NIBIO contributes to new European network for monitoring soil erosion

Published 22.04.2026

The EU-funded project EUROSION aims to establish a shared system for monitoring and modelling soil erosion across Europe. The goal is to improve knowledge of the extent, development and drivers of soil erosion, thereby providing a stronger basis for more targeted mitigation measures in agriculture.

CO₂ emissions from cultivated peat soils may be lower than assumed

Published 15.04.2026

Cultivated peat soils are considered a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions in Norway’s national greenhouse gas inventory reported under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. A new study now suggests that the current calculation method may overestimate CO₂ emissions, particularly in areas with relatively high groundwater levels.

Biochar has limited effect on potato yields – but may improve soil and climate

Published 10.04.2026

Biochar has little effect on increasing potato yields under Norwegian conditions. Nevertheless, it may contribute to better soil health and a lower climate footprint over time, according to a new report from NIBIO.
