New microsatellite loci for the green sea urchin Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis using universal M13 labelled markers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014) -
New production across the shelf-edge in the northeastern North Sea during the stratified summer period
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)New production of organic matter from photosynthesis based on “new” nitrate transported into the illuminated surface layer fuels temperate ecosystems during periods of stratification when surface waters are nutrient limited. ... -
Nitrate respiration occurs throughout the depth of mucoid and non-mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa submerged agar colony biofilms including the oxic zone
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen and well characterized biofilm former. P. aeruginosa forms strong oxygen gradients inside biofilms due to rapid oxygen respiration in the top layers and the poor solubility ... -
Nitrous Oxide Dynamics in the Siberian Arctic Ocean and Vulnerability to Climate Change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a strong greenhouse gas and stratospheric ozone-depleting substance. Around 20% of global emissions stem from the ocean, but current estimates and future projections are uncertain due to poor spatial ... -
No additional stress of sublethal gas supersaturation in a landlocked population of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) exposed to environmental acidification
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The landlocked Atlantic salmon population “bleke” faces extinction due to environmental acidification (EA) and hydropower expansion in the Norwegian river Otra. Despite of restoration, unexpected mortality has been reported ... -
No environmental effect on vaccine-induced reduced growth in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar smolts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Oil-adjuvanted vaccines reduce long-term growth in farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, possibly via an increase in metabolic rate due to the energetic demands of the immune system. We tested this hypothesis by comparing ... -
No evidence of a protective or cumulative negative effect of UV-B on growth inhibition induced by gamma radiation in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) seedlings
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Exposure to ambient UV-B radiation may prime protective responses towards various stressors in plants, though information about interactive effects of UV-B and gamma radiation is scarce. Here, we aimed to test whether UV-B ... -
Non-woven polypropylene fabric modified with carbon nanotubes and decorated with nanoakaganeite for arsenite removal
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Due to its harmful impact on human health, the presence of heavy metals, metalloids and other toxic pollutants in drinking or irrigation water is a major concern. Recent studies have proved that nanosized adsorbents are ... -
NordAqua, a Nordic Center of Excellence to develop an algae-based photosynthetic production platform
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)NordAqua is a multidisciplinary Nordic Center of Excellence funded by NordForsk Bioeconomy program (2017–2022). The research center promotes Blue Bioeconomy and endeavours to reform the use of natural resources in a ... -
Nordic Blue Carbon Ecosystems: Status and Outlook
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Vegetated coastal and marine habitats in the Nordic region include salt marshes, eelgrass meadows and, in particular, brown macroalgae (kelp forests and rockweed beds). Such habitats contribute to storage of organic carbon ... -
The NORMAN Association and the European Partnership for Chemicals Risk Assessment (PARC): let’s cooperate!
(Others, 2020)The Partnership for Chemicals Risk Assessment (PARC) is currently under development as a joint research and innovation programme to strengthen the scientific basis for chemical risk assessment in the EU. The plan is to ... -
A novel method for the quantification of tire and polymer-modified bitumen particles in environmental samples by pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectroscopy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Tire and road wear particles may constitute the largest source of microplastic particles into the environment. Quantification of these particles are associated with large uncertainties which are in part due to inadequate ... -
De novo Development of a Quantitative Adverse Outcome Pathway (qAOP) Network for Ultraviolet B (UVB) Radiation Using Targeted Laboratory Tests and Automated Data Mining
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation is a natural non-chemical stressor posing potential hazards to organisms such as planktonic crustaceans. The present study was conducted to revisit the lethal effects of UVB on crustaceans, ... -
Nuisance growth of Juncus bulbosus: the roles of genetics and environmental drivers tested in a large-scale survey
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)1. Invasive species can transform aquatic ecosystems, and the nuisance growth of the freshwater macrophyte Juncus bulbosus has become a problem in many lakes and rivers in northern Europe. It affects biodiversity strongly ... -
Nutrient criteria for surface waters under the European Water Framework Directive: Current state-of-the-art, challenges and future outlook
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The aim of European water policy is to achieve good ecological status in all rivers, lakes, coastal and transitional waters by 2027. Currently, more than half of water bodies are in a degraded condition and nutrient ... -
Nutrient retention by the littoral vegetation of a large lake: Can Lake Ohrid cope with current and future loading?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Nitrogen and phosphorus budgets were compiled for the littoral (29 km2) and pelagic (329 km2) of ancient, deep, clear, and hard water Lake Ohrid (Albania and North Macedonia), to assess the importance of the littoral in ... -
Observation of Floating Inorganic Macro-debris in The Downstream Citarum River using Manual Counting
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Inorganic Macro-debris (IMD) such as plastics can negatively affect aquatic life and human wellbeing. Information about IMD transport in river systems is required to optimize prevention, mitigation, and reduction strategies. ... -
Observations of turbulence caused by a combination of tides and mean baroclinic flow over a fjord sill
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)This study investigates the dissipation rates and flow conditions at the Drøbak Sill in the Oslofjord. The area was transected 13 times with a free-falling microstructure shear probe during 4 days in June 2011. At the same ... -
Observing Temporally Varying Synoptic-Scale Total Alkalinity and Dissolved Inorganic Carbon in the Arctic Ocean
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The long-term absorption by the oceans of atmospheric carbon dioxide is leading to the slow decline of ocean pH, a process termed ocean acidification (OA). The Arctic is a challenging region to gather enough data to examine ... -
