Plastics in biota: technological readiness level of current methodologies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Plastics are persistent in the environment and may be ingested by organisms where they may cause physical harm or release plastic additives. Monitoring is a crucial mechanism to assess the risk of plastics to the marine ... -
Recapturing sludge from Atlantic salmon production in closed containment systems in the sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The ability to collect waste feed and faeces from closed aquaculture systems in the sea (CCS) has been highlighted as an environmental advantage. Theoretical sludge collection efficiencies are available, yet efficiencies ... -
Passive sampling in support of biota monitoring of hydrophobic substances under the Water Framework Directive
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)This paper presents an approach to apply aquatic passive sampling (PS) in regulatory chemical water quality monitoring in Europe. Absorption-based passive sampling is well developed and suitable for the sampling of hydrophobic ... -
Getting the errors right: The importance of partitioning sources of uncertainty for ecological indicators
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Environmental policies such as the Water Framework Directive (WFD) requires that the confidence of ecological status assessments should be reported. Such assessments are typically based on aggregating several ecological ... -
Hindringer og mulige løsninger for å ta i bruk vannmiljøtiltak i jordbruksdominerte nedbørfelt
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Jordbruket står overfor en rekke utfordringer knyttet til vannkvalitet og kvantitet, som ero sjon, avrenning av næringsstoffer, flom og tørke. Disse problemene vil øke med klimaendringene. Redusert jordarbeiding, grasdekte ... -
SOLA: dissecting dose-response patterns in multi-omics data using a semi-supervised workflow
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)An increasing number of ecotoxicological studies have used omics-data to understand the dose-response patterns of environmental stressors. However, very few have investigated complex non-monotonic dose-response patterns ... -
Individual patterns of anadromy determine the cost of salmon lice exposure in brown trout
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Facultative anadromous salmonids may alter migratory behavior to mitigate against detrimental infections of aquaculture-derived salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis); however, this likely incurs negative growth and fitness ... -
Competition, payment and flexible trust on a Sierra Leonean fishing boat
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)This article analyses a competitive payment practice common aboard artisanal fishing boats in Sierra Leone. The competition for payment between crew members on board fishing boats complicates common discursive claims about ... -
Er det mulig å enkelt skille effekter av klimaendringer og nedgang i sur nedbør på trender i vannkjemi?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Studien undersøker om trender i klimavariablene nedbør, avrenning, temperatur og faktisk evapo- transpirasjon (AET) kan forklare endringer i vannkjemi i 78 norske innsjøer fra 1990 til 2020. AET har økt signifikant i nesten ... -
A systematic review on the use of food web models for addressing the social and economic consequences of fisheries policies and environmental change
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Fisheries are complex systems. Food web models are increasingly being used to study the ecological consequences of fisheries policies and environmental change on such systems around the world. Nonetheless, these consequences ... -
The marine methane cycle in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago during summer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)In the Arctic Ocean, methane concentrations surpassing global averages are prevalent, especially along sub-Arctic and Arctic continental shelf margins. Despite elevated dissolved methane levels, the Arctic Ocean exhibits ... -
Low to moderate wave exposure did not impact blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) growth in a mesocosm study.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Little is known about the causes of the decline in blue mussel populations in the North Atlantic. If mussel beds are to be protected, and maybe even restored, we need knowledge about environmental conditions under which ... -
Microplastic fate in Arctic coastal waters: accumulation hotspots and role of rivers in Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Little is known about the role of remote and sparsely populated Arctic coastal zones in the microplastic cycle. Distribution of microplastics was studied in the Svalbard fjords in June – July 2022 with the main goal of ... -
Biodegradable microplastics induce profound changes in lettuce (Lactuca sativa) defense mechanisms and to some extent deteriorate growth traits
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The development of agricultural technologies has intensified the use of plastic in this sector. Products of plastic degradation, such as microplastics (MPs), potentially threaten living organisms, biodiversity and agricultural ... -
Priorities to inform research on tire particles and their chemical leachates: A collective perspective
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Concerns over the ecological impacts of urban road runoff have increased, partly due to recent research into the harmful impacts of tire particles and their chemical leachates. This study aimed to help the community of ... -
PFAS, PCBs, PCDD/Fs, PAHs and extractable organic fluorine in bio-based fertilizers, amended soils and plants: Exposure assessment and temporal trends
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Bio-based fertilizers (BBFs) produced from organic waste contribute to closed-loop nutrient cycles and circular agriculture. However, persistent organic contaminants, such as per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), ... -
Food Waste Governance Architectures in Europe: Actors, Steering Modes, and Harmonization Trends
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The scale of food waste across Europe is alarming, and its reduction is becoming an important public policy and governance issue. Sustainable Development Goal Target 12.3 constitutes a global attempt to galvanize system-level ... -
Biodiversity monitoring in Europe: User and policy needs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)To achieve the goals of the 2030 Global Biodiversity Framework, the European Biodiversity Strategy, and the EU Green Deal, biodiversity monitoring is critical. Monitoring efforts in Europe, however, suffer from gaps and ... -
Benthic diatom community response to the sudden rewetting of a coastal peatland
