Publikasjoner

NIBIOs ansatte publiserer flere hundre vitenskapelige artikler og forskningsrapporter hvert år. Her finner du referanser og lenker til publikasjoner og andre forsknings- og formidlingsaktiviteter. Samlingen oppdateres løpende med både nytt og historisk materiale. For mer informasjon om NIBIOs publikasjoner, besøk NIBIOs bibliotek.

Tiltaksveilederen for jordbrukspåvirka vassdrag (http://www.bioforsk.no/tiltak) er utarbeidet for å bistå i arbeidet med å gjennomføre EUs Rammedirektiv for vann (RDV) i Norge. Målgruppen omfatter derfor først og fremst fylkesmenn og kommuner, men kan selvsagt benyttes av andre interesserte. Tiltaksveilederen er finansiert av Statens Landbruks Forvaltning (SLF), som også var initiativtager til prosjektet. Den er utarbeidet av Bioforsk, samt SLF (virkemidler) og Universitet for miljø og biovitenskap, UMB (økonomi). I forbindelse med arbeidet ble det opprettet en referansegruppe bestående av representanter fra Fylkesmenn, Landbrukskontoret, Direktoratet for naturforvaltning, Statens forurensingstilsyn og Statens landbruksforvaltning. Den offisielle nettsiden for gjennomføringen av Rammedirektivet for vann (RDV) i Norge er Vannportalen. På Vannportalen er det link til Hovedveilederen for tiltak, som gir en komplett gjennomgang av alle prosedyrer, rollefordelinger og tidsfrister for gjennomføring av tiltaksplaner.

Throughout the past few decades there has been a significant increase in TOC concentrations in several Norwegian lakes. Monitored lakes with limited or no buffer capacity (Chloride- and Sulphate-lakes), and especially the Sulphate-lakes (which have had a more pronounced decline in ionic strength related to the reduced anthropogenic acid components in precipitation), have had a significantly percentage increase in TOC concentrations throughout the past 15 yrs. Lakes with some buffer capacity (ANC-lakes) have not had a significant percentage increase in TOC concentrations throughout the same period.

Lack of winter hardiness is a major limitation to the use of perennial types of annual bluegrass (Poa annua L. f. reptans (Hauskins) T. Koyama) on golf course putting greens in northern climates. Our objectives were 1) to assess the tolerance of 13 promising selections of greens-type annual bluegrass to simulated ice encasement and pink snow mold (causal fungus Microdochium nivale  (Fr.) Samuels & I.C. Hallett);  2) to determine if these tolerances are interrelated or related to plant concentrations of water soluble carbohydrates (WSC); and 3) to determine if differential tolerance to SIE is associated with accumulation of toxic substances. Samples of the annual bluegrass selections were taken from an experimental putting green at University Park, PA, on four dates from 23 Nov. 2005 until 27 Mar. 2006.  Samples of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) ‘Penn A-4" were included for comparison with annual bluegrass in studies on simulated ice encasement and water soluble carbohydrate. Samples were vacuum-sealed in plastic bags at 1ºC for simulated ice encasement. The critical exposure periods for annual bluegrass and creeping bentgrass were 25-30 days and 42-47 days, respectively; only small differences were found among annual bluegrass selections in tolerance to simulated ice encasement. After 26 days, concentrations of the phytotoxic compounds butanol and ethylbutyrate were two to three times higher in annual bluegrass than in creeping bentgrass samples. Significant differences were detected among annual bluegrass selections in foliar blighting and recovery 36 days after inoculation with M. nivale at 1ºC/100% relative humidity. In late November, two annual bluegrass selections from Western Pennsylvania had significantly higher water soluble carbohydrate levels than creeping bentgrass, but these levels were not correlated with tolerance to simulated ice encasement or recovery from pink snow mold.  Tolerances to simulated ice encasement and pink snow mold were not interrelated.

Contribution of pollution from pesticides is often located to minor areas within a field. Areas with coarse textured materials in the soil profile often represent "hot spots"  with high risk of leaching, but also areas with example structured clay soils may be "hot spots". Other areas can be slopes or bottoms in depressions on plateaus were water can be ponded in wet periods or in springtime before the frost has disappeared from the soil profile. If pesticides with high risk of leaching were avoided on these areas, the contribution to groundwater pollution could be reduced extensively. Up to now limited information or tools have been developed for farmers to identify these areas. In a newly completed project, tools for groundwater and surface water protection was developed and evaluated. Three different types of tools have been developed: Topographical maps, risk tables and risk maps. Micro-topographical maps were developed to identify depressions and other vulnerable areas representing high risk of leaching and runoff. Tables of pesticide leaching risk to drainage and groundwater were derived from model simulations in spring cereals and potatoes with the mostly used plant protection strategies on the most common soil types for the areas. A meta-model was used for calculation of pesticide concentrations in groundwater and drainage water, coupled with digital soil maps and presented by Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Farmers from two areas evaluated the usefulness of these tools.Generally the farmers" attitudes to the new tools were positive, but this type of information should be integrated in already existing planning tools at the farm, like fertilizer planning. The project produces large amounts of information and an electronic presentation readily understood and easy to follow is important. In some cases different soil types and topography within the farm represented different risk of leaching. In such cases, it is necessary to easily find pesticides to be used for all areas to avoid time consuming washing and change of equipment.
