Carbon storage in grasslands Published 17.07.2021 Grasslands and pastures are efficient for carbon storage, but management practises can affect their storage ability.
Varying fertilizer effect in fish sludge Published 06.07.2021 The fertilizer effect of fish sludge varies more than previously thought. In order to make the best possible use of waste resources from the aquaculture industry, it is important to ascertain the quality of the sludge first.
Anadromous Arctic charr as climate indicator Published 23.06.2021 Northern populations of Arctic charr can be anadromous, migrating regularly to the ocean in search of food before it returns to freshwater to spawn. However, the species does not thrive in warm water. Researchers are now studying how the anadromous Arctic charr is adapting to higher water temperatures.
Forests resilience against snow and storms Published 19.06.2021 Climate change may result in improved forest growth. At the same time, the extent of storm damages and top breakage from heavy snow loads seem to be increasing. To obtain more resilient forests in the future, tailored forest management is needed.
Producing more Norwegian plant protein Published 12.06.2021 There is an increasing interest in using protein plants for both food and animal feed. Maximizing use of the potential would result in an annual production of about 20,000 metric tons of protein from legumes in Norway. To make the most of this potential, there is a need for adapted varieties and cultivation techniques.
Yellow larvae in potato crops reduce yields Published 05.06.2021 Potato crop loss caused by wireworms is on the rise in Norway and abroad. But there are few good strategies to fight the pest. New research will provide more knowledge.
Norwegian herbs - a new, green value chain? Published 03.06.2021 Plants grown in Nordic regions contain a high level of bioactive compounds. Could these compounds be used as a healthy feed additive or biodegradable packaging?
Tributaries affect lake Mjøsa’s water quality Published 19.05.2021 The water quality of Norway’s largest lake has been good for several years, but now action must be taken to prevent the ecological conditions in Lake Mjøsa from declining.
Plant parasitic nematodes harm pineapple crop yields in Kenya Published 10.05.2021 A new study indicates there is a high level of infection from plant parasitic nematodes in pineapple in Kenya, contributing to low yields. Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) cause significant yield reduction in commercial pineapple worldwide.
Why soil protection is vital Published 07.05.2021 Soil protection is a matter of national food security, microbiology and carbon storage, climate adaptation and much more. Everything must be taken into account to ensure sustainable development.
Tailored measures to improve soil Published 30.04.2021 In the SOILCARE research project, scientists have worked to find solutions to the challenges facing Europe's soil resources.
New invasive fungus on pine trees in Norway Published 27.04.2021 Diplodia sapinea is an alien, invasive fungus that damage conifers. Pines are particularly vulnerable, and the fungus has caused significant losses for forestry and nurseries in Southern Europe. In August 2020, a serious outbreak caused by this fungus was discovered in Norway.
