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
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Fem ulike metoder for hydromorfologisk karakterisering og klassifisering av elver ble testet ut for utvalgte vannforekomster i Surna (35 km) og Gudbrandsdalslågen (15 km), for å teste hvorvidt de er egnet for utvikling av ... -
Kelp carbon sink potential decreases with warming due to accelerating decomposition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Cycling of organic carbon in the ocean has the potential to mitigate or exacerbate global climate change, but major questions remain about the environmental controls on organic carbon flux in the coastal zone. Here, we ... -
Kelp forest distribution in the Nordic region
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Kelp forests are productive coastal ecosystems that provide a range of ecosystem services. Mapping the distribution and area occupied by kelp forests is a critical step to identify their ecosystem functions and services, ... -
Kinetics and Size Effects on Adsorption of Cu(II), Cr(III), and Pb(II) Onto Polyethylene, Polypropylene, and Polyethylene Terephthalate Microplastic Particles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Due to its small size, large specific surface area and hydrophobicity, microplastics, and the adsorbed contaminants may together cause potential negative effects on ecosystems and human beings. In this study, kinetics and ... -
Knowledge graph embedding for ecotoxicological effect prediction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Exploring the effects of a chemical compound on a species takes a considerable experimental effort. Appropriate methods for estimating and suggesting new effects can dramatically reduce the work needed to be done by a ... -
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
