Investing in Urban Blue–Green Infrastructure—Assessing the Costs and Benefits of Stormwater Management in a Peri-Urban Catchment in Oslo, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Cities are challenged by climate change impacts, such as extreme rainfall events that affect conventional urban water management systems via increased sewage water overflows resulting in water quality deterioration and ... -
Irrigation in the Tarim Basin, China: farmers’ response to changes in water pricing practices
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The extremely arid Tarim Basin in northwestern China is an important cotton and fruit production region. However, extensive agricultural land reclamation combined with unreasonable water use in recent decades resulted in ... -
Is Glacial Meltwater a Secondary Source of Legacy Contaminants to Arctic Coastal Food Webs?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Climate change-driven increases in air and sea temperatures are rapidly thawing the Arctic cryosphere with potential for remobilization and accumulation of legacy persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in adjacent coastal ... -

Is It or Isn’t It: The Importance of Visual Classification in Microplastic Characterization.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Microplastics are a diverse category of pollutants, comprising a range of constituent polymers modified by varying quantities of additives and sorbed pollutants, and exhibiting a range of morphologies, sizes, and visual ... -
Is the impact of eutrophication on phytoplankton diversity dependent on lake volume/ecosystem size?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Research focusing on biodiversity responses to the interactions of ecosystem size and anthropogenic stressors are based mainly on correlative gradient studies, and may therefore confound size-stress relationships due to ... -
Isoëtes sabatina (Isoëtaceae, Lycopodiopsida): Taxonomic distinctness and preliminary ecological insights
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Isoëtes sabatina is the rarest aquatic quillwort in Europe. Although recently found (2013) in Lake Bracciano (central Italy), the species is just one step away from extinction with an estimated population not exceeding 400 ... -
Isolation and Extraction of Microplastics from Environmental Samples: An Evaluation of Practical Approaches and Recommendations for Further Harmonisation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Researchers have been identifying microplastics in environmental samples dating back to the 1970s. Today, microplastics are a recognized environmental pollutant attracting a large amount of public and government attention, ... -
Isotopic niche differs between seal and fish-eating killer whales (Orcinus orca) in northern Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Ecological diversity has been reported for killer whales (Orcinus orca) throughout the North Atlantic but patterns of prey specialization have remained poorly understood. We quantify interindividual dietary variations in ... -
Joint effort among research infrastructures to quantify the impact of plastic debris in the ocean
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Marine debris is one of the most significant problems facing the marine environment, endangering wildlife, polluting oceans and is an issue which holds global significance. Plastics constitute a large proportion of marine ... -
Juncus bulbosus nuisance growth in oligotrophic freshwater ecosystems: Different triggers for the same phenomenon in rivers and lakes?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Since the 1980s nuisance growth of the aquatic macrophyte Juncus bulbosus has been observed in an increasing number of rivers and lakes in Europe. Freshwater acidification, lake liming, as well as the impact of hydropower ... -
Juncus Bulbosus Tissue Nutrient Concentrations and Stoichiometry in Oligotrophic Ecosystems: Variability with Seasons, Growth Forms, Organs and Habitats
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Aquatic plant nutrient concentrations provide important information to characterise their role in nutrient retention and turnover in aquatic ecosystems. While large standing biomass of aquatic plants is typically found in ... -
Juvenile hormone synthesis and signaling disruption triggering male offspring induction and population decline in cladocerans (water flea): Review and adverse outcome pathway development
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Juvenile hormone (JH) are a family of multifunctional hormones regulating larval development, molting, metamorphosis, reproduction, and phenotypic plasticity in arthropods. Based on its importance in arthropod life histories, ... -
Kan informasjon om bløtbunnssamfunn og modeller for geofysiske forhold gi heldekkende kart over naturtilstanden i norske kystvann?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Artsmangfold og sammensetning av dyr i marine sedimenter (bløtbunnsfauna) er spesielt egnet for å måle miljøets tilstand, fordi ulike typer partikkelbundet forurensning før eller senere når havbunnen. Indekser på artsmangfold ... -
Kartlegging av hydromorfologi i norske elver - erfaringer med ulike metoder i Surna og Gudbrandsdalslågen
