Comparison of budburst phenology trends and precision among participants in a citizen science program
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-01)Quantifying shifts in plant phenology in response to climate change represents an ongoing challenge, particularly in mountain ecosystems. Because climate change and phenological responses vary in space and time, we need long-term observations collected at a broad spatial scale. While data collection by volunteers is a promising approach to achieve this goal, one major concern with citizen science ... -
Alien species in Norway: results from quantitative ecological impact assessments
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-20)1. Due to globalisation, trade and transport, the spread of alien species is increasing dramatically. Some alien species become ecologically harmful by threatening native biota. This can lead to irreversible changes in local biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, and, ultimately, to biotic homogenisation.<p><p> 2. We risk-assessed all alien plants, animals, fungi and algae, within certain ... -

Understanding the Influence of Belief and Belief Revision on Consumers’ Purchase Intention of Liquid Milk
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-01)An unsustainable milk value chain can make consumers’ retention of preferences fragile, leading to a reduction in belief. One of the major ways of changing this belief is “belief revision” which accounts an interaction between a change in an individual’s preference with reference to its source and a belief expectancy and affects consumers’ behavioral intentions effectively. As there is little research ... -
