The study focuses on ecosystem services, historical aspects, and natural diversity. Specifically, it assesses possible proxies for investigating a set of cultural ecosystem services from the Norwegian agricultural landscape. Agricultural areas on the Norwegian land cover map surrounded by a 100  m wide buffer zone were analyzed for recorded historical buildings, cultural heritage sites, red-listed vascular plant species (defined as being at varying degrees at risk of extinction), and red-listed nature types (defined as endangered or vulnerable). The results indicate significant contributions from agricultural landscapes with respect to historical buildings, cultural heritage sites, and red-listed plant species. Regarding red-listed nature types, the contributions were diverse. The ecosystem proxies investigated showed increasing distribution trends with increasing proportions of agricultural landscapes in the spatial units, with a sharp increase with smaller area sizes. However, for cultural heritage sites the trend was different when the proportion of the agricultural landscape was below 25%; it showed a very slow increase. In conclusion, the study highlights the agricultural landscape’s diverse contributions to the investigated ecosystem services in Norway, prompting the need for further research on additional ecosystem services to ensure the continued delivery of environmental and social well-being.

To achieve a circular bioeconomy, nutrients within residues such as food waste (FW) and sewage sludge (SS) must be recycled to e.g., food production. However, these biowastes often contain numerous contaminants which are recycled alongside the nutrients. Identifying these contaminants is crucial to prevent potential harmful effects when residues from circular processes, including biogas digestates, are utilized as fertilizers or soil amendments in agriculture. In this study, suspect and nontarget screening was used to comprehensively assess contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) and their transformation products (TPs) in biogas digestates derived from FW and SS. A total of 133 CECs and five TPs were tentatively identified, including 61 pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), eight pesticides, and 64 industrial chemicals, with 44 of these CECs confirmed using analytical standards. Concentrations ranged from low μg kg−1 dry matter (DM) to several hundred mg kg−1 DM. SS based digestates were found to be more heavily contaminated with industrial chemicals and PPCPs, while FW based digestates contained higher levels of pesticides. These findings highlight the importance of stringent contaminant surveillance to ensure the safe agricultural application of biogas digestates and to mitigate potential risks associated with the recycling of organic residues.

Get ready for the 2025 pink salmon run when locals and fishing associations will trap as many pink salmon as possible before they enter northern Norway’s rivers! The media will be out in force too, describing how pink salmon threaten northern coastal ecosystems. But how much do we really know?
