack of sea urchin settlement may explain kelp forest recovery in overgrazed areas in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)In this study, we investigated whether failure of sea urchin recruitment can explain an ongoing phase shift from overgrazed, barren grounds to kelp forests along the coast of mid- Norway. Settlement of sea urchins on ... -
Lake browning counteracts cyanobacteria responses to nutrients: Evidence from phytoplankton dynamics in large enclosure experiments and comprehensive observational data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Lakes worldwide are affected by multiple stressors, including climate change. This includes massive loading of both nutrients and humic substances to lakes during extreme weather events, which also may disrupt thermal ... -
Land Use Change to Reduce Freshwater Nitrogen and Phosphorus will Be Effective Even with Projected Climate Change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Recent studies have demonstrated that projected climate change will likely enhance nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) loss from farms and farmland, with the potential to worsen freshwater eutrophication. Here, we investigate ... -
Land use contribution to spatiotemporal stream water and ecological quality: Implications for water resources management in peri-urban catchments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Climate change and intensifying agricultural production and urbanization are central factors driving the global freshwater biodiversity decline. To design sustainable green transition schemes and support urban planning, a ... -
Land-cover, climate and fjord morphology drive differences in organic matter and nutrient dynamics in two contrasting northern river-fjord systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Climate and land-use changes are leading to impacts on individual ecosystems as well as shifts in transfer dynamics between interconnected systems. At the land-ocean interface, changes in riverine inputs of organic matter ... -
Land-use change in a Nordic future towards bioeconomy: A methodological framework to compare and merge stakeholder and expert opinions on qualitative scenarios
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Future development of bioeconomy is expected to change land use in the Nordic countries in agriculture and forestry. The changes are likely to affect water quality due to changes in nutrient run-off. To explore possible ... -
Land-use dominates climate controls on nitrogen and phosphorus export from managed and natural Nordic headwater catchments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Agricultural, forestry‐impacted and natural catchments are all vectors of nutrient loading in the Nordic countries. Here, we present concentrations and fluxes of total nitrogen (totN) and phosphorus (totP) from 69 Nordic ... -
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 ...
