FORESIGHT: Forest opportunities, risks and ecosystem services in a changing climate in Norway

Forest ecosystems are increasingly under pressure from climate change, emerging pests and pathogens, and more frequent extreme weather events. When such disturbances occur simultaneously—or interact with one another—the risk of severe damage can increase substantially. The FORESIGHT project aims to understand these complex, interacting challenges and to translate this knowledge into practical applications.

SUSDOCK: Sustainable control of docks (Rumex spp.) – Synergies of detection, mapping and innovative weed control

Broad-leaved dock (Rumex obtusifolius) and curled dock (Rumex crispus) are some of the most problematic weed species in grasslands worldwide; joined, in Norway and the rest of Northern Europe, by the far less studied northern dock (Rumex longifolius).

IPM-fruit: IPM strategies for future fruit production

IPM fruit will investigate how preventive and alternative control measures can be used for sustainable fruit production. The project will study how natural enemies, physical control, and biologicals as well as combinations of these can be best applied under Norwegian conditions. The project will be carried out in collaboration with the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU), the Norwegian advisory service (NLR), NIAB East Malling (UK), IRTA (Sapin), and also in close collaboration with fruit growers.
